Kunesisho esithi inhlanzi enkulu njalo idla encane. Ukubuka iphrojekthi I-Apple Silicon, isisho siguqulwe sabhekiswa phansi. I-iPhone isidlile iMac.Akudingeki ukuthi uchaze umlando owaziwayo wokuzalwa kwenkampani nokuziphendukela kwayo, futhi ubone ukuthi ikuphi manje.
Ama-Macs ahlala elandela indlela yawo efanayo futhi ezimele ekuthuthukisweni nasekuguqukeni kwe-iPhone futhi kamuva kwabafowabo iPads. Kepha u-Apple uthathe isinqumo sokuthi isitimela sezimpahla zakwaMacs sizoshiya umzila waso ohamba kancane sijoyine umzila osheshayo wama-iPhones nama-iPads. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi sizobona ukuthi ngabe kube yiphutha le- shaya noma uphuthe.
Ngemuva kokuphothula ukwethulwa kwe-Keynote kwe-WWDC 2020 ngoMsombuluko owedlule, i-Apple ikhiphe i-beta yokuqala ye- IMacOS Big Sur, futhi abathuthukisi baswele isikhathi sokuyilanda bese beqala ukuyihlola.
Futhi lapho ushintsho lubaluleke kakhulu, kuhlala kukhona abathandi nabahlehlisi. Abathuthukisi abaningi bathumele ku-Twitter, kumabhulogi abo noma ku-YouTube ukungakhululeki kwabo begxeka ukwakhiwa okusha, kufana kakhulu nokwamanje I-iPadOS. Kubonakala sengathi i-Apple ibeka isisekelo sokuletha ukuxhaswa kokuthinta iMac kungekudala.
Abaningi baveze ukuthi izinto ze-MacOS Big Sur kubonakala sengathi zenzelwe ukufakwa kokuthinta. Ngisho nabanye bohlelo abake bakuzama esikrinini esincane ama-MacBooks banokuthambekela koku isikrini sokuthinta becabanga ukuthi basebenzisa i-iPad.
I-Apple ilethe ifayela le- isikhungo sokulawula kusuka ku-iOS kuye kwi-MacOS Big Sur. Idizayini yezilawuli ibukeka icishe ifane ne-iOS futhi akubonakali ukuthi ilungiselwe ukusetshenziswa kwegundane kanye nesikhombi sayo kumakhompyutha we-Mac. Inkampani seyivele ihlela ukwenza ama-chip ayo ngobuchwepheshe be-ARM kwi-Mac, ngakho-ke ungamangali uma i-Apple idala i-hybrid phakathi kwe-Mac ne-iPad.
Ngokushesha ngeke kube nomehluko phakathi kwe-iPad neMacBook
AmaMacs maduzane azokwazi kanjani ukusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-iOS ngemuva kokukhishwa kwama-Macs asuselwe ARM (I-Apple Silicon), lokhu kuhlanganiswa sekuvele kubonakala ngokubona i-beta ye-MacOS Big Sur.
Idokhu eMac iphinde yahlelwa kabusha ngesethi yezithonjana. Abasebenzisi abaningi bakhononde ngokwakhiwa kwalezi zithonjana ezintsha, noma kunjalo, iphini likamongameli we-Apple wobunjiniyela be-software, UCraig Federighi Usuvele ushilo ukuthi uyazi ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi ukuthi abasebenzisi bakujwayele.
Ku-Developer Transition Kit (DTK) ekhishwe yi-Apple, iza neMac mini eneprosesa I-A12Z Bionic, i-chip efanayo etholakala ku-iPad Pro. Ngalokho konke kusho. Njengoba i-iPad ne-Mac ziqala ukwaba ezinye izici ezifana nokuxhaswa kwegundane ku-iPad, ngeke kumangaze ukubona isikrini esithintwayo kuma-Macs azayo noma i-hybrid ye-iPad / Mac etholakalayo, ngokwesibonelo.
Iphrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon i-priori ibonakala ibheja okuyingozi kakhulu, enemiphumela engalindelekile esikhathini esimaphakathi nesikhathi eside. Le nkampani ichaze ukuthi kuzokhishwa amanye ama-Mac ambalwa ane-Intel chips, ngaphambi kokwenza ushintsho. Kepha futhi ikhiphe ikhithi yonjiniyela nge I-Mac mini ARM. Kuyaxaka, kuyaxaka.
Kepha yi-Apple, futhi noma yini ingenzeka. Nini Tim Cook ngethula i-Apple Watch yokuqala eminyakeni emihlanu eyedlule, bengingomunye walabo ababecabanga ukuthi kuzoba ukwehluleka. Iwashi ledijithali elingu- $ 500 elingenamsebenzi uma ungenayo i-iPhone ephaketheni lakho? Njengamanje, sekuthengiswe ama-Apple Watch angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-60. Ngakho-ke ngigcina umbono wami ku-Apple Silicon….
