Sithethe iminyaka emininzi malunga nokubakho kwezicwangciso zika-Apple zokudibanisa umgca we-iPad kunye neMac ngenye indlela okanye enye kwixa elizayo, ethi inokuba linyathelo lokuqala lokunyamalala kweemodeli zokungena kuluhlu lweMac, njengokuba kunjalo neMacBook Air ngokuxhasa i-iPad Pro, umzekelo.
Ngokufika kwe-iPadOS kunye neMacOS Big Sur, sabona ukufana okuninzi kuzo zombini iinkqubo zokusebenza. Emva kokuphehlelelwa kwe-Pro Pro entsha nge-Apple's M1 processor, kukho amarhe amaninzi okuba iApple ingazidibanisa zombini ezi zixhobo, nangona inkampani isitsho ikamva lezixhobo zombini liya kuhlala lizimeleyo.
UGreg Joswiak, iGosa eliyiNtloko leNtengiso, kunye noJohn Ternuns, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezeKhompyutha, bathethe nabo Ezizimeleyo, esithi inkampani awucwangcisi ukudibanisa ezi zixhobo zibe mbini. UJoswiak ubanga ukuba ukumilisela iprosesa ye-M1 kwi-iPad Pro entsha ayilophawu lokuba iApple isebenza ukuguqula izixhobo zombini.
Kukho amabali amabini aphikisanayo abantu abathanda ukuwabalisa malunga ne-iPad kunye neMac.Kwelinye icala, abantu bathi bayaphikisana. Ukuba umntu kufuneka athathe isigqibo sokuba bayayifuna iMac okanye bafuna i-iPad.
Kwelinye icala, abantu bathi siyazidibanisa ukuba zibeyinto enye: ukuba kukho iyelenqe elikhulu lokuphelisa la manqanaba mabini abenze babe nye. Kwaye inyani kukuba akukho kwezi zinto zimbini ziyinyani. Sizingca kakhulu ngokusebenza kakhulu, kunzima kakhulu ukwenza ezona mveliso zibalaseleyo kwiindidi zazo.
UJohn Ternus wongeze ukuba ukukhuthaza kuka-Apple kukwenza eyona Mac kunye neyona iPad ibalaseleyo Kwaye inkampani iya kuqhubeka ukugxila kuloo kwixesha elizayo, ilahle izimvo zokudibana ezijikeleze zombini izixhobo.
UJoswiak uyangqina ukuba bafuna ukusebenzisa iprosesa ye-M1 kuluhlu olutsha lwe-iPad Pro ukuqinisekisa abathengi babo ukuba isixhobo ayizukuphelelwa lixesha kwiminyaka embalwa Kananjalo unike ababhekisi phambili ithuba lokwenza isoftware ekuvumela ukuba ufumane okuninzi kuyo.
Okucacileyo kukuba esi sixhobo asizukuphelelwa lixesha kule minyaka imbalwa izayo, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ikhibhodi yomlingo inayo. Ikhibhodi ene-trackpad eyaphehlelelwa ngu-Apple kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye ayihambelani nesizukulwane esitsha se-IP Pro, njengoko inobubanzi be-0,5 mm (ngenxa yescreen se-mini-ye-LED).
Ukuba uthenge ikhibhodi yobugqi ye-2018-intshi ye-iPad Pro 2020 kunye ne-12,9 kwaye ucwangcisa ukuthenga i-iPad Pro 2021 entsha, kuya kufuneka uphinde uthenge ikhibhodi entsha yoMlingo, ngaphandle kokuba iApple qalisa ukunyuswa okanye isaphulelo xa ifumaneka ukugcinwa kuyo yonke inyanga kaMeyi.
