Njengoba kushicilelwe yi-United States Patent kanye neHhovisi Lomkhiqizo namuhla I-Apple ifake isicelo selungelo lobunikazi elisha ledivayisi ye-elekthronikhi ezosebenza njengesisekeli sama-iPhones asemakethe namuhla.
I-patent iyachaza i-iPhone ingasetshenziswa kanjani njenge-TrackPad yamakhompyutha we-MacBook enkampani ezayo. Umqondo awutholakali kude uma ubheka iqiniso lokuthi namuhla, ama-MacBook Pros amasha andise usayizi we-trackPad ayisebenzisayo, ayenza ifane kakhulu nosayizi wamanje we-7-inch iPhone 5.5 Plus.
Ngokuqondile, kunenkulumo ye- isesekeli esibizwa ngokuthi "mncane" (mncane ngeSpanishi) okubonakala sengathi sime ngendlela efanayo neMacBook, nomzimba we-aluminium unibody njenge "ndawo ebiyelwe" lapho singafaka khona i-iPhone yethu ukuyinamathisela sengathi iyiTrackPad yekhompyutha yethu.
Le nsiza ibizoba nayo konke okudingayo ukuze usebenze njengekhompyutha ejwayelekile (isikrini, ikhibhodi ephathekayo, i-GPU, amachweba, njll ...). Njenge-CPU, kungaba yi-iPhone engenza lowo msebenzi. Kukhona ukukhuluma ukuthi ngisho nendawo lapho singafaka khona i-iPhone inesixhumi se-Lightning noma uhlobo oluthile lwesixhumi esihlakaniphile.
Sizobe sikhuluma nge-a "I-TrackPad entsha", engasivumela ukuthi sibe nezici esingenazo njengamanje, njenge-Force Touch noma impendulo ye-haptic. Isesekeli, yebo, besinganikwa amandla ngokuphelele futhi sinikwe amandla yi-iOS.
Ngokusobala, isesekeli uqobo sizoba ne-GPU yangaphakathi yokusiza uma i-iPhone isebenza njengeTrackPad futhi isingatha ikhompyutha uqobo, ukulawula nokuba namandla amaningi ekubonisweni kwemifanekiso okungavela esikrinini esikhulu sezinsiza uqobo.
Yize ilungelo lobunikazi lifakiwe namuhla, Lolu hlelo lokusebenza lwama-laptops akwa-Apple lwahanjiswa okokuqala ngoSepthemba 2016 futhi unjiniyela wezikweletu uBrett W. Degner njengomsunguli wayo.
Namuhla, kuningi izicelo zokuguqula, ngendlela engathandeki, i-iPhone yethu ibe yi-TrackPad ejwayelekile. Noma kungekho sicelo esenza umsebenzi waso ngokuphelele, lesi sixazululo esiphakanyiswe yi-Apple sizosebenza kangcono kakhulu.
