Ukwehluleka okusolwayo kwe-HomePod, noma ukuthi ungazithola kanjani izindaba zingazelele

Akuyona into entsha, ukude nayo. Funda ngemuva kokwethulwa okusha komkhiqizo Izindaba ezimayelana nokuhluleka kokuthengisa noma izinkinga zokukhiqiza zifana ne-Apple njenge-apula yelogo yakho. Futhi kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi kube ngenye indlela, kuvele kwenzeka ngePod Home.

Ngokusekelwe ku ukulinganiselwa okubuthakathaka kokuthengiswa kwe-inthanethi okuvela kwaSlice Intelligence nasemibuzweni okusolwa ngayo kubasebenzi bakwa-Apple Stores, UGurman udonsa iziphetho eziningi ezingabambeki, futhi manje uMing-Chi Kuo wethula ezinye izibikezelo eziyinhlekelele esingazi ukuthi uzithathaphi, ekhuluma ngokuthi i-Apple icubungula imodeli entsha eshibhile. UKuo noGurman babambene ngezandla, kuyinto eyenzeka kakhulu muva nje.

Umsuka wezindaba

Konke lokhu kuqhamuka kwizilinganiso zeSlice Intelligence enanelwe nguMark Gurman ku Bloomberg. "I-Apple Ikhubeka Nge-HomePod Futhi Ayitholi Umthengisi Ohamba Phambili Engangikulindele". Isihloko esikhulu besingacaci futhi siqonde ngokwengeziwe ekumemezeleni ukwehluleka okunzima kokuthengiswa kwe-HomePod, okuyi ngokusho kukaGurman kule ndatshana, "ihlangana emashalofini e-Apple Store". Kepha luthini ucwaningo lweSlice Intelligence lapho indaba kaGurman isekelwe khona?

ISlice Intelligence ikhiphe umbiko lapho ilinganisela ukuthengiswa kwe-HomePod ngokuya ngamarisidi okuthengisa akwi-inthanethi. Ekuqaleni, lokhu kuthengisa bekukuhle, kubalwa ingxenye yesithathu yokuthengiswa kwezipikha ezihlakaniphile e-United States. Kuyamangaza ukuthi i-HomePod esigabeni sokuqala ingagcinwa ku-inthanethi kuphela, ihambisane nalezi zibalo ezinhle zokuthengisa ezilinganisiwe okuthi, njengoba ziyi-100% online, umuntu angacabanga ukuthi izilinganiso zilungile.

Lapho nje ukuthengiswa kwe-HomePod kungenziwa ezitolo ezibonakalayo, ukulinganisa kwe-Slice Intelligence sekuvele sekuqala ukubukeka kuyinhlekelele njengoba kusho izindaba zikaGurman. Njengoba sisho, yizilinganiso ezisuselwa kumarisidi okuthengwa ku-inthanethi, ngakho-ke noma iyiphi i-HomePod ethengwa ku-Apple Store, Best Buy kanye nohlu olude lwezitolo e-United States, United Kingdom nase-Australia ezinayo, ngeke ivele lezo zilinganiso zokuthengisa eziku-inthanethi. Kunezitolo ezingama-Apple ezingama-270 e-United States, ezingama-38 e-United Kingdom nezingu-22 e-Australia, okumele zengezwe kuzo ezinye izitolo ezingamakhulu kulawo mazwe anganakiwe ngokuphelele kulolo cwaningo lweSlice Intelligence.

Ukuzama ukweseka ezinye izindaba zakhe, uGurman uthi ubuze abanye abasebenzi be-Apple Store abamtshele ukuthi abathengisi cishe ama-HomePods ayishumi ngosuku, nokuthi bayaqongelela ezitolo. Le ngxenye yezindaba zakho iwukubonakaliswa okuthembekile kwesisekelo esibuthakathaka esisekelayo, ngizama ukugcwalisa ukuntuleka kwedatha ekuthengisweni kwezitolo ezingokwenyama nge- "Ngibuze abanye abasebenzi be-Apple Store." Ku-Apple Store engama-270 e-United States? Futhi kusuka e-UK nase-Australia? Izikhulumi eziyishumi ngosuku kuzo zonke? Ungazihluphi ngokufuna lolu lwazi ku-athikili yokuqala, ngoba aluveli.

Imiyalo ye-Apple kubakhiqizi

Umthombo ovame ukucashunwa lapho ukhuluma ngokuthengiswa okungekuhle kwanoma yimuphi umkhiqizo we-Apple yimiyalo kubakhiqizi bayo. Uma ama-HomePod enqwabelana emashalofini ngoba awathengiswa, i-Apple imane i-oda okumbalwa kubakhiqizi bayo. Kepha ngokuvamile ukuhumusha kwenzeka njalo emuva. Uma i-Apple inciphisa ama-oda wokuboniswa kwe-Apple Watch, ithengisa kabi, uma inciphisa ama-oda we-HomePod, kuzoba ngoba ithengisa kabi.

Lokhu kungaba yisibonakaliso sangempela sokuthengisa inqobo nje uma kwenziwa emhlabeni wonke kubo bonke abenzi, kepha kulokhu bekungenjalo. I-Apple inciphise ama-oda ku-Inventec, omunye wabakhiqizi bezikhulisa-zwi, kepha ayisho (ngoba ayazi, kusobala) noma yini ngomunye umkhiqizi, uFoxconn. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi izindaba ezimayelana ne-Inventec ziyiqiniso, incazelo ingahluka kakhulu kulokho okulindelekile. Kungenzeka ukuthi abakhiqizi abaningi baqala ukudlala, kungenzeka ukuthi i-Apple isiphambukise ama-oda amaningi aya kuFoxconn (omunye wabakhiqizi) ngoba inamandla amakhulu, noma ngoba imikhiqizo isiphelile kangcono, noma kungenzeka ukuthi iqongelele ubuningi ngemuva kokukhiqizwa kokuqala okuningi amayunithi ukwenza ukuphonsa okukhulu.

Amathuba angachaza lokhu kwehliswa kwama-oda maningi, futhi ngokusobala afaka iqiniso lokuthi ukuthengisa akulindelekile, kepha ukucabanga ukuthi kunjalo, kuyiphutha obekufanele ngabe noma ngubani ongumhlaziyi akugweme zisuka. Futhi lapha sifika kwesinye isihloko, bekuyini ukuthengisa okulindelekile?

Yikuphi ukuthengisa okwakulindelwe yi-Apple?

Yilapho esikhumbula khona "imithombo yangaphakathi" kaGurman. Kukhulunywa kaningi ukuthi ukuthengisa akulindelwe yi-Apple, kepha akunasikhathi lapho kuthiwa leso siphetho sithathwa khona. Uma sifunda i-athikili yokuqala, lokhu kulandela kuphela ukwehliswa kwama-oda aye ku-Inventec, kepha sesivele sikhulume ngalesi sihloko ngaphambili nje.

Kuhlala kukhulunywa "ngokuthengisa okudumazayo" komkhiqizo ngamunye we-Apple.. Okuwukuphela kokuhlukile eminyakeni yamuva kube yi-AirPods, umkhiqizo othathe umzuzu wokuqala ukhanga abathengi futhi othengise abaningi i-Apple ekwazile ukuwenza ngalesi sikhathi. Eqinisweni, izikhathi zokulinda esitolo se-Apple esise-inthanethi ziseyiviki elilodwa, into engajwayelekile ngomkhiqizo omude kangaka kukhathalogi.

Akukho okungcono kunokujika emlandweni ukuze ubone okwenzekayo namuhla ngombono omkhulu. Ukubuyela emuva ngoJulayi 2015, i-Apple Watch ibisemakethe izinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela kanye no-Slice Intelligence, ongumlingisi ofanayo wezindaba esibhekene nazo namuhla, uqinisekisa ukuthi ngokwezibalo zakhe ukuthengiswa kwe-Apple Watch kwehluleka ngemuva kokuqala okuhle kakhulu. Lokhu kubonakala kule ndatshana I-MarketWatch, Okubonakala kulandelwe ngokuphelele kulokho okushicilelwe ngo-2018 mayelana ne-HomePod. Amaphutha afanayo avela ezilinganisweni ze-HomePod enziwa nalawo e-Apple Watch, lapho kubhekwa kuphela ukuthengiswa kwe-inthanethi nokungazinaki izimakethe ezifana ne-United Kingdom, Germany, Australia noma Canada.

Kude nomkhiqizo ophelele

Masibhekane nakho: i-HomePod ayiwona umkhiqizo omuhle. Asikwazi ngisho nokusho ukuthi umkhiqizo ophelile. Ubufakazi obuhamba phambili balokhu ukuthi i-Apple isazoyethula ngaphezu kwamazwe amathathu emhlabeni jikelele. Ikhwalithi yakhe enkulu yomculo ayihambelani "nobukrelekrele" bakhe obuningi, ngeSiri engakwazi ngisho ukwedlula leyo esingayisebenzisa ku-iPhone, futhi nangesiNgisi kuphela. Impela lesi yisona sizathu esenza ukwethulwa kube nokukhawulelwa kangaka, futhi kulo nyaka wonke sizobona ukuthuthuka abazokufaka, iMultiRoom ethenjisiwe kanye nokukwazi ukusebenzisa ama-HomePod amabili njengezipika zestiriyo kanye nezilimi ezintsha imisebenzi emikhulu yeSiri.

Abakwa-Apple bafuna ukwethula umkhiqizo ungakaqedi ngoba abatshalizimali nezimakethe bebewufuna ngenkani, iGoogle neAmazon begcwalisa izindlu ngezinhlobo zabo. Kepha wazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi kuningi okusamele akuthuthukise, yingakho kungenasisekelo sokuthi ukuthengisa "kuyadumaza i-Apple", ngoba I-Apple uqobo iyakwazi ukulinganiselwa komkhiqizo wayo nokuthi iseyinde indlela okusamele ihambe. Kwenzeka nge-Apple Watch, manje okungekho noyedwa ongabaza impumelelo yayo, futhi kuzokwenzeka nganoma yimuphi umkhiqizo omusha ozokwethulwa yi-Apple eminyakeni embalwa ezayo.
