Nasiphi na isixhobo se-elektroniki esifuna ukufikelela kwimakethi yaseNyakatho Melika kufuneka kudlula ulawulo lweKhomishini yoNxibelelwano ye-Federal (FCC). Ngaphezulu kwesihlandlo esinye sipapashe ulwazi olunxulumene nesixhobo senkampani ebesigqithise izihluzo zalo mzimba okanye ebezilindelwe ukwenza njalo. NgoSeptemba ophelileyo, iApple yacela eli qumrhu ukuba lenze iimvavanyo eziyimfuneko ukuze lithengiswe, isixhobo esabhaptizwa njenge-A1844, njengenombolo yomzekelo. Sifunde enye into encinci malunga nesi sixhobo, ngaphandle kokuba ivumela i-NFC kunye neBluetooth uqhagamshelo ngaphandle kwamacingo.
Kwakhona abafana abavela eCupertino bangenise isixhobo esitsha esingenazingcingo inikeza unxibelelwano olufanayo, i-NFC kunye neBluetooth, kunye nenombolo yayo ye-serial yi-A1846, enokuthi ibe kukuhlaziywa kwemodeli ayivelileyo ngenyanga kaSeptemba wonyaka ophelileyo. Okwangoku akukho sixhobo seApple sinenombolo efanayo naleyo. Akukho sithombe sinokusikhupha ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo malunga nokuba inokuba yintoni le fowuni. Ekuphela kwento enokuqikelelwa ngokwelebula yemveliso kukuba sisixhobo esinemiphetho egobileyo kunye nezikere ezimbini zeTorx.
Ekuqaleni bekucingelwa ukuba inokuba yimodeli entsha ye-Apple TV, kodwa yalahlwa ngokukhawuleza njengoko inkcazo yemveliso kunye neelebheli zeFCC zibonakala zibonisa ukuba ayisiyomveliso iza kuthengiswa, kodwa sisixhobo sokusetyenziswa kwangaphakathi kwinkampani okanye kukwakhona. iibhikhoni ze-iBeacon, ezinokuthi zijolise kumashishini afuna ukuwasebenzisa kumaziko abo ukunika ulwazi malunga neemveliso zabo abathengi besondela.
