Ngo-Ephreli odlule, i-Apple yamemezela lokho izoyeka ukukhiqiza ulayini womkhiqizo we-AirPort. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, izitolo zakwa-Apple bezichitha amasheya azo alezi zinsiza ze-Apple ezisisebenzele iminyaka ukuxhuma kahle amadivayisi wethu we-Apple (hhayi ama-Apple) kunethiwekhi yethu yasekhaya.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuze kube manje i-Apple ibinenkumbulo ephelele yokwenza amakhophi wesipele ngokusebenzisa Isikhathi Machine. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ezinye izinkampani zobuchwepheshe seziqhamuke nezinye izindlela zokwandisa amanethiwekhi nokunikela ngemikhiqizo yezipele.
Uma wephuzile, ungazithola I-AirPort esigabeni esivuselelwe, ngoba kokubili ezitolo ezingokwenyama nasesitolo esiku-inthanethi, umkhiqizo awusaveli njengokutholakala. Isinqumo sika-Apple siza ngemuva kweminyaka eminingana ngaphandle kokubuyekeza umkhiqizo. Ngesikhathi sokugcina i-Apple ivuselele i- I-AirPort Express ibiku-2012. Izinhlobo eziphelele kakhulu, amafayela we- I-AirPort Extreme neTime Capsule, ivuselelwe ngo-2013. Ngo-2016 kwaba namahlebezi maqondana nokumiswa kwentuthuko yamaqembu, futhi lawa mahemuhemu agcina ngokuqinisekiswa ngo-Ephreli odlule.
I-Apple ibilokhu ibonakaliswe ngokuba nohla olulinganiselwe lwemikhiqizo, enwetshiwe kuphela kuzinguqulo ezijwayelekile kanye nezinguqulo zomsebenzi wayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma umkhiqizo ungathengiswa ngokuqhubekayo, futhi le nsizakalo iphinde inikezwe abanye abakhiqizi, imisa ukuwumaketha.
Kunoma ikuphi, iziteshi ze-AirPort zinikela ngezinsizakalo eziningi ezinye izinto ezivela eceleni ezinganikeli ngazo, njengokusekelwa kwesipele Isikhathi Somshini esakhelwe ku-Time Capsule. Ngakho-ke, sizobona imakethe enkulu yamasekeni yalezi zinsiza eminyakeni ezayo. Kulezi zinsuku, abasebenzisi abaningi bathathe indawo yalo msebenzi nge-NAS kanye nezipele nge-software yomuntu wesithathu, ebanikeza umsebenzi ofanayo futhi ngasikhathi sinye ibavumela ukuthi badlale ngokugcina okwengeziwe nganoma yiluphi uhlobo lwedivayisi.
