Inkampani yase-Asia iMediaTek, okuthi ngokwamahlebezi akamuva maduzane izophatha ukwenziwa kwe-HomePod futhi amaprosesa ayo asebenza kokuningi amatheminali aphansi naphakathi naphakathi emakethe, uzama ukuba umphakeli omkhulu wama-chips we-5G okufanele ngonyaka ozayo ahlangane nama-iPhones amasha.
Izimo i-Apple ebhekene nazo njengamanje neQualcomm zidale ukuthi inkampani ezinze eCupertino kudingeke ukuthi ifune ezinye izindlela ezingabhekelela konke okudingwa yinkampani. Ngalo nyaka, inkampani ezophatha ukubanikeza kuzoba yi-Intel ngama-70%, ngenkathi konke okunye okufunwayo kuzofakwa yiQualcomm.
Isidingo esikhulu sokuthi i-Apple yalolu hlobo lwe-chip iphoqa inkampani ukuthi ifune ezinye izindlela, ngoba i-Intel ayinamandla okuletha ubuningi obudingayo. Ngokusho kwamahemuhemu wakamuva, IMediaTek iziveza njengenye indlela hhayi iQualcomm kuphela kepha ne-Intel, ngomqondo ongathi uzonakekela cishe konke okuphakelwa yinkampani ngonyaka ozayo.
IMediaTek izobe isilungele ukuqala ukukhiqiza amamodemu we5G ngonyaka ozayo, ngaleyo ndlela izibeke njenge- umphakeli okufanele acatshangelwe nge-Apple ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zakho ezibanzi. Kepha, ngokubheka ukuthi i-Apple iyaqapha kakhulu lapho sikhuluma ngokwamukela amazinga ethu emhlabeni wezingcingo.
Amasu opharetha kufanele aqale ukusebenzisa leli zinga elisha ku- ekuqaleni kuka-2019Amatheminali we-Android angamamodeli okuqala okufika emakethe ngalokhu kuhambelana, futhi mhlawumbe yi-Galaxy S10 eyokuqala ukwenza kanjalo. Ngokusho kwabahlaziyi, i-iPhone yokuqala ukushaya imakethe nge-chip ehambisana namanethiwekhi we-5G izokwenza lokho ngo-2020.
