Into engenalo inani labantu elingayaziyo kukuba enyanisweni i-iPhone iyangqinelana nomsakazo we-FM, ngelishwa yinkampani yaseCupertino ngokwayo ekhetha ukunciphisa ukusebenza kwayo, sicinga ukuba ukuzama ukwenza ukusasaza umxholo kuqhubeke. Nangona kunjalo, ithathela ingqalelo ububi obuye benzeka kunxweme lwase-United States, i-FCC ifuna i-Apple ukuba iphinde ivuselele umsebenzi werediyo ye-FM kwiitheminali zayo.
Ngelishwa oku akunakwenzeka, U-Apple uphendule ukuba zeziphi izizathu zokuba kutheni ingazukuvula ukusebenza kwe-FM kwiitheminali zayo zangoku okanye ezidlulileyo. Siza kwazi ukuba kutheni esi sicelo sinomdla.
Nantsi indlela Bloomberg Abameli beCCC bavakalise izimvo zabo malunga nokuba kutheni iApple kufuneka yenze irediyo ye-FM kwizixhobo zayo:
Ulwazi lunokusasazwa ngonomathotholo ukunceda ukukhupha abantu ngokukhawuleza kwiimeko ezingxamisekileyo, njengaxa kukho inkanyamba okanye inkanyamba. Nokuba iApple okanye nabani na ongomnye akafanele ngokuzithandela aluthintele olu hlobo lolwazi, sikholelwa ekubeni inokunceda ukukhusela ubomi babasebenzisi bayo.
Nangona kunjalo, inyani kukuba ukusukela kwi-iPhone 7 (leyo ibandakanyiwe) isixhobo asinakuba nakho nangaluphi na uhlobo ukwamkela unomathotholo, ngelixa iimodeli zangaphambili bezinokuthi ukuba iApple ingavimbanga olo khetho. Kwimeko yentlekele yendalo, kuqhelekile ukuba uqhagamshelo lweselfowuni kunye nedatha luyeke, ke unomathotholo we-FM uhlala ulolona khetho lufanelekileyoNangona kunjalo, iApple iphendule ngokufutshane ukuba ayinakwenzeka ukuphinda isebenze le misebenzi kwaye ineendlela zayo zokukhusela abasebenzisi bayo kwimeko yentlekele, nangona ingafunanga ukunika ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nayo. Apha ungasifunda isicelo esisesikweni seFCC kuApple sokuphinda wenze i-chip ye-FM.
