I-Apple isanda kunika ilungelo lobunikazi inqubo ekhethekile yokwelapha ingaphezulu lezinto ze titanium, ngaleyo ndlela uthole isiphetho esikhethekile. Ngakho-ke akudingeki ukuthi ube ne-savvy kakhulu ukuze wazi ukuthi uCupertino wenzani.
Ngeke ngimangale uma ikusasa MacBook Pro izofaka isitokisi se-titanium. Uma iMacBook Air elandelayo ifaka iprosesa le-M1, kuzodingeka ukuhlinzeka iMacBook Pro ngeprosesa engcono kakhulu, noma kungenjalo, imininingwane ye- "Premium" enjenge-titanium casing, ukuze kutholakale umehluko wamanani….
Kuleli sonto i-Apple inikezwe entsha i-patent lapho kuchazwa inqubo entsha yezimboni yezinto ezenziwe nge-titanium enikeza izingcezu lezo isiphetho esikhethekile.
Leli patent linesihloko esithi "Izingxenye zeTitanium Ukuba Nenhlanganisela Engaphezulu Epholishiwe" futhi selinikezwe yi-US Patent and Trademark Office. Lichaza ukuthi amadivayisi ahlukahlukene angawamukela kanjani ama-titanium housings nge ukuthungwa okukhethekile
Ukuthungwa "okuthintekayo" kwe-titanium
Ngokwelashwa okuchazwe kwilungelo lobunikazi, ingxenye yengxenye ye-titanium ayinzima kangako.
Embhalweni, i-Apple ichaza ukuthi i-aluminium anodized, esetshenziswa kuma-MacBooks nama-iPads amanje, ayinzima noma iqine njenge-titanium. Kodwa-ke, ubulukhuni be-titanium benza kube "nzima kakhulu ukupholisha", okusho ukuthi kungaba "okungathandeki ngobuhle." I-patent ifuna ukwethula isixazululo sale nkinga ngokuchaza inqubo yokuxubha, eyokuthambisa neyamakhemikhali ukunikeza ucezu lwe-titanium ukubukeka okukhanga kakhulu.
I-patent iphinde ikhombise ukuthi lezi zingxenye ze-titanium ezenziwe ngombala zizoba yindawo yokuhlala MacBooks, iPads, iPhones nama-Apple Watches. I-Apple isebenzise amakesi we-titanium ngenani elincane lemikhiqizo, njengePowerBook G4 eyayitholakala kusuka ngo-2001 kuya ku-2003. .
Namuhla, ukuphela komkhiqizo we-Apple osebenzisa ikesi le-titanium yi- Uhlelo lwe-Apple Watch, ebonakala isondele kakhulu esiphethweni esikhethekile esichazwe ilungelo lobunikazi kune-titanium PowerBook G4. Uma begcina ngokuyisebenzisa, iMacBook ye-titanium ngokuqinisekile iyokhanya futhi ibe nzima kunalezi ze-aluminium yamanje.
Okubi ukuthi futhi kuzoba njalo más caro. Uma sibheka umehluko wentengo phakathi kwe-aluminium evamile ye-Apple Watch Series 6 ne-Apple Watch Series 6 Edition, ene-titanium encane edingekayo ukwenza icala le-Apple Watch, angifuni ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi iMacBook ibingathini kubiza i-Full Titanium 16 Inch Pro….
