Kusukela yethulwa e-Australia, abafana baseCupertino bebengakaze bacabange ukuthi bazoba nenkinga engaka yokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe babo bokukhokha ngogesi ezweni. Amabhange asazimisele ukuthi i-Apple ibanikeza ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC ye-iPhone ukuze bayisebenzise ngezinhlelo zabo zokusebenza, okusobala I-Apple ayizimisele, ngoba ngeke ithole i-euro kulesi sivumelwano. Isizathu sokufuna ukufinyelela kule chip ku-iPhone sikhuthazekile ngoba ngokwamabhange, ikhomishini etholwa yi-Apple ngokuthengiselana ngakunye iphezulu kakhulu, ikhomishini efanayo cishe emhlabeni wonke.
Ukuzama ukuphoqa i-Apple ukuthi idedele ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC, amabhange acela inkantolo yezokuncintisana yezwe imvume yokuthi bakwazi ukuhlala phansi baxoxisane ne-Apple ukucela lokhu kufinyelela.isicelo esinqatshiwe. Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, ibavimbile futhi ekwenzeni imikhankaso yokuduba le nkampani ngenxa yalokhu kwenqaba. Amabhange abefake isicelo semvume yilena
La mabhange ase-Australia ayecele i-ACCC ukuthi ibanikeze igunya lokuthi bakwazi ukuxoxisana ngokuhlanganyela ne-Apple finyelela ku-chip ye-NFC esetshenziswe kusuka ku-iPhone 6. Lokhu bekungavumela amabhange ukuthi akhe uhlelo lwawo lokukhokha lweselula, uhlelo lokukhokha oluzoncintisana ngqo ne-Apple Pay. Amabhange athi lesi silinganiso sizohlomulisa abathengi, obekuvele kuzokwandisa ukuncintisana phakathi kwamabhange, okuzovumela ukunikela ngezinketho eziningi kubathengi, ngaphezu kokuba wutshalomali emisha.
I-ACCC iyavuma ukuthi amabhange angacela ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC ye-iPhone, njengoba ukwandisa ukuncintisana ukuze kuzuze abathengi emkhakheni wezinkokhelo ezingomahamba nendlwana kodwa wona lokho kungaholela ekuhlanekezelweni nokwehliswa komncintiswano. I-Apple ibilokhu isho njalo ukuthi ukunika ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC kubeka engozini ukuzinza kwensiza, ngoba ihlanganiswe nohlelo lokusebenza ne-hardware yayo.
