Kubonakala ngathi i-Apple iceba ukuphehlelela isiphelo esitsha kwii-iPads zayo: i titanium. I-priori imbono ilungile, kuba i-titanium ikhaphukhaphu kwaye yomelele kune-aluminiyam edla ngokusetyenziswa yinkampani xa kufakwa ii-iPads zayo.
Kodwa ndibona iingxaki ezimbini. A, xabiso. Ukuba i-Apple Watch encinci yonyusa ixabiso malunga ne-300 yee-Euro ekugqityweni kwe-titanium xa kuthelekiswa nemodeli efanayo kwi-aluminiyam, andifuni nokucinga malunga nokuba i-iPad ene-casing eyenziwe ngaloo nto ingabiza malini. Kwaye okwesibini, ndicinga ukuba ukugqiba ngasemva akubalulekanga, kuba uninzi lwethu lubeka ityala lokukhusela kwi-iPad yethu entsha nje ukuba siyikhuphe ebhokisini.
Ngokutsho papasha I-DigiTimes, i-Apple isebenza ubusuku nemini ukubonisa i-iPad entsha ngaphambi kokuphela kwalo nyaka. Le modeli intsha iya kuba ne-chassis ye aluminium alloy iqhutywe yiPVD. Imodeli yesizukulwana sesithoba ayisayi kuba notshintsho olubalulekileyo loyilo, kodwa imithombo yengxelo ithi intengiso yeeyunithi ezimalunga nezigidi ezingama-60 kulindeleke kulo nyaka.
Le ngxelo inye ikwachaza ukuba i-alloy ye-aluminium yangoku inokutshintshwa kuhlaziyo lwe-iPad oluzayo. Kuthiwa inkampani ijonge ukwazisa i-chassis yentsimbi i-titanium esekwe kwizizukulwana ezizayo ze-iPads zangoku.
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, i-titanium casing inokubonelela ngeenzuzo ezininzi, ezifana nokwenza ukuba kwenzeke uyilo olubhityileyo kunye nolukhaphukhaphu ngelixa ugcina ingqibelelo yesakhiwo sesixhobo. Kodwa ingxaki ikwixabiso eliphezulu lemveliso ngezinto ezithethiweyo.
Oko kunganyusa ixabiso le iPad, kwaye akuyi kuba kuhle kweso sixhobo. Akukho ngqiqweni, ke, ukuba inkampani iqalise imodeli "ngokhetho" lokugqitywa kwe-titanium ukubona ukuba imarike iya kuyamkela njani. Inokuba yintengiso yokuthengisa, njengoko kwenzekile nge-titanium Apple Watch. Siza kubona.
