Uninzi lwenu luyakukhumbula oko malunga neminyaka emithathu edlulileyo iapile yayinenye yeengxaki zayo ezinkulu ngokunxulumene nezixhobo ezithengisayo. A ngxaki kubangelwe lixesha loloyiko lokuphelelwa lixesha, nangona yayinxulumene ne ukuthotywa kwelona candelo linokuthotywa, ukuxabisa ukungafuneki, kwezixhobo zethu: ibhetri. U-Apple uqinisekisile ukuba baqala ukucothisa izixhobo ngeebhetri ezindala, kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu imibutho emininzi yamanye amazwe inyanzela abafana baseCupertino ukuba benze utshintsho olusemthethweni lweebhetri njengexabiso lokukhusela abasebenzisi. Ngoku imibutho emininzi yabathengi baseYurophu ibuyela kumthwalo ukuze iApple ibuyele ukuhlawula abasebenzisi bayo.
Ngokukodwa bebenjalo Uvavanyo lwe-Achats (eBelgium), i-OCU (eSpain), iDeco-Protee (ePortugal), iAltroConsumo (e-Itali) kunye neProtesti (eBrazil). Iinkampani zaseYurophu, ngaphandle kweProtestanti yaseBrazil, ezinenjongo zazo I-Apple ihlawula i-euro ezingama-60 kubasebenzisi abaziva bekhohlisiwe xa bebona ukuba i-Apple ilandela isicwangciso sayo sokuphelelwa lixesha. Kwaye le kutheni? Kungenxa yokuba iApple ingalandela icebo layo lokunciphisa ubomi beebhetri, ngesizathu sokuba izinciphise izixhobo njengoko ezi bhetri "zonakele".
Ngokwenyani okanye hayi, ndicinga ukuba bonke abavelisi benza iintshukumo ezifanayo. Ngokucacileyo yonke into ekhusela thina njengabathengi yamkelekile, kwaye iApple iphela inganciphisa ixabiso lokutshintshwa kwebhetri yezixhobo zayo iya kuba ziindaba ezimnandi. Ukuba basihlawule i-euro ezingama-60 emva kwesikhalazo sokuba isixhobo sethu asisekho kwinto esasiyiyo xa sasiyithenga ndibona kunzima. Kodwa ntoni sivunyelwe ukuba silawule ngakumbi iibhetri zethu, njengoko sibona ukuba bayifakile iwotsOS 7 ngokunjalo, kwaye bendisithi, ukuncitshiswa kwexabiso lokutshintshwa kweebhetri, kuba ndicinga ukuba oko kuya kwanela. Kwaye kuwe, ucinga ntoni ngempikiswano yeebhetri ze-iDevices?
