Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, akukho luqikelelo lwentengiso ye-iPhone enethemba. Ngamnye kubo uqinisekisa ukuba Iintengiso ze-iPhone ziya kuwa okokuqala ixesha ukususela ekusungulweni kwayo ngo-2007. Le yinto yokuba abaphathi be-Apple nabo bazive, kwaye noTim Cook uye wathetha ngale nto ngaphezu kokuhla kweentengiso ze-smartphone ye-apile. Uhlalutyo lwamva nje luza kuthi luvela kwi-KGI, kunye noMing Chi Kuo ukuba ngumhlalutyi oye wapapasha ingxelo apho ethetha ngokuhla kwentengiso.
U-Kuo unepesenti ephezulu yempumelelo kuqikelelo lwakhe malunga ne-Apple kwaye uye wanikezela ingxelo kubatyali-mali bakhe apho eqinisekisa ukuba phakathi kwe-85 kunye ne-95 yezigidi ze-iPhones ziya kuthengiswa kwisiqingatha sokuqala se-2016, ukunyuka kwisiqingatha sesibini ngesinye i-105 yezigidi. 115 lezigidi. La manani anika itotali phakathi 190 kunye ne-210 yezigidi kunyaka wonke, nangona ikholelwa ukuba intengiso iya kuwela ngaphantsi kwe-200 yezigidi zeeyunithi. Kodwa ngaba la manani mabi kangako?
UMing Chi Kuo: "I-iPhone kungenzeka ukuba ithengise ngaphantsi kweeyunithi ze-200M ngo-2016"
Ukuba sithathela ingqalelo ukuba ii-iPhones ezizigidi ezingama-232 zathengiswa ngo-2015, ukuthengisa "kuphela" iiyunithi ezizigidi ezingama-200 kuya kuthetha ukuba. ngaphezulu kwe-10% yehla kwiintengiso, okukuhla okukhulu kunokuba kuthethwa ngako kwiWall Street: 210-230M kwi-2016.
Izizathu ezenza uKuo acinge ukuba i-Apple iya kuthengisa "incinci kakhulu" zintathu kakhulu: eyokuqala kukuba abasebenzisi ababefanele batshintshe ubungakanani besikrini baya kuba sele bekwenzile oko kwi-2014 okanye ngo-2015. Okwesibini, i-iPhone SE ayizange ifake izinto ezintsha. ngokoyilo, olungayi kunceda abasebenzisi ukuba bathathe isigqibo sokuyithenga. Enyanisweni, i-iPhone SE inoyilo oluvela kwi-2013 (okanye i-2012 ukuba sithatha ingqalelo kwi-iPhone 5). Isizathu sokugqibela kukuba unethemba lokuba I-iPhone 7 Plus inekhamera ezimbini engayi kuba khona kwimodeli ye-intshi ye-4,7 kwaye, ukuba sithathela ingqalelo ukuba imodeli "eqhelekileyo" yeyona ithengisa kakhulu, kunokwenzeka ukuba kuya kubakho abasebenzisi abambalwa abathatha isigqibo sokutshintsha isixhobo sabo kwenye unentsilelo ebaluleke kakhulu.
Kwelinye icala, kwaye le yingxaki eya kubakho ukusuka ngoku ukuya phambili, zininzi izixhobo ezingabizi kakhulu ezine-hardware "efanayo" ne-iPhone, kwaye kungekudala kuya kubakho ezo zineekhamera ezimbini. Kukho abasebenzisi abaninzi abakhethe i-iPhone kuba inika umgangatho ophezulu kakhulu kunokhuphiswano, kodwa iyantlukwano iyancipha kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Ekugqibeleni unyanisile kwaye ukuba i-Apple iyaqhubeka nokunyusa amaxabiso ayo, "baya kunyanzeleka ukuba baxhonywe" kwaye, ubuncinci, siya kugqiba sithathele ingqalelo utshintsho lwendawo. Siza kubona ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kwiinyanga ezizayo.
