Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, i-FCC iqale ukuphakamisa kubakhiqizi abakhulu bamadivayisi eselula abathengisa imikhiqizo yabo e-United States ukuthi bazokwenza kusebenze i-chip ye-FM kumadivayisi abo ukuze kuthi lapho kwenzeka inhlekelele, abanikazi balawo madivayisi ukwaziswa ngaso sonke isikhathi ngezinhlelo zokuhlenga, izinyathelo ezizothathwa ...
Abaningi bangabakhiqizi bamadivayisi we-Android asebenze la machips kumadivayisi athengiswa endaweni yaseMelika ngokulandela izincomo zeFCC, kepha kuyinto abangayenzi ngamehlo amahle, ngoba uma umsebenzisi ekwazi ukufinyelela umsakazo kusuka kudivayisi yakho, Uzocabanga kabili lapho uqasha insiza yomculo yokusakaza.
Usihlalo we-FCC ukhiphe isitatimende enxusa i-Apple ukuthi isebenzise amandla omsakazo we-FM akhelwe kwimodemu ye-iPhone ngayinye:
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ngiye ngacela kaningi imboni engenazintambo ukuthi isebenze ama-chips e-FM asevele efakiwe cishe kuwo wonke ama-smartphone athengiswa eMelika. Futhi ngiveze ngqo izinzuzo zokuphepha komphakathi ngokwenza njalo. Lapho amanethiwekhi angenazintambo ehla ngesikhathi senhlekelele engokwemvelo, ama-smartphones anezicucu ze-FM ezisebenzayo anganika abaseMelika ukufinyelela okubalulekile kulwazi olusindisa impilo. " Ngizishayela ihlombe izinkampani ezenze okufanele ngokuvula izingcezu ze-FM ezingcingweni zazo.
I-Apple ingumenzi omkhulu wefoni obenqikaza ukwenza njalo. Kodwa ngithemba ukuthi inkampani izosibheka kabusha isimo sayo, uma kubhekwa umonakalo owabangelwa yiziphepho uHarvey, u-Irma noMaria. Kungakho ngicela i-Apple ukuthi isebenze ama-chips e-FM akuma-iPhones awo. Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi i-Apple yehlele ebhizinisini futhi ibeke ukuphepha kwabantu baseMelika kuqala. Ngokwamazwi ephephandaba iFlorida Sun Sentinel “Yenza okufanele, Mnu. Cook. Flip inkinobho. Ukuphila kuncike kuyo.
Ngokuya ngocwaningo olwenziwe yiNational Association of Broadcasters ngonyaka odlule, ama-44% kuphela amadivayisi asetshenzisiwe asiza i-FM chip yakhelwe kwimodemu. Iningi lamadivayisi afinyelele emakethe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa le chip, ikakhulukazi ama-94% kwakuyi-iPhone. Kakhulu Ama-Intel chips afana namaQualcomm avumela ukuxhumeka okungenantambo kwama-iPhones ane-chip ye-FM okungavumela abasebenzisi ukuthi balalele umsakazo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izinsiza zomculo zokusakaza.
I-Apple ibilokhu ingomunye wabokuqala ukusebenzisana lapho kwenzeka noma yiluphi uhlobo lwenhlekelele engokwemvelo, inikela ngemali ezinhlanganweni ezisiza ukuthanda njengasemisebenzini yokwakha kabusha. Ngokushesha u-Apple uphendule esitatimendeni ukuthi uzokwenza ngaphandle kwenkinga uma amamodeli wakho we-iPhone ayenayo, into okuthi njengoba inkampani icacisa ingenzeki, noma ku-iPhone 7 noma ku-iPhone 8, ngakho-ke kufanele kucatshangwe ukuthi ngeke kube ku-iPhone X ezongena emakethe esikhathini esingaphezu kwenyanga.
I-Apple ikhathalela kakhulu ukuphepha kwabasebenzisi bethu, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zenhlekelele, yingakho senze izixazululo zesimanjemanje zokuphepha emikhiqizweni yethu. Abasebenzisi bangashayela izinsizakalo eziphuthumayo futhi bafinyelele imininingwane yekhadi le-ID yezokwelapha ngqo kusuka kusikrini sokukhiya, futhi sinika amandla izaziso zikahulumeni eziphuthumayo, ezisukela kwizaziso zesimo sezulu kuya kuzixwayiso ze-AMBER.
Izinhlobo ze-iPhone 7 ne-iPhone 8 azinawo ama-FM radio chips noma ama-antenna enzelwe ukuxhasa amasiginali we-FM, ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukunika amandla ukwamukelwa kwe-FM kule mikhiqizo.
