Ukuba ulandela ibhlog, sele uyazi ukuba oko kwaqala ubhubhane, izixhobo zetekhnoloji zithengisiwe njengeehotcakes. Ngesi sizathu, i-Apple ihleli phezulu, ngelixa amawaka ezinye iinkampani zinexesha elibi kakhulu. Umsebenzi womnxeba wawufuneka nangona ngoku yonke into yenziwe ukubuya ngobuqu. Konke oku kuye kwaba nesiphumo kwaye kukuba iichips ziye zanqongophala kwaye yiyo loo nto ngoku, ejongene nesibonelelo esincinci kunye nemfuno enkulu, amaxabiso aya kunyuka. Ngoko ke, amaxabiso ezixhobo aya kunyuka.
Ezona zixhobo zidumileyo ze-Apple zinokubiza ngakumbi kulo nyaka uzayo, kwaye kuthiwa i-chipmaker TSMC iceba ukunyuka kwexabiso layo elikhulu kwisithuba esingaphezu kweminyaka elishumi. Umlinganiselo unokuchaphazela iinkampani ezinjengeNvidia kunye neQualcomm. Imithombo igxeka ukunyuka kwexabiso kwizinto ezininzi, kubandakanywa iindleko eziphezulu zezinto eziphathekayo kunye nokunqongophala okuqhubekayo kwe-chip, eziye zakhuthaza abathengisi abathile besixhobo ukuba bathenge amacandelo amaninzi kunokuba bafuna ngokwenene.
Ukuba ekuqaleni bekucingelwa ukuba kuphela iflegi ye-Apple, i-iPhone, eya kuchaphazeleka, akubonakali ngathi. Iya kuchaphazela zonke izixhobo. Ubuncinane yiloo nto fimithombo yaseAsia. "Ixabiso leetshiphusi, kunye nezixhobo zombane abazisebenzisayo, zisendleleni yokunyuka ngo-2022 njengoko i-chipmaker yekhontrakthi inkulu yehlabathi ijoyina abakhuphisanayo ekunyuseni izinga lemveliso."
Kodwa eyona ngxaki inkulu kukuba i-TSMC inamarhe okuba ilungiselela ukonyuka kwexabiso elikhulu kwiminyaka engaphezu kweshumi, kungekuphela nje ukuhlawula iindleko ezinyukayo zemveliso, kodwa nakwi-p.ukuthintela abathengi ukuba "babhukishe kabini" okanye baodole iitshiphusi ezininzi kunokuba bafuna ngokwenene. Ukubhukisha kabini sele kuyinto eqhelekileyo ngoku njengoko amanye amalungu kuba nzima ukuwafumana.
Ukuba sele kufuneka ugcine ngaphambili, ngoku kwixesha elifutshane, ngaphezulu kancinci.
