Ngaphambi kokufika kwesibonisi sokuqhafaza esiza neWindows, i-interface yomsebenzisi kuma-PC ibisuselwa kumiyalo ye-DOS. Konke kwenziwa ngesandla ngokuthayipha imiyalo. Lapho uhlelo lokusebenza livumela ukwenziwa kwemisebenzi ehlukahlukene, onjiniyela badala i-interface yomsebenzisi eqhutshwa yimenyu eqoqe yonke imisebenzi ngokubuka okukodwa.
Lolu hlobo lwesixhumi esibonakalayo lusetshenziswe ikakhulukazi ngama-antivirus nabaphathi bamafayela, okuyi basivumele ukuthi sizulazule ngokushesha kuzo zonke izinkomba zesistimu ngaphandle kokuthi usebenzise imiyalo ye-CD «igama lesikhombi» ukuyifinyelela.
I-interface yokuqhafaza ithuthuke kakhulu eminyakeni edlule futhi njengamanje ayihlangene ngalutho naleyo minyaka. Kepha uma ubuphila kuleso sikhathi futhi ufuna ukukhumbula lokho kusebenzisana, okwamanje ungakwenza ngokusebenzisa i- Iwebhusayithi ye-AppStorio, esinikeza konke okuqukethwe esitolo se-Apple application.
Le webhusayithi, ngaphezu kokusinika lo mbono we-retro, isibonisa intengo yezinhlelo zokusebenza kanye nonyaka abafike ngayo esitolo sohlelo lokusebenza kusuka ku-Apple. Isinikeza futhi nethuba lokusesha ngezigaba ezahlukahlukene ezitholakala ku-App Store. Umsebenzi okuwukuphela kwawo ongatholakali okwamanje ukusesha kuwebhu noma ngama-alfabethi, kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kufanele ungeze le misebenzi.
Ngokuchofoza kuhlelo lokusebenza ngalunye, iwebhu isinikeza isithombe sayo, kanye nencazelo yohlelo lokusebenza futhi isixhumanisi sayo ukuvula ngokuzenzakalela i-App Store futhi singayilanda. Enye inketho yokusesha isitolo sohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Apple ngendlela ehluke ngokuphelele kunalokho esijwayele ukukwenza njengamanje.
