iapile ngoku iphonononga iindlela zokunciphisa iminwe kunye nodaka olwenzeka kumphezulu wesinyithi wezixhobo zayo. Eli lelinye icebiso lokuba inkampani inokuvelisa iimveliso ze-titanium kungekudala.
Ngokwengxelo MacRumors, i-patent yakutshanje evela kwi-giant Cupertino ifakwe kwi-Patent yase-US kunye ne-Ofisi ye-Trademark. Le patent yayinesihloko esithi " Iingubo ze-oxide zemigangatho yesinyithi” kunye neenkcukacha malunga nendlela i-coating ebhityileyo inokunciphisa kakhulu ukubonakala kweminwe kwindawo yentsimbi yeemveliso zayo. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, inkampani inelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wesixhobo se-titanium, iphinda ibonise izicwangciso zayo zokongeza izinto kwizixhobo zayo ezizayo.
Oku kunokubandakanya iimveliso ezinje ngeeMacBooks, ii-iPads kunye nee-iPhones, ezinokuza neemeko ze-titanium ezinomgangatho owahlukileyo owenziweyo. Ukongezelela, i-patent yamva nje ichaza ukusetyenziswa kwee-coatings ye-oxide, igxininisa ngakumbi izibonelelo zokusebenzisa i-titanium kwiimveliso ze-electronics zabathengi kunye namagama anjengokuthi "amandla aphezulu, ukuqina kunye nokuqina." Kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, i-Apple igxininisa ukuba i-titanium ivakalelwa ngakumbi kwiminwe yeminwe kunezinye iintsimbi.
Ngelixa iingubo ze-oleophobic zihlala zisetyenziselwa ukunciphisa iminwe kwiglasi, ukugquma akusebenzi kakuhle kwimigangatho yentsimbi efana ne-titanium. Ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza libonisa umdla walo wokusebenzisa i-titanium kwizixhobo zayo, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekudalweni kobuchwepheshe obunxulumene ne-patent kunye nezisombululo. Ngelishwa, iseyilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kwaye inkampani inokugubungela yonke into. Ngoko thatha le ngxelo ngengqolowa yetyuwa kwaye uhlale ubukele.
