Ukushoda kwe-chip global kwabonakala njenge-utopia. Kwathiwa zonke izinkampani ezinkulu zinezitoko ezinqwabelene ngokwanele ukuze zingabi nenkinga uma kukhulunywa ngokwakha amadivayisi azo. Noma kunjalo nge Izindaba zeFoxconn nabanye abathengisi, izinto zaqala ukuba nzima. Manje kuyaziwa ukuthi i-Apple ingaba nayo izinkinga zokwenza amamodeli we-MacBook.
Okucacayo ukuthi kukhona ukukhiqizwa kwama-semiconductor womhlaba wonke kanye nokushoda kwesitoko njengamanje okuthinta zonke izinhlobo zezimboni. Cishe yonke i-hardware kulezi zinsuku incike ku-silicon ezingeni elithile. Imboni yezimoto ishaywa kanzima kakhulu, njengabakhiqizi nje azikwazi ukukhiqiza izimoto ezingaka njengoba kuhlelwe ngenkathi kulindwe ukutholakala kwengxenye.
Kepha izinkampani zezinsizakalo zobuchwepheshe nazo seziqala ukuhlupheka ngemiphumela yalesi somiso. Kuthiwa i-Apple ngeke ibe ngomunye wabathinteke kakhulu kulokhu kushoda futhi imibiko emisha basola ukuthi inkampani yama-apula izoqala ukuba nenkinga yokukhiqiza kwamanye amamodeli we-Mac. Izinhlobo zeMacBook kanye ne-iPad Pro.
Abathengisi beMacBook bazithola bebambeke ebhodleleni lokhiye: inqubo yokuhlanganisa izinto emabhodini wesifunda. Lezi zinkinga zisho lokho I-Apple iphoqeleke ukuthi ibambezele ukukhiqizwa "kwengxenye yama-oda wezinto" engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka, ngokusho kombiko oshiwo ngenhla futhi walungiswa nguNikkei. Lo mbhalo awusho ukuthi imaphi amamodeli we-iPad ne-MacBook ikakhulukazi athintekayo.
Lokhu kungasho ukuthi i-Apple kufanele ikhethe phakathi kwezinqumo ezimbili ezimbi zabasebenzisi bokugcina. I- ukubambezeleka ukulethwa kwalawa madivayisi noma ukwandisa amanani. Uma ukhetha owesibili, owokuqala maduze uzoqala futhi uthinte kabili kakhulu. Uma ukhetha owokuqala, kungathatha isikhathi ukuthi imakethe ilulame, abanye abathi kuzoba maphakathi no-2022.
