NgoSepthemba 12, 2017, u-Apple wethule i-iPhone 8 entsha ne-iPhone X embhalweni wayo oyinhloko.Ngaphezu kwalokho, uTim Cook washaya itafula futhi wethula isisekelo sokushaja okungenantambo kwe-Big Apple esibhabhadiswe ngegama lika AirPower. Isizinda sokushaja sasizokwethulwa ekuqaleni kuka-2018. NgoMashi 2019, iphrojekthi ikhanseliwe futhi i-Apple yanquma ukushiya lo mfanekiso. Kodwa-ke, uJon Prosser, umhloli wezindaba owaziwayo, uthumele uchungechunge lwezithombe ezibonisa i-AirPower engasebenza ngokugcwele kungasho ukuthini lokho i-apula elikhulu lingaqhubeka lisebenze endaweni yalo yokushaja, izinyanga ngemuva kokukhanselwa kwayo okucacile.
Ngabe sizobona isisekelo sokushaja se-AirPower ngo-2020?
Impikiswano ezungeze uhlobo lwe-AirPower ibilokhu futhi izoba ngenye yezinto ezingaziwa kakhulu kwi-Big Apple. Kodwa-ke, kucatshangelwa ukuthi i-Apple kungenzeka ukuthi ikhansele idokhu yokushaja. ngenxa yezinkinga ezihlobene nokushisa ngokweqile Kwedivayisi. Lokhu kunengqondo ngoba isisekelo sokushaja sasiyinkimbinkimbi ikakhulukazi ngoba sasifaka amakhoyili amaningi (esikhundleni sekhoyili eyodwa njengezisekelo eziningi zokushaja). Lokhu kuvumele ukushaja noma iyiphi idivayisi ngaphandle kokuma kwayo. Kepha kuyo yonke le nqubo bahlangabezana nesithiyo: ukushaja i-Apple Watch kudinga amandla amaningi, lokho bekuzodala izingqinamba zokushisa eziholele ekukhanselweni komkhiqizo.
Hhayi-ke, benifuna isithombe esingcono se-“C68”… 😏
Khumbula ukuthi ngithe inkinga enkulu ukuthi ama-prototypes amanje awasekeli i-Apple Watch?
Yebo.
Kahle.Benze iWatch isebenza… 👀 pic.twitter.com/LvBeNAAtt3

Ngo-Ephreli walo nyaka, eboshwe ngokugcwele yi-COVID-19, uJon Prosser washicilela imininingwane ngohlobo oluthile olubiziwe "C68". Lo msebenzisi owaziwayo emhlabeni wokuvuza uthe iqembu elibizwa nge- "Sharing and Proximity" elivela kwa-Apple belisebenza ngalolu hlobo. Ngokuqondile ekuxhumaneni kwesoftware phakathi kwamadivayisi anedivayisi efanayo (okucatshangwa ukuthi yi-C68) ngaphakathi okungaba ne-chip ye-A11. Lokhu kuzovumela phatha ukushisa ngamandla, kususwe inkinga yesibonelo sangaphambilini se-AirPower.
Emizuzwini embalwa edlule, uJon Prosser ubethumela izithombe ezisezingeni eliphakeme zalokho esikwazile izinyanga njengesibonelo seC68. Ezithombeni sibona isisekelo sokushaja sixhunywe esitolo lapho zifakwa khona i-Apple Watch ne-AirPods Pro. Emfanekisweni wesibili sihamba ngempumelelo ziyalayishwa ngasikhathi sinye. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi i-Apple ayeke ukusebenza ku-AirPower? Ngabe sizobona idokhu yokushaja yakwa-Apple eWWDC?
