Iinkampani zetekhnoloji azinakukhetha ngaphandle kokudibana kunye, njengoko zihlala zinesizathu esithile ukufikelela kuhlobo oluthile lwesivumelwano esiluncedo kuwo omabini amaqela, ezifana, umzekelo, ukuba uGoogle uyaqhubeka ukuba yinjini yokukhangela engagqibekanga kuzo zonke iinguqulelo ze-iOS. I-iOS isivumela ukuba sitshintshe i-injini yokukhangela engagqibekanga ibe yiYahoo, iBing okanye iTor, kodwa ipesenti yabantu abenza njalo iphantse ibe yintsalela.
Ngexesha lika-2014, isivumelwano phakathi kukaGoogle kunye neApple ukuze abafana baseCupertino baseke uGoogle njengenjini yokukhangela engagqibekanga. Ixabisa ingxowa kaGoogle yeebhiliyoni zeerandi, njengoko kuxelwe nguBloomberg. Kodwa ukongeza, isivumelwano siquka inxalenye yezibonelelo ezifunyenwe nguGoogle kutyelelo olukhokelwa zii-iPhones.
Esi sivumelwano senziwe esidlangalaleni kwidabi lenkundla ebeliqhubeka ukusukela ngo-2010 ngo Ukwaphulwa kwelungelo lokushicilela phakathi kwe-Oracle kunye ne-Mountain View guys. I-Oracle imangalele uGoogle ngokusebenzisa isoftware yeJava ukuphuhlisa inkqubo yokusebenza yeefowuni ze-Android kunye neetafile.
Ngexesha lemfazwe yenkundla kuye kwakhankanywa ukuba ukuhanjiswa kwengeniso kwinxalenye yentengiso evela kwizixhobo ze-Apple. ifike kuma-34% kuba yokugqibela. Amaqela abandakanyekayo kwisivumelwano, uGoogle kunye ne-Apple, baqhagamshelane nejaji ephethe ityala ukuthintela olu lwazi ukuba lube luluntu ukususela ekubeni imimiselo yesivumelwano phakathi kweenkampani zombini yayiyimfihlo.
Kungekudala emva kokuba le ngcaciso yenziwe esidlangalaleni, amaxwebhu ukuba bathetha ngesi sivumelwano banyamalala, ngoko kubonakala ukuba ijaji ekugqibeleni yasamkela isicelo esiziswe ziinkampani zombini, kwaye yasuswa kwisishwankathelo samaxwebhu abonisa amanani anxulumene nesivumelwano phakathi kweenkampani zombini.
