Umbiko wakamuva ovela ku-Counterpoint Research uthi ukuthunyelwa kwe-Apple Watch engxenyeni yesithathu kuzokwehla ngo-10% kusukela esikhathini esifanayo ngonyaka odlule. Inkampani yocwaningo ithi ngenkathi i-Apple igcina isikhundla esiphambili kwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo, ukuthunyelwa kwewashi layo kuzokwehla. Lesi isibikezelo semakethe kuphela futhi akusona isimo semakethe sangempela.
Lo mbiko uphinde uveze ukuthi isizathu sokwehla kokuthengiswa kwe-Apple Watch engxenyeni yesithathu kungenzeka ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-Apple Watch Series 7 kwaba kamuva kunaseminyakeni edlule. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amakhasimende angaba khona cishe ngeke athenge i-Apple Watch Series esikhathini esithile ngaphambi kokwethulwa. Idatha iphinde ibonise ukuthi ukuthunyelwa okuphelele kwe-smartwatch emhlabeni wonke engxenyeni yesithathu yalo nyaka kukhuphuke ngo-16% esikhathini esifanayo ngonyaka odlule. Iqhubeka nethrendi yokukhula enamadijithi amabili wekota edlule.
I-Apple ayizivezi izibalo ezithile zokuthengisa ze-Apple Watch. Kodwa-ke, inkampani iveza izici zemishini yayo egqokekayo. Ngekota yesine ka-2021, imali engenayo yedivayisi egqokekayo yayingama- $ 7,9 billion. Uma kuqhathaniswa, imali engenayo yomnyango ngesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule yayingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6,52.
I-Apple Watch Series 8 kungenzeka ibe nenzwa yeglucose yegazi
Apple isanda kwethula i-Apple Watch Series 7 yayo, futhi ngokungafani namahemuhemu adlule, okugqokwayo kwakungenayo inzwa ye-glucose yegazi. Lesi sici sabikwa ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, kodwa kubonakala sengathi i-Apple ayikwazanga ukusilungiselela isizukulwane sesikhombisa se-smartwatch sayo. Amahemuhemu athi lobu buchwepheshe obusha futhi mhlawumbe obushintshashintshayo busasele iminyaka eminingana. Kodwa-ke, amahlebezi amasha aphakamisa ukuthi i-Apple ingathola indlela yokuyethula kuchungechunge lwayo oluzayo lwe-Apple Watch 8.
Embikweni omusha Ama-digitimes ibonisa ukuthi i-Apple nabahlinzeki bayo sebeqalile kakade ukusebenza kuzinzwa ze-shortwave infrared, uhlobo oluvame ukusetshenziswa lwenzwa kumishini yezokwelapha. Abahlinzeki okukhulunywa ngabo yi-Ennostar kanye ne-Taiwan Asia Semiconductor. Inzwa entsha cishe izofakwa ngemuva kwe-smartwatch. Lokhu kuzovumela imitha ukuthi ilinganise ushukela wegazi lomsebenzisi kanye neglucose.
Umbiko we-Digitimes uthi i-Apple nabahlinzeki bayo sebeqalile ukusebenza kumasensa we-shortwave infrared. Lolu uhlobo oluvamile lwe-transducer yamadivayisi wezokwelapha. Ubuchwepheshe obusha buzohlinzekwa ngabakwa-Ennostar kanye ne-Taiwan Asia Semiconductor. Inzwa entsha cishe izofakwa ngemuva kwe-smartwatch. Lokhu kuzovumela idivayisi egqokekayo ukukala ushukela wegazi lomuntu owugqokile namazinga eglucose.
