I-iPhone X yathathwa njengesihloko sokuhlolwa, futhi ividiyo yokufakelwa okuyimpumelelo kwe-USB Type-C yavela ngenyanga edlule. Umbhali wabe esethembisa ukushicilela imiyalelo enemininingwane; lapho ezokhuluma khona ngokuthi ungawushintsha kanjani umbani ube yi-USB Type-C.
Ngokuyisisekelo, udinga ukudala i-PCB ngesixhumi kusuka ekuqaleni bese uyixhuma ku-smartphone yakho. Awukwazi ukwenza ngaphandle kwamakhono akhethekile nolwazi. Kulabo abangebona abafokazi ekuhlolweni futhi i-iPhone engadingekile ilele nxazonke; umbhali unikeza imiyalelo eningiliziwe ebonakalayo yokuthi ungakwenza kanjani lokhu. Ikhodi yomthombo yephrojekthi nayo isendaweni yomphakathi, ngakho-ke noma ubani angenza "ukufakelwa" kwamanye amamodeli we-iPhone.
I-iPhone X efanayo eshuniwe umbhali ayifake endalini ku-eBay. Ngesikhathi sokubhala lokhu, bazimisele ukukhokha ama- $ 4850 ngalokhu. Inkatho ngokwayo ihambisana nencazelo yokuthi lena i-iPhone yokuqala emhlabeni ene-USB Type-C; Kodwa umnikazi wayo wesikhathi esizayo akufanele asebenzise i-smartphone njengeyona eyinhloko yokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke.
I-EU izonikeza abakhiqizi iminyaka emibili yokushintshela ku-USB Type-C
Inkulumo yokwamukela i-USB Type-C njengezinga lokushaja izinto zikagesi e-Europe isineminyaka embalwa iqhubeka. Kodwa-ke, manje iPhalamende LaseYurophu selisondele ekuthatheni lesi sinqumo. Ngesonto eledlule, i-MEP ikhulume ngokuthi kungani ingahlanganyeli ngezinto ezikhathazayo ze-Apple zokuthi ukwamukelwa kwe-USB Type-C njengendlela evamile kungalimaza emisha. Namuhla, umnyango usichaze kabanzi ngesimo sawo.
Umkhulumeli wePhalamende laseYurophu uthe ichweba le-USB Type-C liwubuchwepheshe obukhethwe kusengaphambili njengendlela evamile. Nokho, lokhu akuvimbeli nakancane abakhiqizi ekuthuthukiseni obunye ubuchwepheshe obuzohlinzeka ngamakhono angcono wokushaja nawokudlulisa idatha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iPhalamende LaseYurophu lathi esitatimendeni kuzoba nenkathi yenguquko yokudluliselwa kwamadivayisi ezingeni elisha; okungeke kuholele ekuphelelweni ngokushesha kwamadivayisi asevele esemakethe. I-USB Type-C izoba yisibopho ukuthi isetshenziswe eminyakeni emibili kuphela ngemva kokuba yamukelwe njengezinga elilodwa.
Okwamanje Apple iyimbangi enkulu yokumiswa kohlobo C lwe-USB. Le nkampani ithi ukuthutha okunjalo kuzonciphisa ukuqanjwa kabusha futhi kuholele e-e-waste eyengeziwe. Nokho, ngaleso sikhathi, i-USB Type-C yayisiyindinganiso emakethe yaseYurophu; Ngokusho kwamahemuhemu, i-Apple ilahle ngokuphelele izixhumi zomzimba kuma-smartphones anegama.
