Namuhla i-Apple yethule ilungelo lobunikazi elisha elihlobene nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi bazobeka emakethe, kungekudala, abanye ama-headphone angenantambo. Kulokhu ilungelo lobunikazi likhomba ku imodeli yamahedfoni angashintsha phakathi kwentambo iye kwi-wireless ngokushesha futhi kalula.
Kodwa-ke, lokhu bekungeke kube yinto entsha futhi sekuvele kukhona amahedfoni avela kweminye imikhiqizo angasetshenziswa ngekhebuli noma ngaphandle kwekhebula ngokusho komsebenzisi wokugcina. Manje, lolu hlobo lwamahedfoni lunezithiyo eziningana futhi lokho, ngokwesibonelo, uma usuka ezintanjeni uye kwi-wireless kukhona amadivayisi e-bluetooth angaluboni ngokuzenzakalela lolu shintsho futhi umsebenzisi kumele awaxhumanise futhi.
Lokhu kungaba enye yezinto ezintsha i-Apple efuna ukuzixazulula ngale patent nokuthi labo abavela eCupertino bafuna ukuthi lapho ama-headphone anentambo aphendulwa izintambo ngokunqamula ikhebuli, zitholwa amadivayisi ngokuzenzakalela bese ziqala ukusebenza ngaphandle kokuthi umsebenzisi athathe noma yisiphi isenzo.
Ukuze wenze lokhu, i-patent ikhuluma ngohlobo lwamakhodi ahlukile futhi azenzekelayo akhiqizwa kudivayisi lapho ithola ukuthi ikhebuli linqanyuliwe.
Ukuphazamiseka kwesibili kwalolu hlelo futhi i-Apple efuna ukuyixazulula ukuthi lapho amahedfoni ethola ukunqanyulwa kwekhebula kunesikhathi sokushintsha kwimodi yokusebenza futhi ngaleso sikhathi umsindo uphazamisekile. I-Apple ifuna ukuthi ushintsho kumodi yokusebenza lungabonakali.
Ekugcineni, ilungelo lobunikazi liyachaza ikhebula elilodwa linganikeza kanjani isignali yomsindo namandla, okuvumela ukuthi ama-headphone akhokhiswe kusuka kwenye idivayisi. Sizobona ukuthi ngabe le patent iyasetshenziswa kuma-headphone amasha nokuthi bayakubona ukukhanya kungekudala.
