Ngokwamahlebezi, iTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, eyaziwa kangcono ngeTSMC, izobe iyiyona ezokhiqiza bonke abacubungula i-A10 abazofika ne-iPhone 7 ne-iPhone 7 Plus. Isizathu esikhulu kungaba ukuthi inkampani yaseTaiwan izoba nobuchwepheshe obudingekayo bokwenza amaprosesa ngenqubo ye-10nm, ngenkathi i-Samsung ikwazi ukuyikhiqiza kuphela kwinqubo ye-14nm. Kepha konke lokhu kungashintsha uma TSMC Ayikwazi ukulungisa wonke umonakalo owadaleka ekuzamazameni komhlaba ngoFebhuwari 6.
Ekuqaleni bekucatshangwa ukuthi lokhu kuzamazama komhlaba akubanga nomonakalo omkhulu. Manje, umbiko omusha uqinisekisa ukuthi i-TSMC ngeke ikwazi ukuhambisa ngekota yokuqala yonyaka wezi-2016. Ekuqaleni, inkampani yaseTaiwan yaqinisekisa ukuthi yi-1% kuphela yokuthunyelwa kweprosesa eyayizothinteka, kepha isivele yaqaphela ukuthi umonakalo izindawo zabo abazitholile wawumkhulu kakhulu.
Kepha izindaba ezinhle ukuthi umonakalo odalwe yimishini yeTSMC akunzima kakhulu ukulungisa: Yebo, ngeke bakwazi ukusebenza izinsuku ezimbalwa, kodwa kungekudala bazokwazi ukukwenza njengokujwayelekile. Vele, isikhathi abazobe bengenawo umkhiqizo sizodala ukuthi inkampani ingafinyeleli kulokho obekuhlosiwe kwezigidi ezingama-5.900-6.000 kwikota yokuqala yonyaka we-2016.
Uma ubheka ohlangothini olukhanyayo, uma ngabe ubunalo, ukuzamazama komhlaba kwenzeke ngesikhathi lapho kungashiwo ukuthi banomsebenzi olawulwa ngokuqhathaniswa. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ngenyanga nje kuphela kufanele bethule i-iPhone ne-iPad ezosebenzisa ama-processor we-A9 ne-AX9, kepha bebezoba nesikhathi esanele sokuhlinzeka ngesidingo sokuqala. Ukube ukuzamazama komhlaba kwenzeke ngo-Agasti, ukulahleka komnotho kwakungaba kubi kakhulu futhi ukutholakala kwe-iPhone 7 ne-iPhone 7 Plus kwakungabambezeleka amasonto ambalwa.
