Ngabe i-iOS 10 ingafakwa kuma-iPhone 4s? Futhi ku-iPhone 5?

Amatheminali abelokhu emakethe isikhathi eside kunazo zonke ngokuvamile yilawo kungekudala noma nini basala ngaphandle kokuxhaswa yinkampani. Kepha konke kuya ngomkhiqizi. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukusekelwa okwesabekayo okuhlinzekwa yibo bonke abakhiqizi be-Android kumadivayisi abo, ukusekelwa okuphela kwesinye isikhathi ngemuva konyaka wokuqala wokuphila kwesiguli.

Ngenhlanhla amadivayisi akhiqizwe yi-Apple, zisekelwa yi-Apple iminyaka embalwa, kuze kube ngumzuzu lapho izindaba nezidingo ezidingekayo ukuze umsebenzi ube uketshezi, ziphoqa inkampani ukuthi ibakhiphe emakethe, ibashiye bengekho ukuxhaswa.

I-iOS 7 bekunguqulo yokugcina ehambisana nomakadebona we-iPhone 4, ukuphela ngaleso sikhathi yayisetshenziswa kabanzi emazweni amaningi, ikakhulukazi emazweni asafufusa. Ukusebenza okujwayelekile kwale nguqulo ye-iOS bekungaqondakali, okuholele ekutheni sicabange ukuthi inguqulo yesishiyagalombili ye-iOS ngeke ihambisane nalesi siginali. Enkulumweni eyethulwe i-iOS 8, u-Apple ukuqinisekisile ukuthi i-iPhone 4 ayisekelwa futhi kuzofanele aphile zonke izinsuku nge-iOS 7.

Emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kokukhishwa kwe-iOS 9, amahemuhemu aphinde aqala ukusakazeka mayelana nokuthi kungenzeka lokho le nguqulo ye-iOS ibingasebenzisani ne-iPhone 4s, kusukela ezinhlotsheni zokuqala ze-iOS 8, i-terminal ibisibe yi-paperweight yangempela, njenge-iPad 2 ne-iPad Mini. Ngenhlanhla, ukubuyekezwa okwethulwa yinkampani kuthuthukise kakhulu ukusebenza kwenguqulo yesishiyagalombili ye-iOS.

Ukufika kwe-iOS 9, lapho ngokusho kwe-Apple bebegxile ekwenzeni ngcono ukusebenza nokusebenza kuma-terminals akudala kakhulu, kube ukukhululeka kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-iPhone 4s ne-iPad 2, ngoba ukusebenza kwakucishe kufane ngokwamanzi nokusetshenziswa kwawo, kunezinguqulo zakamuva ze-iOS 8.4.2, kepha konke kwabonakala kukhombisa ukuthi kuzoba uhlobo lokugcina lwe-iOS abazoluthola.

Lapho nje ukwethulwa kwazo zonke izindaba ze-iOS 10 sekuphela, inkampani esekwe eCupertino ikhombise uhlu lwawo wonke amatheminali angahambisana nenguqulo yeshumi ye-iOS 10 lapho singabona khona ukuthi i-iPhone 4s, i-iPad Mini, i-iPad 2 ne-3 kanye ne-5th generation iPod touch zishiywe ngaphandle komjikelezo wokuvuselela. Kepha emahoreni ambalwa kamuva, lapho i-Apple ithumela zonke izindaba nge-iOS 10 kuwebhusayithi yayo (inguqulo yaseMelika), sibona ukuthi inkampani ibiwafake kanjani amatheminali abelahliwe embhalweni ongukhiye.

Abathuthukisi babe ngabokuqala ukumemezela ukuthi ukufakwa kuhlu kuboniswa kuwebhusayithi Akuhambisananga negama eliyisihluthulelo ngemuva kokubheka ukuthi amatheminali amadala angavumeli kanjani ukufaka i-beta yokuqala ye-iOS 10. I-Apple iguqule ngokushesha uhlu lwamatheminali ahambisanayo ngokususa amatheminali engishilo ngenhla ku-equation. Ngakho-ke ama-iPhone 4 ekugcineni azosekelwa futhi ngeke athole i-iOS 10. Lokhu akusho ukuthi uma kutholakala iphutha elikhulu kwezokuphepha, i-Apple ngeke ikhiphe isibuyekezo ukuze ilungiswe, kodwa izoyeka ukuthola izinhlobo ezintsha zezinhlelo zokusebenza inkampani izokwethula ngokuzayo, kufaka phakathi i-iOS 10.

I-iPhone 5 ngokwengxenye yayo, ukuphela okudala okudala ohlwini ngesikhathi emakethe, kodwa ngehadiwe efanayo ne-iPhone 5c eyaphuma ngonyaka olandelayo, kuzoqhubeka nokuthola izinhlelo ezintsha zokusebenza okungenani iminyaka embalwa, umjikelezo owalandelwa yinkampani uyaqhubeka, ushiya amatheminali angomakadebona ngaphandle kokuxhaswa njalo eminyakeni emibili. Ikakhulu idivaysi yami yokuhlola ama-betas iyi-iPhone 5, futhi kufanele ngivume ukuthi ukusebenza kwe-beta yokuqala kuketshezi kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nama-betas okuqala ayethulwe yinkampani ye-iOS 9, okuphakamisa ukuthi inkampani empeleni usebenze ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza nokushelela kumatheminali amadala, yize iqiniso lokuthi izinto ezintsha eziningi ezizovela esandleni se-iOS 10 ngeke zitholakale ngenxa yemikhawulo enengqondo yehardware yakudala.
