Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule i-Apple kumenyezelwe ngokumangala ukunqanyulwa kwe-HomePod yoqobo. Le divayisi enkulu ebone ukukhanya kosuku ngo-2017 ihlehlisiwe ngumfowabo omncane, i-HomePod mini. Isu elithandekayo elibheka amanani nezincazelo zezobuchwepheshe, kanye nentshisekelo yabasebenzisi kanye nomkhuba wemakethe wokukhiqiza izikhulumi ezihlakaniphile ezincintisanayo. Kodwa-ke, manje amazwi asondele ku-Apple aqinisekisa lokho eCupertino sebenza ngokuhlukahluka kwe-HomePod ngekhamera nesikrini sokuthinta ngesitayela esimsulwa se-Echo Show ye-Amazon noma i-Google's Nest Hub.
Isinyathelo esisodwa emuva sokudlulela phambili: i-HomePod enesikrini?
Yize kungahle kungabonakali ngathi ezinhlwini zangaphakathi ze-Apple kufanele kube nempikiswano yangaphakathi mayelana ukugxila kwenkampani kumasu ezimakethe ezihlakaniphile. Ezingeni lesoftware sinesicelo samadivayisi amaningi seCasa kanye nekhithi yokuthuthukisa yeKhayaKit. Kodwa-ke, ezingeni lehadiwe kuphela ama-HomePod akhona nezinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule kumenyezelwe ukuthi yi-HomePod mini kuphela ezoqhubeka nokukhiqizwa futhi kuthengiswe. Abaningi bathi lokhu kushoda kwecebo lokuhlanganisa emaphutheni omsizi wangempela weSiri, ngemuva kakhulu kwabanye abanjengo-Alexa noma umsizi weGoogle ngandlela thile.
Isimanga samnika UMark Gurman, omunye wama-Apple gurus adume kakhulu, owasho lokho eCupertino Amamodeli we-HomePod enesikrini sokuthinta nekhamera ayehlolwa. Ngale ndlela, singasuka ekubeni nesipikha esihlakaniphile siye esiteshini se-smart home automation esilawula isikhombimsebenzisi se-software futhi senze nezingcingo ze-FaceTime noma ezinye izinsiza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uGurman uthi awekho amathemba wokuqalisa wesikhashana.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ishicilele ubukhona bezinzwa zokushisa ezingasetshenziswanga nomswakama kwi-HomePod mini engasebenza ngokude ngezinguquko zesoftware. Okucacayo ukuthi i-Apple ibhekene nezinguquko emzamweni abawenzayo njengenkampani kwi-automation yasekhaya. Kungenzeka ukuthi bakhethe ukugxila kweminye imikhakha efana ne-motorsports noma iqiniso elingathandwa kwabathelisi esikubona futhi bakhetha ukutshala isikhathi nemali entweni abayibona isebenza kahle ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
