Ngokusobala, inkampani uqobo lwayo ayikakuqinisekisi ukuvulwa kabusha kwalokhu ngoba akucaci ukuthi umonakalo owadalwa yizigebengu ezazihlasela ngoDisemba odlule yini nokuthi yiziphi izigebengu ezingakadalulwa. Lesi sitolo sihlaselwe ukwebiwa okuningana emlandweni waso, kepha asikho esifana nalokhu ngoDisemba odlule lapho amasela akwazile ukuphihliza amagobolondo ezokuphepha ngaphambili bese amawindi ezitolo.
Ngo-2012 baphinde bahlukunyezwa kulesi sitolo, kepha kulokhu bathole umonakalo omkhulu esakhiweni sangaphambili sesitolo futhi sidinga umsebenzi ozinikele kakhudlwana, ngakho Lesi sitolo savala iminyango yaso ngeSonto eledlule, ngomhlaka-15 Januwari, saze saqeda ukulungisa umonakalo odalekile. Ngaphezu komonakalo odaleke emawindini emnyango nangaphambili kwalesi sitolo nakumadivayisi entshontshiwe, ukulahleka okukhulu kwezomnotho kuzodalwa ukuvalwa kwalesi sitolo esithola izinkulungwane zezivakashi.
Asikholwa nokuthi bazothatha isikhathi eside ukuthi bavule lesi sitolo iPalo Alto kwazise vele sebesebenza kuso ukusivula ngokushesha okukhulu. I-Apple ivame ukuba yisisulu sabangane bomunye umuntu kaningi futhi lokhu kungenxa yokuthi imikhiqizo yabo iyabiza futhi "ezimakethe ezingamasekeni" zingathengiswa kalula, kodwa kufanele kubhekwe ukuthi zonke ziphethe inombolo yomkhiqizo futhi zingase zilandeleleke kalula kule nkampani.
