Amathemba abekwe kwi-WWDC 2016 esondelayo eqala ngoJuni 13 inkulu kakhulu kwaye kwiindawo ezininzi. Uphuculo lwe-iOS 10, i-OS kunye nokuba bangaze bafike, kwaye ukuba kukho nayiphi na ifikile, inqabile kakhulu: iCloud. I-Apple yayiyenye yeenkampani zokuqala ukuthembela kwilifu ukuze abasebenzisi bagcine idatha, kodwa sisenamandla okugcina ahlekisayo.. Lifikile ixesha lokuba iCloud ibe lukhetho ngokwenene kwaye izinto kufuneka zitshintshe. Ukunikeza indawo yokugcina simahla esekwe kwisixhobo osithengileyo kunokuba yeyona ndlela ilungileyo.
Ukugcina amaxwebhu ethu efini, iifoto kunye neevidiyo ukuze ukwazi ukufikelela kuzo naphi na ngaphandle kokuthwala iinkumbulo zangaphandle sisicwangciso esihle, kwaye i-Apple ihlala izama ukusiqinisekisa ukuba le yeyona ndlela. Ilifu likamva, akukho mathandabuzo amancinci ngaloo nto, kodwa sifuna ilifu eliluncedo ngokwenene. Ukuthenga i-iPhone ye-128GB okanye okubi ngakumbi, i-256GB iPad kunye nokuba ne-5GB kuphela yokugcina i-iCloud yinto engafanelekanga. Kucacile ukuba ukugcinwa kwamafu kufuneka kuhlawulwe, kufuneka nje ujonge amaxabiso ezinye iinkonzo kunye nezithintelo eziqhubekayo ezibekwe nguMicrosoft kwilifu lakhe lobuqu, kanye njengesisa kwaye ngoku lirickety njengeApple's. Kodwa ngaba sele sihlawula ngokwaneleyo?
Enye yeendlela ezizezinye ezicetyiswa ngabaninzi, kwaye oko kuya kuvumela i-Apple ukuba ihlule kwezinye iinkonzo ezifanayo, kukubonelela ngomthamo wokugcina simahla, mhlawumbi unqunyelwe ixesha elithile, ngokomthamo wesixhobo osithengayo. Ixabiso lomthamo omkhulu onikezelwa yi-Apple kwi-iCloud yi-120 ye-euro ye-1TB yendawo unyaka wonke. Asizukufikelela kwelo nqanaba kubo bonke abasebenzisi, kodwa ngaba bekungayi kuba sengqiqweni kwabo bathenge iMacBook, i-iPad, i-iPhone kunye ne-Apple Watch? Iya kuba yindlela efanelekileyo yokwenza into eyenziwa yi-Apple: ukunyaniseka kubasebenzisi bayo. Ukubonelela nge-GB yasimahla kwi-iCloud xa uthenga isixhobo esitsha se-Apple kwaye usiqokelele ukuba uthenga izixhobo ezininzi kunokuba sisicwangciso esifanelekileyo sokuqinisekisa abasebenzisi abaninzi kunye nokugcina abanye. Siza kubona ukuba iintloko zokucinga zeCupertino ziyasimangalisa ngento ngeli xesha.
Kufuneka ubuncinane babonelele nge-5Gb kwisixhobo ngasinye osigcina sisebenza. Kwaye mhlawumbi ngaphezulu kwe-Gb ngokulinganayo kumthamo wesixhobo. Ngokomzekelo, kwii-16Gb izixhobo zingaba yi-5Gb, kwii-32Gb izixhobo zingaba yi-8Gb, kwii-64Gb izixhobo zingaba yi-16Gb, kwii-128Gb izixhobo zingaba yi-32Gb kunye ne-256Gb izixhobo zingaba yi-64Gb. KwiMacs 128Gb nokuba ithini na umthamo wayo.
Ngesi sikimu ndiza kuba ne-10Gb ubuncinane ukuba ndinezixhobo ezi-2 okanye i-21Gb ukuba ndine-iPad ye-intshi ye-32 kunye ne-iPhone ye-intshi engama-64. Nayiphi na indlela iya kulunga. Ubuncinci nge-10Gb ndiza kuba nendawo eyaneleyo yokugcina izixhobo zam.
