Apple njengamanje ubheka izindlela zokunciphisa ukubonakala kweminwe kanye nama-smudges ezinhlakeni zensimbi zamagajethi abo. Lokhu kungokunye ukusikisela ukuthi inkampani kungekudala izokwethula imikhiqizo nge-titanium.
Ngokwalo mbiko Ama-MacRumors, i-patent yakamuva evela ku-giant Cupertino yafakwa ne-United States Patent kanye ne-Trademark Office. Leli lungelo lobunikazi belinesihloko esithi “ Ukumbozwa kwe-oxide okwenziwe ngensimbi”Nemininingwane yokuthi ukumboza okuncane kungakunciphisa kanjani kakhulu ukubonakala kweminwe eminxeni yensimbi yemikhiqizo yayo. Ngenyanga edlule nje, inkampani enamalungelo obunikazi obunikazi bamadivayisi we-titanium, akhombisa nezinhlelo zayo zokwengeza le nto kumadivayisi ayo esikhathi esizayo.
Lokhu kungafaka imikhiqizo efana neMacBook, i-iPad ne-iPhone, engahle ize namacala we-titanium anokuqedwa okwehlukile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-patent yakamuva ichaza ukusetshenziswa kwezingubo ze-oxide, iqhubeka nokugqamisa izinzuzo ze-titanium emikhiqizweni ye-elekthronikhi yomthengi isebenzisa amagama anjengokuthi "amandla aphezulu, ukuqina nobulukhuni." Ku-patent, i-Apple igcizelela ukuthi i-titanium iyazwela kakhulu kwizigxivizo zeminwe kunezinye izinsimbi.
Ngenkathi ukumbozwa kwe-oleophobic kuvame ukusetshenziselwa ukunciphisa izigxivizo zeminwe ezivela ezingilazini, ukumbozwa akusebenzi nasezinsimbi ezifana ne-titanium. Igunya lobunikazi likhombisa intshisekelo yakhe ekusebenziseni i-titanium kumadivayisi akhe, okuze kwaholela nasekwakhiweni kobuchwepheshe nezixazululo ezihlobene nobunikazi. Ngeshwa, lokhu kuseyi-patent nje futhi inkampani ingahle ihlanganise zonke izingqinamba. Ngakho-ke thatha lo mbiko ngohlamvu lukasawoti bese uhlala ubukele.
