Ngokusho kwenkampani i-Strategy Analytics, Apple wahlala naye Izinga lemakethe lama-21% labaprosesa be-smartphone ngo-2015. Kulesi sigaba, inkampani eholwa nguTim Cook inyukela edowudini lesithathu lesikhulumi ngemuva nje kweMediaTek, eno-19%, noQualcomm, owehle amaphuzu ayi-10 wahlala kuma-42%. Amaprosesa we-Qualcomm's Snapdragon asetshenziswa kwinani elikhulu lama-smartphones, kepha u-2015 bekungunyaka wokuncintisana okukhulu kwama-processor kanye nezinkampani ezinjenge-Samsung zikwazile ukuthumela ama-chips aphindwe kabili njengoba athunyelwa ngo-2014.
Ikusasa alibonakali lithembisa izibalo ezingcono zeQualcomm, ngoba inkampani ebaluleke kakhulu emakethe yeprosesa, Intel ibe nokukhula kwama-66% ngonyaka we-2015, okukhombisa ukuthi abakhiqizi banesithakazelo kuma-processor abo. Noma kunjalo, ama-processor we-Intel ayekhona kuphela ku-1% wama-smartphones ngo-2015, okungasho ukuthi akufanele acatshangelwe ikusasa.
Kepha ngokuqondene ne amaphilisiI-Apple, bekude, inkampani eyethule ama-processor amaningi emakethe. Njengoba ubona esithombeni esilandelayo, abaprosesa benkampani yeCupertino bagcina ifayili le- I-31% yesabelo semakethe, kuze kube seqophelweni lokuphindeka kabili ngo-16% walabo abasondele ngokushesha, iQualcomm.
Esikhundleni sesithathu bekuyi-Intel, ene-14%. IMediaTek, yize ingasabonakali eshadini, yahlala eduze kakhulu nendawo yesithathu ye-Intel.
U-2015 kube unyaka wokuqala lapho wethula khona i- ukwehla minyaka yonke kuma-chip chips. Ngokuya nge-Strategy Analytics, izizathu zalokhu kwehla zimbili: okokuqala ukuthi abasebenzisi baya ngokuya bakhetha lokho okubizwa ngama-phablets noma amaphilisi, into engingabelani ngayo, ngoba lawa madivayisi anesikrini esiyingxenye kunaleso esisebenzisayo amaphilisi futhi angicabangi ukuthi angabambela okuhle. Isizathu sesibili sokuthi inkampani eqhuba lolu cwaningo isinikeze kubonakala ngathi sinengqondo kimi: abasebenzisi bagcina amaphilisi isikhathi eside kunamafoni. Ngaphandle kokuqhubeka, nginomfowethu osasebenzisa i-iPad 2 futhi nami ngigcina i-iPad 4 yami, ngicabanga ushintsho kwi-iPad Air 3.
Kunoma ikuphi, izibalo zikhona futhi kuyamangaza ukuthi inkampani ekhiqiza kuphela amaprosesa emikhiqizo yayo isala kanjani no-21% wesabelo semakethe kuma-smartphones naku-31% kumathebulethi.
