Ngale nto, igubungela ulindelo olubekiweyo kwaye ide idlule kubo.
Xa icwecwe elincinci lezo zeapile liphuma ngo-Oktobha 23, uqikelelo lokuthengisa kude kube sekupheleni kwe2012. ifikelele kwi-10 yezigidi zeeyunithi. Emva koko, ngenxa yeengxaki kwikhonkco lemveliso kunye nesantya abafikelela ngaso kubathengi, inani kwafuneka lehliswe phakathi kwe-6 kunye ne-8 yezigidi kwaye loo njongo sele iphunyeziwe phambi kokuphela konyaka.
Idatha iyamangalisa okomzuzwana wokuqala wokubanda kunye nokugxekwa ukuba ukuqaliswa kwayo kuziswe eluntwini. Imodeli entsha ayizange ibonelele nantoni na yokuqala ngokwemigaqo yenkcazo kunye nesikrini sayo se-Retina asizange sidanise kwaye ngakumbi ukuba siyayithelekisa nexabiso layo eliphezulu kunoluhlu olufanayo kwi-Android njenge-Nexus 7 kunye ne-Kindle Fire HD. UPhil Schiller kwanyanzeleka ukuba aphume ayichaze.
Ixesha libonise ukuba abathengi baye baqiniseka ngokuthe ngcembe ngeenzuzo zemveliso kwaye bayilayisha kwiibhasikithi zabo.

Olu qikelelo lubeka ithebhulethi encinci njengeyona nto ibalulekileyo kwintengiso yayo yexesha elizayo kwaye sele sikuxelele mva nje ukuba yayinjalo ukuba nempumelelo engaphezulu ezivenkileni kunesizukulwana sesine sefomathi enkulu.
