"Besihlala njalo sihlonipha kakhulu abomthetho futhi sisebenza ngokubambisana nohulumeni ezindaweni eziningi, kodwa kulokhu asivumelani [...] Ukubethela okubuthakathaka kubeka engcupheni ubumfihlo babantu abasebenzisa uhlelo nemininingwane. ubuchwepheshe ngendlela eyiyo, ekugcineni bunomthelela omubi emalungelweni ethu kuboniswe kuSichibiyelo Sokuqala kubukela phansi imigomo yokusungulwa kwezwe lethu, "kusho isikhulu sakwa-Apple.

Sicabanga ukuthi ikhasimende kufanele lilawule imininingwane yalo […] Lezi zinsizakalo ezibizwa ngamahhala zingadonsa amehlo, kodwa angicabangi ukuthi kufanelekile ukuba ne-imeyili yabo, umlando wabo wokusesha futhi manje nezithombe zabo futhi ithengiselwe izulu iyazi ukuthi yini inhloso yokukhangisa. Sikholwa ngokuqinile ukuthi ngelinye ilanga amakhasimende azothola ukuthi lokhu kusebenza kanjani.
Iphuzu lokugcina libukeka njenge- impendulo eqondile ezithombeni ze-Google, isevisi yesitoreji esingenamkhawulo esithengiselwe umsebenzisi mahhala njengokumenyezelwa ngesonto eledlule kwaGoogle I / O.
