Izixhobo eziphathwayo kunye nezinokunxitywa zenza imitsi emide malunga nayo yonke into. Ngalo lonke ixesha sinezikrini ezingcono, ii-eriyali ezingcono, isoftware enamandla ngakumbi kunye nayo yonke into iphucula ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, kodwa kukho into emileyo: iibhetri. Zininzi iinkampani eziphanda ukwazisa isizukulwane esilandelayo seebhetri, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba kufuneka uyeke ukuphanda, umzekelo, iindlela ezintsha zokutshaja esivumela ukuba sandise ukuzimela kwesixhobo.
Ngokutsho kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wenziwe esidlangalaleni namhlanje, ngoLwesine, nge-16 kaFebruwari, iApple iphanda izixhobo zokutshaja ezinokukwazi ukuvelisa umbane ngokuhamba. Kodwa yehlisa ulangazelelo lwakho kancinci ukuba ucinga ukuba le ntshukumo iyakuba yeyesihlahla; eyiphi singayihambisa iya kuba livili elifana nelo leewotshi zakudala kwaye siya kuhlawulisa iwotshi njengoko sisenza ngokugada iiwotshi endingenobuganga bokutsho ukuba siyeke ukuzisebenzisa ngowuphi unyaka.
Apple patent indlela entsha yokutshaja
Nangona i-patent, ekhoyo kweli khonkco, intsonkothe ngakumbi kunevili elilula elisivumela ukuba sibize i-Apple Watch, asinakukunceda kodwa sicinge ukuba yiloo nto kanye. Ngokwam, kubonakala ngathi akunakwenzeka kum ukuba abo baseCupertino bazokongeza lo msebenzi kwiwotshi yabo ehlakaniphile okanye i-iPhone, into leyo i-patent nayo icinga. Ngaba unokuthelekelela umntu ohlawule amakhulu eeuro ngewotshi ekrelekrele echitha lonke ixesha lakhe ejika ivili ngokungathi unewotshi esuka kwiminyaka engama-30 okanye ngaphezulu edlulileyo? Kwelinye icala, kwakhona Kuya kufuneka sibone ukuba sizuza kangakanani ukuzimela emva kokuba ujike ixesha elingakanani ivili lomthwalo.
Ngokoluvo lwam, into efunwa ngu-Apple ngale patent kukuba akukho mntu usebenzisa umbono abenawo, amalungelo awodwa abenzi boluntu nawo ayayisebenzela loo nto. Kodwa eyona nto inomdla ngakumbi kukuba bayaphumeza inkqubo yokutshaja, efumaneka kwiiwotshi ezininzi, ezibiza iApple Watch okanye i-iPhone ngeentshukumo zethu. Okanye uthathe i-plunge kwaye uqalise isizukulwana esilandelayo seebhetri. Ingaba ucinga ntoni?
