Sekungokwesithathu kusukela ngoSepthemba odlule ukuthi I-United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ithola imininingwane ngomkhiqizo entuthuko evela ku-Apple. Vuliwe Soy de Mac siyashicilela okunye ukuxhumana okwenziwe yi-Apple kwiKhomishini.
Esikwaziyo kuze kube manje ukuthi iyi- umkhiqizo omusha. Ngingaba ne- usayizi ofana ne-Apple TV 4 (i-Apple TV yamanje). Ngabe kwenzekile NFC futhi Bluetooth, kodwa hhayi i-Wi-Fi futhi kuze kube manje sazi amagama amabili okuqanjwa: A1844 no-A1846. I-Apple nje ibizokwazisa ikhomishini imodeli ephakathi kwalezi ezimbili ezedlule, i- A1845.
Uhlobo lwesithathu olwaziwa emahoreni ambalwa adlule, luphathelene nokuhlolwa kokuvezwa kwe-RF, kanye nalawo ahlobene nokusetshenziswa kwamandla aphansi kwe-Bluetooth noma ukusebenza kwe-NFC Chip. Mayelana nezinsuku, imibhalo yethulwa kule nkampani ngoJanuwari 25 kanti imininingwane yaziwa ngoFebhuwari 10. Imininingwane efakiwe igcinwa iyimfihlo isikhathi esiyizinsuku eziyi-180. Ngakho-ke, ngemuva komnqamulajuqu, izici ezifihliwe kuze kube manje zizokwaziswa emphakathini, kufaka phakathi izithombe zangaphakathi nezangaphandle zedivayisi. Kwesinye isikhathi, asikho isikhathi sokuyimaketha ngakho-ke umkhiqizo uyaziwa ngaphambi kokuthi ungene emakethe.
Ngokuqondene nezinto ezintsha, lezi aziziningi, ngoba imininingwane ye imininingwane eshicilelwe iya ngokuya incipha. Lokhu kwenziwa ngenhloso ukugcina ukwakheka nokusebenza komkhiqizo ngangokunokwenzeka.
Umkhiqizo ubuzodonsa i-100 mA, enamanani aphezulu we-700 mA, naphakathi kuka-5,5 V no-13,2 V. Ukuqhathanisa kokuqala kwenziwa ne-Apple TV, kepha ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi kubonakala kungavumi. Izintambo ziyafana kumamodeli amathathu aveziwe Kuze kube manje.
Yonke into ibonakala ikhombisa ukuthi iyithuluzi elimile lasekhaya. Usuku lokwethula luzoba yi-2017 efanayo, ngoba ezinsukwini ezimbalwa idatha yedivayisi, kuze kube manje ifihliwe, izokwaziswa umphakathi, okuzophoqa ngandlela thile ukwethulwa komkhiqizo emphakathini jikelele.
