Njengamanje, ukuphela kwezinhlelo zokusebenza esingazithola emakethe nalokho kulawula umhlaba wezocingo yi-Apple ye-Apple neGoogle yeGoogle. IMicrosoft izamile ngeWindows Phone futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi nge Windows 10 Mobile, umzamo owawuzobhujiswa cishe kusukela ekwethulweni kwawo. IFirefox nayo izamile kepha ukungabi bikho kosizo kubaphathi kuyiphoqe ukuthi ivale
Sekuyiminyaka eminingana, abakwaSamsung bebheja iTizen, ezimakethe ezithile ezisafufusa nasezisekelweni zayo zokugqoka futhi okwamanje ayikho inhloso yokwelula ukusetshenziswa kwendlela yokwenza ngayo. Izinkinga i-ZTE ebhekane nazo, ngemuva kokuvinjelwa kokukwazi ukusebenzisa noma iyiphi into eyenziwe, yathuthukiswa noma yakhiwa e-United States, ibeke inkampani engcupheni yokuvala. Huawei, kungaba okulandelayo.
Inkampani yase-Asia iHuawei ibone indlela uhulumeni waseMelika kuvimbele inkampani ukufika e-United States ibambisene nabasebenza kakhulu, into ecekele phansi izinhlelo zokunwetshwa kwale nkampani. Kepha lokho kuvotela kungenzeka kube ukuqala nokugwema ukuphindwa kwecala le-ZTE, inkampani ebeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwezwe ngokwephula unswinyo lwaseMelika ne-Iran futhi ithengise imikhiqizo yayo kulelo zwe, inkampani isilungiselele ukusebenza kwayo uhlelo.
Ngokusobala lolu hlelo olusebenzayo iqale ukuthuthuka ngo-2012, lapho uhulumeni waseMelika eqala ukuphenya iHuawei, inkampani ebilokhu ihlotshaniswa nohulumeni waseChina. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza, olubizwa nge-OS, alubonanga ukukhanya kosuku, njengoba iphrojekthi iqhubeke kancane kakhulu, futhi njengokujwayelekile kulo mkhakha, ayinakho ukusekelwa ngabathuthukisi, ngaphandle kwabo ipulatifomu yeselula engenalo ikusasa.
Uma ekugcineni iHuawei nayo ihlangabezane nenkinga ye-ZTE, izothola kuphela inkinga yesoftware, hhayi i-hardware njengoba kwenzeka nge-ZTE, ngoba inkampani yase-Asia ayithengi noma yiziphi izinto kwaQualcomm, njengoba yenza ama-processor ayo. Vele, ukwamukela uhlelo olusha lokusebenza ngaphandle kosizo oluvela eceleni kungaba yinto enzima lapho, njengeZTE, ayikwazanga ukuphola.
