Isikhathi esihlanganisa kusukela ngoJulayi kuya kuDisemba wonyaka odlule, kubonakala sengathi kukhona umkhuba ophansi hhayi kuphela ezicelweni zikahulumeni kodwa nasezimpendulweni zenkampani kulezo zicelo. Ukwanda kwezicelo ezivela kuhulumeni waseChina kuyamangaza.
Phakathi nenkathi ehlanganisa Julayi kuya kuDisemba 2020, Iziphathimandla zikahulumeni emhlabeni jikelele bezilokhu zicela idatha ethile kwa-Apple ngezizathu ezahlukene. Kumele kukhunjulwe ukuthi uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo kodwa ngo-2019, ukuthambekela kokwehla kubonakala ngokucacile. Kunokuncipha kwezicelo kanye nasezimpendulweni ezinikezwe i-Apple. Sicabanga ukuthi lolu bhubhane luhlangene kakhulu nalo.
I-Apple ithi ithole izicelo engxenyeni yesibili ka-2020 ehlanganisa amadivayisi angama-83.307. Lokhu kungaphansi kwengxenye yalokho okwakukhona ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2019. Inkampani yaseMelika inikeze idatha ku-77% walezo zicelo, okubonisa ukwehla ngo-80%. Umbiko we-CNET uphawula ukuthi ukwehla okukhulu kwezicelo kuyathakazelisa ikakhulukazi ngoba kuhambisana esikhathini ezenzeka ngaso ukhetho lukamongameli e-USA.
I-Germany yenze inombolo enkulu kakhulu yezicelo zedatha yedivayisi, ithumela izicelo zedatha kusuka kumadivayisi angu-16.819, uma kuqhathaniswa nezingu-19.633 engxenyeni yesibili ka-2019. Kodwa ukwanda kwezicelo ezenziwe uhulumeni wase-China kumangalisa ngokumangazayo. Ifune idatha kumadivayisi ayi-11.372, ukwanda okukhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezicelo ezingama-851 zonyaka odlule.
Mayelana ne-US kanye nesikhathi esibucayi kakhulu, njengokhetho. U-Apple uthe izicelo zihlobene nokuphepha kwezwe ezenziwe yi-US. Ngenxa ye- Umthetho Wokubhekwa Kwezobunhloli Bangaphandle (I-FISA) ibiqonde kuma-akhawunti angama-24.499. Kufika ku-499 wezincwadi zokuphepha zezwe ze-FBI zolwazi lwababhalisile, okuhlanganisa nama-akhawunti angu-999.
Mayelana nezicelo ezimayelana ne-App Store: Ithole izicelo ezingama-39 zokususwa kokwephulwa kwezomthetho okubandakanya izicelo ezingama-206. I-China yathola ezingu-26 zalezi zicelo ezihlanganisa izicelo ezingu-90, yalandelwa yi-India ethumele izicelo eziyisithupha ezihlanganisa izicelo ezingu-102. I-Apple isuse izinhlelo zokusebenza eziceliwe ezingama-206.
