Kwiveki ephelileyo, uApple uthathe ithuba lokumilisela uhlaziyo lwefirmware olulindelwe kakhulu ngabasebenzisi abaninzi kuzo zonke iziseko zeAirPort inkampani enazo kwintengiso. Olu hlaziyo iphucule ukusebenza kunye nokusebenza kweziseko zeAirPort ukongeza kwimigaqo emitsha yeKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yeFederal (FCC) yaseMelika.
Emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa, UApple ususe zonke iziseko zeAirPort kwiivenkile ezibonakalayo nezikwi-Intanethi, e-United States kuphelaKuba kwamanye amazwe banokuqhubeka nokuthengwa kwiwebhusayithi kunye nakwiVenkile yeApple. Oku kubangele isiphithiphithi njengoko kubonakala ngathi kubonisa ukuba iApple izakucwangcisa ukuyivuselela kwiNkomfa yoPhuculo eza kuqala kwiveki ezayo.
Kodwa kuyacaca ukuba umbono weApple awunxibelelananga neWWDC, ayenzi ngqondo ukuhlaziya i-firmware yezixhobo ezithile ukuzikhupha kwintengiso emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa, kodwa endaweni yoko kurhoxa kwimakethi yaseMelika. ikhuthazwe yimfuno ezintsha zeKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yase-United States. Ukuhlaziywa kwezi zixhobo bekujongwe ukuba kuthotyelwe imigaqo yezokhuseleko esekwe yi-FCC kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye ibinomhla wokugqibela wokuthobela kaJuni 2, kusuku olunye emva kokurhoxiswa kwezixhobo ezivenkileni.
NgoDisemba ophelileyo iKhomishini yoNxibelelwano ye-Federal yazisa ukuba:
Utshintsho oluvumelekileyo aluyi kuvunyelwa kwizixhobo ezivunyiweyo phantsi kwemithetho emidala, ngaphandle kokuba ziyahlangabezana neemfuno zemithetho emitsha.
Zonke iimveliso ezivunyiweyo ngokupheleleyo okanye ngokuyinxenye phantsi kwemithetho emidala azinakuthengiswa ngoJuni 2, 2016 ngaphandle kokuba ziyahlangabezana neemfuno zemithetho emitsha kuyo yonke imisebenzi.
Okokugqibela, iApple ikwazile ukudlulisa lonke uvavanyo olufunekayo kulo mzimba nakwizixhobo ndikwazile ukufumaneka kwakhona kwiVenkile yeApple, ngokwasemzimbeni nakwi-Intanethi, ke bonke abo basebenzisi bebelinde ukuvuselelwa kwezi siseko, kuya kufuneka baqhubeke nokulinda behleli phantsi.
