Uphando ikhuphe namhlanje ibhalansi yokukhangela yonyaka yalo nyaka ophela, Zeitgeist 2012, esinika ithuba lokufumana ukuba zeziphi iindlela kunye neendaba eziye zavusa i-furor kakhulu kwi-Intanethi. Icandelo elihlala linomdla kubathandi betekhnoloji yileyo ibhekisa kwi elektroniki: Zeziphi eziye zathandwa kakhulu, ezifunwa kakhulu? Ewe, sivavanya olu luhlu, sikwazile ukuqinisekisa amandla eetafile: 5 kwi-10 Uninzi oluthethwayo malunga nezixhobo amacwecwe, kuquka leyo ibeka indawo yokuqala kwi udidi, siyakuxelela ukuba zeziphi.
Ukuba icandelo lethebhulethi likhule ngokupheleleyo liqinisekiswa yidatha yokuthengisa kulo nyaka kunye noqikelelo olwenziwayo olulandelayo, kwaye yinto engayi kumangalisa nabani na. Nangona kunjalo, enye isiqinisekiso esivela kwisandla sengxelo yonyaka ye Uphando ngokusekelwe kwidatha yokukhangela, yakho Zeitgeist 2012: njengoko kubonisiwe Techland kuhlalutyo lwakhe loluhlu, kwi phezulu 10 ye elektroniki uninzi oludumileyo alungenanga kwinto engaphantsi Iipilisi ze-5, nangona inani linokuba ngu-6 ukuba sibandakanya i Samsung Galaxy Note 2, ummeli we-quintessential we-hybrids phakathi kwethebhulethi kunye neselula eyi-phablet.
Uluhlu lweetafile ezibandakanyiweyo kuluhlu luqala kwindawo inombolo ye6, apho sifumana oko mhlawumbi kuye kwaba yimpikiswano kakhulu yonyaka, nangona iirekhodi zayo zokuthengisa ukususela ekuqalisweni kwayo ziye zaba uthozamile, ngokucacileyo: umphandle. Inyathelo elinye phezulu, kwisithuba inombolo ye5, sibona i-jewel kwisithsaba seepilisi ze-intshi ezi-7, i Nexus 7, engazange ibe yi-a impumelelo yokuthengisa (ngokungafaniyo nethebhulethi ye Microsoft) kodwa ube negalelo ekuhlanganiseni umgangatho wexabiso lemali phakathi kwee-compact tablets ezikwaziyo ukubeka ukhuphiswano kweli candelo red hot, ukuze kuxhamle bonke abasebenzisi. Kanye ngasentla kwethebhulethi Uphando, kwisithuba inombolo ye4, sinaye kanye lowo ungumanduleli wayo omkhulu, Umlilo Womlilo, eyavula iingcango zaloo modeli yoshishino apho inkampani ithathe inzuzo enkulu kwi-injini yokukhangela kwaye eyona nto iquka ukuthengisa i-hardware kwiindleko, ngethemba lokufumana inzuzo yokwenene ngokuthengisa umxholo.
I-cusp ye udidi, nangona kunjalo, ithathwa yimveliso iapile. Nangona into yokuba impumelelo yayo iPhone 5 ebambe indawo yesithoba ethobekileyo, iipilisi zayo zikwazile ukunyuka phezulu kuluhlu. Kwisithuba inombolo ye2 sifumana icwecwe ekudala ilindelwe kwiCupertino, i iPad mini, nto leyo engenakumangalisa nabani na ukuba siqwalasela ukuba amajelo eendaba akhethekileyo achithe ixesha elininzi lonyaka exubusha yonke inkcazelo encinane efunyenweyo ngaye. Kwaye, ekugqibeleni, kwindawo yokuqala sifumana ukumkanikazi wamacwecwe, i iPadNgokukodwa iPad 3. Kwenzeka njani ukuba ngenye indlela, ithebhulethi elawula kakhulu icandelo yinkwenkwezi yokukhangela Uphando, ngakumbi isizukulwana esivuse ukuncoma kakhulu ngenxa yokufakwa kwezikrini Retina. Kuya kufuneka silinde ingxelo ka-2013 ukuze sibone ukuba ukususwa esihlalweni Ngokumalunga neentengiso eziqikelelwa ziingcali kulo nyaka uzayo, kuya kubonakala kwakhona ekunciphiseni kwamanqanaba okuthandwa kwi-intanethi.
