Esihlokweni esimayelana nokuthi i-Apple yasithola kanjani isizinda se-iPhone, sikhulume ngempi yegama elithi "iPhone" neCisco - ake sibheke lesi siqephu ngemininingwane emincane.
Isiphetho ngaphambi kokuqala
Ngenkathi inkampani ye-Cupertino imemezela izinhlelo zayo zokukhulula i-smartphone ebizwa ngokuthi i-iPhone, abangaphakathi abaningi babambe umoya. Inkampani engumzali ka-Linksys, i-Cisco Systems, ibingumnikazi wophawu lwe-iPhone naphezu kokuthi ama-iProducts afana ne-iMac, i-iBook, i-iPod ne-iTunes ehlotshaniswa ne-Apple emphakathini.

Ukukhishwa kwe-iPhone ye-Cisco kwamangaza kakhulu wonke umuntu—kuhle, kwaba isimanga kwaze kwavezwa ukuthi i-iPhone ye-Cisco kwakuyidivayisi ye-VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) enguqulo yayo ephezulu ebhalwe ukuthi WIP320. , ibinokuhambisana ne-Wi-Fi futhi ihlanganisa i-Skype. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kwesimemezelo, uBrian Lam, umhleli wephephabhuku iGizmodo, wabhala ukuthi i-iPhone izomenyezelwa ngoMsombuluko. “Ngiyakufakazela lokho,” esho esihlokweni sakhe ngaleso sikhathi. “Akekho owayekulindele nhlobo. Futhi sengisho okuningi kakhulu." Wonke umuntu ubelindele ukuthi i-Apple ikhiphe idivayisi ebizwa nge-iPhone, kuyilapho abaningi abavamile kanye nochwepheshe babazi ukuthi i-smartphone ye-Apple kufanele ibone ukukhanya kosuku ngo-2007, ngenkathi isimemezelo esishiwo ngenhla senzeka ngoDisemba. 2006.
Umlando omude
Kepha amadivaysi amasha avela ekukhiqizweni kweCisco bekungewona ama-iPhones okuqala wangempela. Indaba yaleli gama ihlehlela emuva ku-1998, lapho inkampani i-InfoGear yethula amathuluzi ayo ngaleli gama embukisweni we-CES ngaleso sikhathi. Noma kunjalo, amadivayisi we-InfoGear aqhosha ngobuchwepheshe bokuthinta obulula obuhlanganiswe nedlanzana lezinhlelo zokusebenza eziyisisekelo. Ngaphandle kokubuyekezwa okuhle, ama-iPhones we-InfoGear awazange athengise amayunithi angaphezu kuka-100. I-InfoGear yagcina ithengwe ngabakwaCisco ngo-2000 - kanye nophawu lokuthengisa lwe-iPhone.

U-Michal Ždanský Ngemuva kokuthi umhlaba usufunde nge-iPhone kaCisco, kucishe kwabukeka sengathi i-Apple kuzodingeka ithole igama elisha le-smartphone yayo entsha. "Uma i-Apple ikhiqiza inhlanganisela yomakhalekhukhwini kanye nesidlali somculo, mhlawumbe abalandeli bayo kufanele bayeke izinto ezilindelekile futhi bamukele ukuthi idivayisi cishe ngeke ibizwe nge-iPhone. Ngokusho kwehhovisi lelungelo lobunikazi, uCisco ungumnikazi wokubhaliswa kophawu lwe-iPhone," kubhala iphephabhuku iMacWorld ngaleso sikhathi.
Igalari yezithombe
Ngihlanze noma kunjalo
Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi uCisco wayenophawu lokuthengisa lwe-iPhone, i-Apple ngoJanuwari 2007 yethula i-smartphone enegama. Icala likaCisco alithathanga isikhathi eside - empeleni lafika ngakusasa. Encwadini yakhe ethi Inside Apple, u-Adam Lashinsky wachaza isimo lapho uSteve Jobs ethintana noCharles Giancarlo weCisco ngocingo. “USteve usanda kufona wathi ufuna i-iPhone enophawu. Akazange asinikeze lutho ngakho,” kusho uGiancarlo. “Kwakufana nesithembiso esivela kumngane omkhulu. Futhi sathi cha, ukuthi sihlela ukusebenzisa lelo gama. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, kwangena ucingo oluvela emnyangweni wezomthetho wakwa-Apple luthi bacabanga ukuthi uCisco ululahlile uhlobo—ngamanye amazwi, ukuthi iCisco ayizange iphinde ivikele impahla yengqondo yohlobo lwe-iPhone.”

UMikhal Marek Lawa maqhinga angenhla abengajwayelekile eMisebenzini, ngokusho kwabangaphakathi. Ngokusho kukaGiancarlo, uJobs wamthinta ngobusuku boSuku lweValentine futhi, ngemuva kokukhuluma isikhashana, wabuza ukuthi uGiancarlo "unayo yini i-e-mail ekhaya". Ngo-2007, isisebenzi se-IT kanye nezokuxhumana e-United States "Ubezama nje ukungiphusha - ngendlela enhle kakhulu," kusho uGiancarlo. Ngokuqondana nje, i-Cisco nayo yayinophawu lokuthengisa oluthi "IOS", ekufayineni kwayo lwalumele "Isistimu Yokusebenza Ye-inthanethi." U-Apple naye wamthanda, futhi inkampani yama-apula ayizange iyeke ukuzama ukumthola.
