Ngokutsho kwemithombo yeendaba, i-Apple yayiza kuvala isivumelwano sokuthenga kunye ne-Intel kwaye iya kuthatha ngayo ishishini modem for mobile phones. Intsimi i-Intel eya kuyishiya emva, ngokuchanekileyo, i-Apple iyeka ukuba ngumxhasi wayo oyintloko. Kodwa kutheni inkampani yeCupertino ingafuna ukuyifumana? Impendulo ilula kakhulu.

Isemthethweni, I-Apple ithenge ishishini lemodem ye-Intel. Yenziwa ngamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza angama-17.000 kunye nabasebenzi abangama-2.200 abaya kuba yinxalenye ye-Apple. Le ntshukumo iqinisekisa ukuzimela okukhulu kwixesha elizayo. Uya kuba nakho ukuphuhlisa iitshiphusi zabo ze-Apple A kwaye ubandakanye izisombululo ze-bespoke kuzo zonke iimveliso zabo.
I-Apple inokuthenga ishishini lemodem ye-Intel
Ngokweengxelo zeendaba ezinje The Wall Street Journal, I-Apple inokusondela kakhulu ukuvala isivumelwano sokuthenga kunye ne-Intel. Ngaphezu koko, inokubhengezwa kwiiveki ezimbalwa kwaye oko inkampani kaTim Cook eya kukufumana ayizukuba yinto engaphaya kweshishini iimodem zezixhobo eziphathwayo.
I-Intel ibhengeze kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo ukuba bayarhoxa, ukuba bayalishiya ishishini emva kwe ilahleko Apple njengomthengi ophambili. Ngamazwi CEO yayo Bob Swan, ngaphandle Apple abazange babone indlela phambili kakuhle kakhulu ukuqhubeka nokuphuhlisa imveliso enjalo. Kwaye kukuba, inkampani yeapile yayiyeyona mthengi uphambili we-Intel. Abanye abavelisi beetheminali ze-Android bamkele izisombululo zeQualcomm okanye bazise ezabo.
Kutheni i-Apple ishiya i-Intel? Ewe, inkampani igqibe kwelokuba yenze uxolo neQualcomm kwaye ivale isivumelwano abathe bazishiya ngaso iingxabano ezidlulileyo. I-Intel ayikwazanga ukubonelela ngeemodem ze-5G kwikhalenda yemihla abayiphetheyo kwaye bafuna isisombululo. Nangona kunjalo, i-Apple inengqondo yokuxhomekeka kancinci kwiinkampani zangaphandle.
Le yokugqibela ikhokelele inkampani ukuba iphuhlise eyayo iprosesa ye-Apple AX enike iziphumo ezintle kwizizukulwana zamva nje. Ke ukuthatha i-Intel kwishishini lemodem kwenza yonke ingqiqo emhlabeni. Kuba kwiibhiliyoni zeedola abathi baya kuzihlawula, i-Apple ayizukuthatha nje ipotfoliyo yelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, kunye nabasebenzi abaqeqeshiweyo nabaxabisekileyo ukuba baqhubeke nokuphuhlisa izisombululo zabo.
Ewe kunjalo, kuyavakala ukuba asizukubona i-Apple AX yenye yezi modem ze-Intel ezidityanisiweyo nangaliphi na ixesha kungekudala. Yonke into iya kufuneka ibe phambili kakhulu kwaye asikholelwa ukuba oku kunjalo. Kodwa kwisithuba seminyaka embalwa okanye kwezinye iimveliso ezinje ngeelaptops ezizayo banokuba nendawo kwixesha eliphakathi. Ukuba ngabanini be-Apple, banokudlala kunye noyilo kunye nokulungelelanisa imveliso kwiimfuno zabo kunye nemibono. Ngokomzekelo, ukuphucula kunye nokuphucula kokubili ukusebenza kunye nokuzimela kwesixhobo ngokwaso, imiba ehlala ibalulekile.
Siza kubona ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo, ukuba ngokwenene kuqinisekisiwe kwaye zonke iinkampani ezinokuthi zichaphazeleke ngandlela thile zithathe amanyathelo. Kubasebenzisi, ngokukodwa abo be-Apple, oku kufunyanwa kunokuba kuhle. Nangona kuya kufuneka babonise ukuba bayamelana nezisombululo zeQualcomm kunye nezinye iinkampani ezikhethekileyo kwezi zifundo.
