Ngokombiko we-Macrumors, i-Apple ithuthukisa idivayisi yesikhungo sasekhaya ene-Siri AI (Home Hub), engase ikhishwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Lesi sikhungo sasekhaya sizoba ne-“Widget Gallery (umtapo wamawijethi)”, ezovumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakhethe okuqukethwe abafuna ukukubonisa esikrinini esikhulu sedivayisi.
Ulwazi oluhlobene ne-“Widget Gallery” lutholwe kumafayela esistimu e-macOS Tahoe 26.7, futhi lesi sibuyekezo sasivele siputshuze uhlu olude lwemikhiqizo ye-Apple engakakhishwa. Izintambo ezihlobene nalokhu zivela kufayela elibizwa ngokuthi PosterKit-J490, lapho u-J490 kuyikhodi yale divayisi yesikhungo sasekhaya. I-PosterKit iwuhlaka olusetshenziswa yi-Apple ukwenza ngokwezifiso isikrini sokukhiya, ngakho isikrini esikhulu salesi sikhungo sasekhaya singase sinikeze izinketho ezifanayo zokwenza ngokwezifiso izithonjana, amawijethi namawashi.
I-Apple isivele isebenzisa i-“Widget Gallery” ku-iPhone, iPad naku-Mac, ivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bengeze amawijethi ezikrinini ezinkulu nezikrinini zokukhiya zalawa madivayisi. Isikhungo sasekhaya sakusasa kulindeleke ukuthi sisebenzise indlela efanayo.
Ngokwekhodi, amawijethi asevele efakiwe ku-iPhone ehlotshaniswa nesikhungo sasekhaya azonconywa futhi aboniswe kulesi sikhungo. Lokhu kufana nendlela amawijethi e-iPhone angasetshenziswa ngayo ku-Mac, ngisho noma i-Mac ingenalo uhlelo lokusebenza oluhambisanayo olufakiwe. Ikhodi ehlobene nayo iphinde ikhombise ukuthi, ngaphandle kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Apple uqobo, amawijethi ezinhlelo zezinkampani zangaphandle nawo angase asekelwe. Lapho amawijethi ezinhlelo ze-iPhone eboniswa esikhungweni sasekhaya, ulwazi olukuwona luzovumelaniswa ne-iPhone.
Bonke abasebenzisi basekhaya bazokwazi ukubona ukuthi yimaphi amawijethi afakiwe esikhungweni sasekhaya. Kodwa ngenxa yokuvikela ubumfihlo, okuqukethwe okuqondile kwamawijethi kuzoboniswa kuphela lapho idivayisi eyinhloko ehlotshaniswa nayo isekhaya.
Isikhungo sasekhaya sizophinde sisekele isici se-Smart Stack (ukupakishwa okuhlakaniphile), esingashintsha ngokuzenzakalelayo ulwazi olubonisiwe kuye ngezikhathi ezihlukene zosuku. Abasebenzisi bangashintsha ngesandla phakathi kwezinketho ezihlukene ze-Smart Stack. I-Apple isivele inikeza isici se-Smart Stack kwamanye amadivayisi, okuhlanganisa i-Apple Watch.
Kulindeleke ukuthi lesi sikhungo sasekhaya singabi ne-App Store ezimele, kodwa sizosekela izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Apple ezifana ne-Safari, Apple News, Apple Music, Amanothi, Ikhalenda, Izithombe ne-Home. Lapho abasebenzisi bechofoza esikrinini esikhulu iwijethi efakiwe, kungenzeka ukuthi kuvuleke ngqo uhlelo lokusebenza olugcwele oluhambisanayo ukuze babone ulwazi olwengeziwe.
Ikhodi iphinde ibe nolwazi oluhlobene ne-“Face Gallery (umtapo wamawashi)”, okusikisela ukuthi abasebenzisi bangase bakwazi ukukhetha izitayela ezihlukene zamawashi zesikrini esikhulu sesikhungo sasekhaya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikhodi ehlobene nayo ikhombisa ukuthi le divayisi ingangezwa ezigcawini nasezilungiselelweni ezizenzelayo ze-HomeKit, njengamanye amaphedi nezinsiza zasekhaya ezihlakaniphile.
Ngokusho kolwazi olutholakalayo, lesi sikhungo sasekhaya se-Apple kulindeleke ukuthi sisebenzise isikrini esiyisikwele esingamayintshi angu-7, esingasetshenziswa sibekwe esisekelweni noma sifakwe odongeni.
