Kodwa izinkampani ezisungulwe ezweni isikhathi eside ziveze ukungakhululeki kwazo kuziphathimandla, iziphathimandla ezenqabela ukuthengiswa kwalolu hlobo lwedivayisi, ithuluzi elingancintisana lisuka kuwe liye kumatheminali akhiqizwa izinkampani ezweni. Kepha ngenkathi kwamanye amazwe iziphathimandla zikubona ngamehlo amabi, kepha abanye, njengeJapan balwela i-Apple ukuthi ivumele opharetha bendawo ukuthi balahle isitoko ezweni ngaphandle kokuthi basibuyisele enkampanini.
Ngokusho kombiko iReuters efinyelele kuwo
I-Fair Trade Commission (FTC) yaseJapan ithi iNTT DoCoMo, KDDI neSoftbank Group benqabile ukuthengisa izinhlobo ezindala ze-iPhone kubathengisi, ngaleyo ndlela kwalimaza amabhizinisi amancane.

Ngokusobala opharetha abathathu abakhulu ezweni abakwazi ukuthengisa amatheminali kubathengisi ngoba ngokwemibandela yesivumelwano ne-Apple kunesigatshana esivimbela ukuthi lezi zinkampani ezintathu zibeka amadivayisi amadala emakethe. Ngaphansi kwenkontileka, i-Apple idinga ukuthi okusele okuvela kumamodeli amadala kubuyiselwe enkampanini ukuze kuthunyelwe kwezinye izimakethe ezifana neHong Kong.
AbakwaReuters bazamile ukuxhumana ne-Apple ukuze bacaciselwe ngalolu lwazi, kepha inkampani inikeze kuphela imininingwane ngenani lemisebenzi enikezwa eJapan kanye nenani eliphelele elitholwe ngabathuthukisi bezwe nge-App Store.
