Ukuqala ibhizinisi ekuqaleni akukaze kube lula. I-Apple ekuqaleni kwayo ibe nezingxabano ezingaphezu kwesisodwa ne-Microsoft ngokusetshenziswa kwesikhombimsebenzisi sokuqhafaza obekucatshangwa ukuthi basungulwe yilaba ababili. Eminyakeni edlule uJobe wacela usizo lweMicrosoft ukuzama ukuvula kabusha i-Apple ngemuva kokubuyela kwakhe emkhankasweni, usizo lwezezimali uBill Gates alenelisa ngaphandle kwezinkinga. I-Samsung ingenye inkampani eyisibonelo imbangi yakhe agcina esebenza ngayo njalo ukukhiqiza izinto ezahlukahlukene ezakha i-iPhone, i-iPad ne-iPod Touch.
I-IBM yayingenye yezitha ezibabayo ze-Apple eqinile esikhathini esedlule. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule basayine umfelandawonye wokusebenzisana kumaphrojekthi ahlukene akhiqize izicelo ezithile zensimu yobungcweti futhi engahloselwe umphakathi jikelele. Izindaba zakamuva ezihlobene nalokhu kubambisana ukuthi inkampani ye-IBM izosebenzisa ulimi lohlelo lwenkampani esekwe eCupertino, iyivumele ukuthi isebenze ngqo kusuka efwini. Ngakho-ke I-Apple ifuna ukwenza lula inqubo yokuthuthukiswa kwesicelo sokuphela kokuphela futhi lokho kuzovumela ukuthuthukisa izinhlelo zomdabu eSwift. Ngokusho kwe-IBM, ukusebenzisa amaseva ayo kuzosusa izithiyo zokukhulisa phambili nasemuva.
I-IBM izohlinzeka ngezindlela ezintathu kubathuthukisi ukusebenzisa i-Swift efwini: Ukuhlolwa ku-Swift Sandbox, Thuthukisa futhi Uphakele, futhi Yabelana Ngezinsizakusebenza ze-Swift. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenxa yeSwift Server, i-IBM izovumela abathuthukisi ukuthi babe nethuluzi lokusebenza elilula futhi baphendukele ekudaleni izinhlelo zokuphela kokuphela. Okwamanje ukusebenzisana phakathi kwalezi zinkampani zombili kunikeza imiphumela emihle kakhulu kuzo zombili izinhlangothi, futhi kuzothathwa ngokuthi lokhu kusebenzisana kuzoqhubeka nokusebenza inqobo nje uma amafemu womabili ethola izinzuzo ebudlelwaneni.
