UTim Cook (ngasekunene) uhleli ecaleni kukaMongameli onyulwe nguDonald Trump kunye noPeter Thiel kwingqungquthela yetekhnoloji kaTrump eNew York kwinyanga ephelileyo.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva kokuba umongameli osanda kunyulwa waseMelika, uDonald Trump, eqala ixesha lakhe, Senza uphononongo olufutshane lokuba olu hambo lutsha lungathetha ntoni kwinkampani yaseCalifornia, ibekwe ngokucacileyo ngokuchasene nayo ukusukela oko kwaqala iimviwo zeprayimari.
Ulawulo olutsha, oluza kuqala kwiintsuku ezimbalwa (emva kokuphela kwexesha lika-Obama kwiveki ephelileyo), ubhengeze inkcaso ngokuchasene neenkampani zesizwe ezinje ngeApple okanye Uphando njengenxalenye yesicwangciso sakhe sokuphumelela unyulo lelona lizwe linamandla ehlabathini. Ngokwesiqhelo, iApple ixhomekeke kuyo kunye neyona nto ikhuphisana nayo ephambili ukwenza okanye ukwaphula iimveliso zayo ezintsha unyaka nonyaka. Kodwa u-2017 uqala ngokukhubazeka okutsha: umongameli omtsha waseMelika, uDonald Trump.
U-Apple uzakuba no-2017 oxakekileyo: ii-iPhones ezintsha, mhlawumbi ii-iPads ezintsha, mhlawumbi ii-iMacs ezintsha, ezahlukeneyo zohlaziyo lweemveliso… Uya kufuna ukubuyela kwindlela yokukhula kwemali emva ko-2016 kubi kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe. Kwaye kulo nyaka uphelileyo, ingeniso yehle okokuqala ngqa ukusukela ngo-2001, kwaye ezinye iinjongo ezibekwe yinkampani yaseNyakatho Melika, esekwe eCupertino, azange zifezekiswe.
Kodwa i-Apple kulo nyaka iya kuba nesikhubekiso esitsha ekufuneka boyise. UDonald Trump uchasene nemigaqo-nkqubo emininzi egcinwe ngu-Apple namhlanjeNjengombono wakhe wokugcina ukuvelisa phesheya, umzekelo, into umongameli weRiphabhlikhi ayithandi kwaphela. Ngapha koko, kwangoko ngoJanuwari wonyaka ophelileyo, uTrump wabhengeza kwintetho:
"Sizakufumana iApple ukuba iqale ukwakha iikhompyuter zayo kunye nezinto kweli lizwe, endaweni yokuba siyenze kwamanye amazwe."
Mhlawumbi ikamva lenkampani yaseCalifornia kukwakha umzi-mveliso kwenye indawo eMelika, kunye nerhafu ekhethekileyo, kwaye ulibale ngamaqabane akho amancinci aphambili (Foxconn kunye nePegatron). UTrump uthethe neNew York Times ngombono wokuba ucebise uTim Cook, umphathi weApple wangoku, ukuba akhe "isityalo esikhulu eMelika" ukwenza izixhobo zekhredithi. Nangona kunjalo, sele sinesandulela kolu luvo nge Uphando, eyayizama ngo-2013 ukwenza isityalo sokwenza izixhobo zehardware ukusuka Motorola eTexas kwaye, emva konyaka, ivaliwe ngokungenakufikeleleka.
Nangona kunjalo, iApple sele iqalile kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ngalo mbono. Ukusukela ngo-2012, ezinye ii-iMac zenziwe kwimizi-mveliso yasekhaya, kwaye iiMac Pro ezintsha ngoku zenziwe eAustin, eTexas. Konke oku, ewe, kuya kuxhomekeka kwirhafu esekwe kwinqanaba ngalinye lenkqubo, kunye neerhafu zokwenza imveliso phesheya.
Kwakhona, kwinkampani eyenza imali eninzi njenge-Apple, Nakuphi na ukusika okwenziwa ngurhulumente weRiphabhlikhi kwirhafu yomdibaniso kuya kuba ziindaba ezilungileyo. UTim Cook uyayazi kwaye mhlawumbi ayizizo zonke izinto ezimbi ngoDonald Trump njengomongameli kurhulumente wenkampani yaseMntla Melika.
Ukukhula konyaka-ngaphezulu konyaka kwingeniso eveliswe yinkampani kwi-apile yokulunywa ikakhulu kungenxa yokwanda kwayo e-China. Hayi ngenxa yentengiso kwilizwe laseAsia, kodwa ngenxa yengeniso yemveliso eyenziweyo eyenziweyo apho. Ukunyusa iirhafu zamanye amazwe kunye / okanye ukonakalisa ubudlelwane ne China kungonakalisa kuphela wonke umsebenzi owenziweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Kwaye konke oku kunokubangela "isiphumo sokuphindaphinda": ukwala ilizwe laseAsia hayi iimveliso zeApple kuphela, kodwa kuyo nayiphi na imveliso evela eNyakatho Melika.
Njengoko sibona, urhwebo lweemfazwe kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yerhafu enokuthi ithande kakhulu okanye iphazamise iinjongo zonyaka zenye yezona nkampani zinamandla emhlabeni. Ukufika kwiintsuku ezimbalwa zomongameli omtsha onyuliweyo kuzisa, ukuba uyathandabuza, amathuba amatsha nemiqobo emitsha. Siza kubona ukuba yonke ingqungquthela yezemali yaseMelika iguquka njani kulo nyaka.
