Amalungelo obunikazi atholakala ku-Apple namahemuhemu aphakamisa ukuthi i-Apple isebenza ku-iPhone egoqekayo noma, okungenani, idivayisi egoqekayo njenge-iPad ngokusho kwamahemuhemu. Nokho, kubonakala kunjalo Iphrojekthi ye-iPhone egoqekayo imisiwe ngenxa yeqiniso elilula lokuthi ama-prototypes wezikrini ezigoqayo awenzi ekuhlolweni.
Ovela e-China, i-blogger enabalandeli abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.7, i-Fixed Focus Digital, iphawule okokuqala ukuthi I-prototypes yesikrini esigoqayo se-Apple ayidluli ezivivinyweni zekhwalithi ezinqunywe nguCupertino. Kungenxa yalesi sizathu esifanayo ukuthi "iphrojekthi ngabe imisiwe/ifakwe kungobo yomlando."
I-Apple isheshisa ucwaningo nokuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo enezikrini ezigoqekayo futhi ithenge izisetshenziswa ezimbalwa ezithengiswa ozakwethu ukuze ziphenye ngokuhlakazwa kwazo. Kodwa-ke, iphrojekthi kuthiwa imiswe okwesikhashana ngenxa yokuthi isibonisi sihlulekile ukuhlolwa.
Ngokokushicilela kule nyanga, Abahlinzeki abakhulu balezi zikrini yi-Samsung ne-LG futhi bebelokhu bethumela izibonelo zokugoqa izikrini ku-Apple izinyanga ezimbalwa. Ezokugcina ezithunyelwe zizoba phakathi kwamayintshi angu-7 no-8 ngosayizi ngakho-ke kuphakamisa ukuthi bagxile kakhulu ku-iPhone kune-iPad.
Nokho, Ngeke kunqunywe ukuthi i-Apple ibeka phambili i-iPad noma i-iPhone egoqekayo futhi singacabanga ngezinga elingakanani ukuthi enye yalezi zisetshenziswa izophuma ngale fomethi.
Ngokwami, uma bekufanele ngibheje nangenxa yendlela i-Apple ebe nayo eminyakeni edlule, Bazohlola izikrini zokugoqa ngokushesha kudivayisi engeyona i-iPhone, okungukuthi, i-Apple izokwethula i-iPad egoqekayo ngokushesha kune-iPhone. Ike yahlola obunye ubuchwepheshe ngaphambili kwamanye amadivaysi ngaphambi kokubathula ku-iPhone njengoba iwuphawu kanye nomthombo oyinhloko wemali engenayo. Babengeke bathathe ingozi enkulu kangaka bengazange bazame kuqala.
