Kutshanje, iApple ithathe inyathelo elibalulekileyo lokwandisa isabelo seetshiphusi zayo kwii-smartphones: uninzi lweshishini lemodem ye-Intel ye-1 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi. aba bamva bayakufumana kwakhona ipropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda, izixhobo kunye namalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza angama-2200 kubuchwephesha obungenazingcingo, ukusuka kwimigangatho yeselula ukuya kwiimodem. I-Intel igcine ilungelo lokuphuhlisa iimodem kwezinye iindawo ezingezizo ii-smartphones, ezinjengeePC, izixhobo zamashishini kunye neemoto eziziqhubayo.
I-Apple ibisoloko ixhomekeke kubaboneleli beqela lesithathu kwiimodem. Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-Intel yayinguye yedwa umenzi wala macandelo e-iPhone, emva kwedabi lelayisenisi lika-Apple kunye neQualcomm. Ngo-Epreli, i-Apple ifikelele kwisisombululo esothusayo ukuze ii-iPhones ezintsha ziphinde zisebenzise iimodem zeQualcomm. Kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa emva kwezi ndaba, i-Intel yabhengeza ukuba izakushiya ishishini lemodem ye-smartphone.
I-Apple ithande ukufumana iinkampani ezincinci kakhulu okanye amashishini: isivumelwano se-Intel yayiyeyesibini ngobukhulu emva kokuthengwa kwayo kweebhiliyoni zeedola ezi-3,2 ze-Beats Electronics ngo-2014. Ngokuqinisekileyo, abasebenzi abatsha, uphuhliso kunye namalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza baya kuvumela i-Apple ukuba yenze iimodem zayo ze-5G. Abona bakhuphisana bakhulu behlabathi be-Apple, i-Samsung kunye neHuawei, sele benawo obu buchule.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, Ulwazi lunike ingxelo ngeenzame zika-Apple zokuphuhlisa imodem yayo, kodwa isigebenga seCupertino asizange siyamkele ngokusemthethweni. NgoFebruwari, iReuters yabika ukuba i-Apple iye yahambisa iinzame zayo zokuphuhlisa imodem kwisahlulo esifanayo esenza i-Apple A single-chip systems, ebonisa ukuba inkampani yayikwandisa iinzame zayo zokudala iimodem zayo.
Ukuthenga ii-asethi ze-Intel kufuneka kuncede i-Apple ikhawulezise izicwangciso zayo zemodem. Umthombo weReuters unika ingxelo yokuba inkampani iceba ukusebenzisa iitshiphusi zeQualcomm kusapho lwe-iPhone kulo nyaka ukuxhasa i-5G, kodwa iceba ukutshintshela kwiichips zayo kwiimveliso ezininzi ngo-2021. I-Intel icwangcise ukukhulula imodem ye-5G ngo-2020, ngoko ukusebenzisa uphuhliso lwayo kufuneka kuncede i-Apple ifezekise iinjongo zayo.
Kodwa, ngokwe-tipster efanayo, nayiphi na indawo ye-Qualcomm iya kwenzeka ngezigaba: I-Apple ithatha indlela elumkileyo kwaye ifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba iimveliso zayo ziya kusebenza kuzo zonke iinethiwekhi kunye namazwe apho zithengiswa khona. Izisombululo ze-Qualcomm ngokwesiko zomelele kule ndawo, ke i-Apple isenokufuneka ishiye iimodem zokhuphiswano kwezinye zezixhobo zayo. "U-Apple ufuna ngokwenene ukwenza umlutha ube yinto yakudala, kodwa uyayiqonda into yokuba kufuneka yenziwe ngenkathalo," utshilo umntu wangaphakathi.
Elinye igqala kwishishini lixelele iintatheli ukuba isivumelwano selayisenisi se-Apple kunye ne-Qualcomm siza kuhlala eminye iminyaka emithandathu, kwaye isivumelwano sokubonelela nge-chip sinokuhlala sisebenza ngelo xesha. Ngokoluvo lwakhe, i-Apple iya kuqhubeka nokusebenzisa iitshiphusi ze-Qualcomm kwiimodeli zayo zeflegi, kwaye kwixabiso eliphantsi nangaphezulu iya kutshintshela kwizisombululo zayo.
Kuphuhliso lwemodem, kuthiwa iApple isebenzisane neTaiwan's Global Unichip, exhaswa yi-TSMC, kodwa umsebenzi usekwinqanaba lokuqala. Oku, ngokucacileyo, yayisisizathu sesivumelwano neQualcomm kwaye oku kwabangela ukuba iApple ifumane ishishini le-Intel.
Esona sixhobo sixabisekileyo se-Intel isivumelwano se-Apple sinokuba ngamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza. Ukuthengisa i-iPhone ye-5G, inkampani kufuneka ingene kwizivumelwano kunye nabanini-patent abakhulu be-5G, kuquka iNokia, i-Ericsson, iHuawei kunye neQualcomm. Igqwetha lelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza u-Erick Robinson, owayefudula esebenza kwisebe leelayisenisi lika-Qualcomm e-Asia, wathi amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza anokunika i-Apple itshiphu enkulu yokuxoxisana ngelayisensi: “Andicingi ukuba ipotifoliyo ye-Intel's patent engenazingcingo inokuthelekiswa ne-Qualcomm's, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo inkulu ngokwaneleyo. ichaphazela ixabiso leelayisensi ezinqamlezileyo."
