Njengoba besithuthuka izolo, U-Apple umemezele ngokusemthethweni ukuthi bekuxoxiswana ne-Intel ukuze ukuthengwa kwe-chip modem division yayo kuma-Smartphones, anenani elingaba yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane zamaRandi. Ngaleso sivumelwano, I-Apple ukuthola isethi enhle yamalungelo obunikazi ahlobene nokudluliswa kwe-5G, nabasebenzi ababalelwa ku-2.200 XNUMX.
Uyabona ukuthi i-Apple ayifuni ukulahlekelwa yizikhundla emjahweni wokuxhaphaza ukudluliswa kwedatha ku-5G. Umbiko weReuters iqinisekisa ukuthi eCupertino bafuna ukuba nayo amadivayisi atholakalayo ngobuchwepheshe be-5G ngo-2021.
I-iPhone XI ezokwethulwa kulo nyaka, singaqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke ihambisane nebhendi entsha ye-5G, ngoba izoqhubeka nokufaka imodemu ye-Intel 4G yamanje. Ngo-2020, kulindeleke ukuthi ama-iPhones angomuso azofaka i-chip yokudlulisela ye-5G, yenziwe yiQualcomm. AbakwaReuters babikezela lokho, ngemuva konyaka, kwi I-2021 Apple izobe isivele isilungele imodemu yayo ngobuchwepheshe be-5G. Ngalokhu kuthengwa, uTim Cook ulindele ukwethulwa kwemodemu yakhe ye-5G ngeminyaka emithathu noma emine, ngoba njengamanje "babehlaza" ekwakhiweni kwalobu buchwepheshe obusha, futhi abazange babeke umnqamulajuqu wokuqalisa ngaphambi konyaka we-2025.
Ukuthi kungakapheli iminyaka emibili i-Apple isivele ine-chip yayo ye-5G, akusho ukuthi iqala ukuyifaka kuwo wonke amadivayisi ayo. Njengoba imikhiqizo yakho isivele izomakethwa ngoxhumo olunejubane elikhulu, ngeke kube khona "ukuthengisa" okujaha umsebenzisi, kodwa kunalokho ushintsho luzoba ngaphakathi, ukumisa ukufaka ama-chips we-Qualcomm bese uqala ngezakho. Mhlawumbe, bazoqala ukuwasebenzisa ochungechungeni olushibhile lwama-iPhones, noma baqale ukukhiqiza nge-5G iPad.
Inkontileka isayinwe neQualcomm kokunikezwa kwemodemu kugcina ngaphakathi iminyaka eyisithuphaNgakho-ke i-Apple inesikhathi esiningi sokuqeda ukuklama imodem yayo ye-5G, iyikhiphe kancane kancane ebangeni lamadivayisi ayo.
