Kubukeka sengathi i-Apple ihlela ukwethula ukuphela okusha kwama-iPads ayo: the titanium. I-priori lo mbono muhle, ngoba i-titanium ilula futhi inamandla kune-aluminium evame ukusetshenziswa yinkampani ukufaka ikhebula le-iPads yayo.
Kepha ngibona izingqinamba ezimbili. A, inani. Uma i-Apple Watch encane inyusa intengo cishe ngama-300 Euro ekugcineni kwe-titanium ngokuqhathaniswa nemodeli efanayo ye-aluminium, angifuni ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi i-iPad enecala laleyo nto ingabiza malini. Futhi okwesibili, ngicabanga ukuthi isiphetho esingemuva ngokuvamile asibalulekile, ngoba iningi lethu lifaka ibhokisi lokuvikela kwi-iPad yethu entsha ngokushesha nje lapho siyikhipha ebhokisini.
Ngokusho shicilela I-DigiTimes, i-Apple isebenza ubusuku nemini ukwethula i-iPad entsha ungakapheli lo nyaka. Le modeli entsha izoba ne-chassis ye- i-aluminium alloy icutshungulwa yi-PVD. Imodeli yesizukulwane sesishiyagalolunye ngeke ibe nezinguquko eziningi ezibalulekile, kepha imithombo kulo mbiko ithi ukuthengiswa kwamayunithi angaba yizigidi ezingama-60 kulindeleke kulo nyaka.
Lo mbiko futhi uchaza nokuthi ingxubevange yamanje ye-aluminium ingashintshwa ekubuyekezweni okuzayo kwe-iPad. Le nkampani kuthiwa ifuna ukwethula i-chassis yensimbi okususelwa ku-titanium ezizukulwaneni ezizayo zama-iPads anamuhla.
Ngokungangabazeki, indlu ye-titanium inganikela ngezinzuzo eziningi, njengokukwenza kube nokwenzeka imiklamo emincane futhi elula ngenkathi kugcinwa ubuqotho besakhiwo sedivayisi. Kepha inkinga ilele ezindlekweni eziphezulu zokukhiqiza ngezinto ezinjalo.
Lokho kungenza intengo ye- iPad, futhi bekungeke kube kuhle kudivayisi. Ngakho-ke, akunangqondo ukuthi inkampani yethule imodeli "ngenketho" yokuqedwa kwe-titanium ukubona ukuthi imakethe izoyamukela kanjani. Kungaba yi-fiasco yokuthengisa, njengoba kwenzekile nge-titanium Apple Watch. Sizobona.
