I-iPad isalokhu yehla futhi ingenawo amabhuleki phakathi nonyaka ka-2017, ngani?

Okokuqala, uma ngabe ubuze, nasi isibuyekezo esisebenza noLuis Padilla asishiyele i-iPad entsha eyethulwe yi-Apple emasontweni ambalwa edlule futhi ehlose ngayo ukuvuselela imakethe yethebhulethi. Futhi manje sizokhuluma ngakho ngqo ukuthi, imakethe yamathebulethi, ikakhulukazi i-iPad, ebilokhu yehla kusukela ekupheleni kuka-2013 futhi engabonakali izinzile ngokuqinisekile ngokuthengisa. Sizozama ukubheka izizathu zokuthi kungani i-iPad ingaqedi ukuba nomjikelezo wokuthengisa onengqondo futhi ozinzile, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, kungani amaphilisi engayekile ukuwa ekuthengiseni eminyakeni yamuva.

Baphinde bawa futhi, ngezinga elincane kodwa eliqhubekayo, ngekota yokuqala ka-2017 sithola ukuthi i-iPad iyaqhubeka nokulahlekelwa yimakethe, yize i-Apple izame ngezindlela eziningi, futhi lokho ukwethulwa kwe-iPad Pro kuhloselwe ukuthumba izithameli ebekucatshangwa ukuthi azinakuzikhethela. Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi amaphilisi aphezulu awakashintshi ukuthengisa, kubonakala sengathi I-Apple izame okuphambene nalokho, ukuvula i-iPad ngentengo elinganiselayo nangehadiwe elinamandla impela ngenhloso yokukhuthaza ukuthengisa emkhakheni wezemfundo noma ukutholwa kokuqala, sizobona ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwamathebulethi kuqhubeka kanjani kuleli kota lesibili lonyaka we-2017, kepha umbono ukhomba ukuthi awunalutho ngokuphelele.

I-iPad yinhle kakhulu ihlala isikhathi eside "yinde kakhulu"

Owokuqala unengqondo njengoba kubuhlungu, futhi kunjalo lapho sithenga i-iPad esikhundleni solunye uhlobo lwethebhulethi ngokungangabazeki ngenxa yesiqinisekiso sokuqina ukuthi isinikeza ngokuqhathaniswa namathebulethi womncintiswano. Futhi asifinyeleli ngqo empikiswaneni, ngamanani lapho i-iPad ihamba khona ngeke sithole izinto ezingcono, i-hardware engcono nokusekelwa okuningi ngemuva kwe-Apple. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amaphilisi e-Android atholakala nge-chassis eminingi epulasitiki, amabhethri angenangqondo nezibuyekezo ezingafiki.

Kodwa inkinga, nenkinga ebusisiwe, ukuthi i-iPad iyidivayisi ehlala isikhathi eside ngokweqiniso. Yize kuliqiniso ukuthi iningi lethu elithenga i-iPad ligcina liphindaphinda eminyakeni edlule, kuyaqabukela ukuthi ngubani othola i-iPad entsha ngokufika kwenguqulo entsha, ngokungafani nalokho okungenzeka nge-iPhone, okuthi uma ine-legion enkulu yabasebenzisi abazimisele ukuyivuselela njalo ngonyaka.

I-iOS ayihambisani nazo zonke izidingo

Ngobubanzi bePro, inkampani yeCupertino yafuna ukuthi i-iPad iyeke ukuba ithuluzi lokusebenzisa okuqukethwe ngokuyisisekelo, ukudala kwakutholakala kubasebenzisi. Kodwa-ke, uhlelo lokusebenza aluhambisani, i-iOS akuyona impela i-panacea ngokwamathuba nobubanzi bokusebenza, yingakho ngamanani azungeze i-iPad Pro abantu bakhetha ukukhetha ezinye izindlela, empeleni, ezinye zazo ezinye izindlela zingena emakethe kanzima impela.

Ngokusobala sibhekise kokuguqukayo, yize i-Apple ibifuna ukwenza i-iPad yayo engu-12,9-intshi ibe yinto efana naleyo, ayiphumelelanga, i-Intel nabakhiqizi bethebhulethi bazi kahle ukuthi kubusa ini manje emakethe, bangamakhompyutha ane-Desktop operating system kodwa engaguqulwa ibe ithebhulethi, kuyindlela elula nephumelela kunazo zonke yokudla okuqukethwe futhi ikudale ngezikhathi ezithile uma kunesidingo. Noma kunjalo, i-iPad ayikwazi ukumboza la mathuba ngoba i-iOS nemvelo yayo yohlelo kugxile ngokucacile ekukhiqizeni noma ekusetshenzisweni. Impela, lezi yizimbangela ezimbili ezinkulu ezenza i-iPad iwele ikota yeshumi nambili elandelanayo.

I-iPad eyodwa yokubabusa bonke

Ukwethulwa kwale-iPad entsha ngentengo enengqondo, njengoba kwenzeka osukwini lwayo nge-iPhone SE, abaningi ababekholelwa ukuthi izalwe ifile kepha iphuma njalo emashalofini, ingahle ivuselele imakethe yamathebulethi ngendlela eyenza hhayi esingakucabanga. Sizobuya ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ukuzokuvuselela, kepha iqiniso ukuthi ukuhlaziywa kwemakethe kwakamuva kwe I-FIKSU ihambisa izikhathi ezimbi ze-iPad.
