Emva kwamarhe amaninzi malunga netekhnoloji eza kusetyenziswa ngu-Apple ukuxhobisa ii-iPhones zayo ngetekhnoloji ye5G, kubonakala ngathi Inkampani iyakuphela isebenzisa uyilo lwe-eriyali yayo, ikakhulu kuba ayonelisekanga yile nto iQualcomm ibanika yona. Iya kusebenzisa i-chip yayo, kodwa i-eriyali iya kuyilwa eCupertino.
Ukudityaniswa kwe5G likamva. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba abaqhubi, nakwindawo encinci abanye abavelisi, bafuna ukuba sikholelwe ukuba sele ikho ngoku, inyani kukuba isiseko sisekude ekunikezeleni nge-5G yokwenyani kwizixeko ezininzi (asithethi nokuthetha ngeendawo ezisemaphandleni). Iimodeli ezinetekhnoloji ye5G ngaphakathi ziza ne-dropper, igcinelwe ezona smartphones zikhethekileyo, kunye namaxabiso aphezulu kakhulu.
I-Apple ibonakala ngathi iyangena kulo nyaka, kunye ne-iPhones ezazisa emva kwehlobo. Kwaye kujongeka ngathi iyakwenza njalo ngokudibanisa itekhnoloji yeQualcomm kunye neyayo. Kwelinye icala iya kusebenzisa i-chip yeQualcomm, kodwa ngokubhekisele kwi-eriyali iya kuyisebenzisa. Isizathu sesi sigqibo silele kuyilo lwe-iPhone. Ngokwemithombo yenkampani, i-eriyali yeQualcomm ayinakulunga kuyilo iApple efuna ukunika i-iPhone yalo elandelayo.
Lo ngumceli mngeni wokwenyani kwiApple, kuba ukudibanisa iitekhnoloji ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zento ebalulekileyo ayisiyonto ilula. Yiyo kanye leyo I-Apple igcina uyilo olwahlukileyo, oluqinileyo xa uyilo lwe-eriyali lusilela, into abangayilindelanga ukuba ingenzeka kodwa bayavuma ukuba abanakukugweba namhlanje. Ukongeza, inkampani ifuna ukuxhomekeka kancinci kwiQualcomm, akukho mfuneko yokukhumbula ukungqubana phakathi kweenkampani ezimbini eziphele ngesivumelwano kodwa uthuthu lwazo lushushu.
Esi sigqibo sokudibanisa iitekhnoloji ezahlukeneyo siza kuba kulo nyaka we-2020. Izicwangciso zika-Apple zibandakanya ukugqiba usebenzisa iichips zayo ze-5GKungenxa yoko le nto bathenga ishishini lemodem ye-Intel, kodwa ukuphuculwa kwezi chips zakho ngekhe kufike, kwangoko, kude kube ngu-2021, ke ngoku ufuna iQualcomm ukuba ufuna ukusebenzisa i-5G kwi-iPhone yakho.
