Kwaye enkosi ekusebenzeni kwesicelo sokufunda sika-Apple, singawuthatha lo msebenzi siye kwelinye inqanaba. Nangona kunjalo, ayinakubandezeleka kukusilela kokunyuswa, yiyo loo nto iApple igqibe kwelokuba izame ukukhohlisa abathandi besaga ngale ndlela, ngale trio yentengiso ichaza ukuba kunjani ukufunda nokunxibelelana nayo Umdlalo weTrhones: uHlelo oluPhuculweyo, iyafumaneka kwimakethi ye-e-ncwadi yenkampani yeCupertino.
Kwiividiyo zentengiso singafumana oopopayi ababonakala ngathi benziwe ngepensile, kunye nezimvo zikaGeorge R.

Kulabo abangayaziyo le ndlela yeencwadi ezisebenzisanayo, siza kungena kwihlabathi elimnandi le-saga ngezi mephu zikhethekileyo, kwaye siya kuba nakho ukubonga izimvo ezivela kubabhali. Yinkqubo yenkxaso eya kuthi isincede sazi iintsapho ezenza ibali ngcono kunye nokufikelela kwimifanekiso. Kodwa into efanelekileyo ihlala ilixabiso, I-10 ye-euro yeyunithi nganye kunye nee-euro ezingama-40 xa sifikelela kwipakethi epheleleyoNgamafutshane, itshiphu kunefomathi yephepha, eyenza ukuba inomdla kwaye ibenomdla.
