Kulo nyaka, i-Apple yethule ibhalansi yekota ebingowokuqala ukubika ukwehla kokuthengiswa kwe-iPhone kusukela ngo-2007, unyaka wokwethulwa kwesizukulwane sokuqala se-apula smartphone. Abahlaziyi bebengenathemba elikhulu ngokwethulwa kwe-iPhone 7, kepha bonke abathengisi abanokuthintana ne-Apple yakamuva ye-Apple bakhombisa ukuthi abathengisi benza kangcono kunalokho obekulindelekile. Inkampani yokugcina ku- iphakamise bekulokhu TSMC, ukuphela komkhiqizi we Iprosesa ye-A10 Fusion kwe-iPhone 7.
I-TSMC bekufanele ilwe nezinyo nezipikili ukuze kube yiyo kuphela ehlinzeka ngale ngxenye. Ngo-2015, iTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company yakhiqiza uhhafu wama-processor we-A9, kanti iSamsung yakhiqiza enye ingxenye. Manje, njengoba i-iPhone 7 isivele ithengisiwe, kukhonjisiwe ukuthi umzamo wawukufanele: I-TSMC yethule ibhalansi nabanye rekhoda inzuzo enkampanini yaseTaiwan, ikakhulukazi ngenxa ye-A10 Fusion ye-iPhone 7.
I-TSMC ukuphela komkhiqizi we-A10 Fusion
I-TSMC ayinikanga imininingwane eminingi, kepha ithe ilindele ukuthi i- ukukhula kwenzuzo phakathi kuka-11-12%, okudlula kude u-5-10% obuhlelwe ekuqaleni. Uma kuqhathaniswa nekota yesithathu, inkampani ithole ukwanda okungu-23% ukufinyelela inzuzo ephelele engama-260.400 billion TWD (cishe ama-Euro ayizigidi ezingama-7.455).
Le mininingwane ye-TSMC ingeziwe kuleyo opharetha kusuka e-United States, naye bathi bashaya irekhodi ukuthengiswa kwe-iPhone ekwethulweni kwayo. I-Apple ayizange inikeze noma inikeze idatha yokuthengisa ngempelasonto yokwethulwa, ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi kuzofanele silinde kuze kube nguJanuwari ukuthi sazi ukuthi irekhodi liphuliwe noma cha.
Abahlaziyi bathi i-iPhone 7 izothengisa kakhulu noma ngaphansi njenge-iPhone 6, i-iPhone okwamanje ephethe ukuthengiswa kwamarekhodi we-Apple okwephula amarekhodi. Kunoma ikuphi, kubonakala kunjalo izinto azihambanga kabi kangako njengoba bekulindelekile.
