Το chip στα νέα iPod δε θα έχει σκοπό να εμποδίζει τη λειτουργεία ακουστικών-κλώνων, αλλά όποιος θα θέλει να κατασκευάζει και να πουλάει accesories με την ένδειξη “Made for iPod”, θα πρέπει να συμβαδίζει με το licencing της Apple.
Ιδού δύο απόσπάσματα από το άρθρο στο Macrumors:
There is no encryption or authentication on the chip, so clones could conceivably be made, just not with “Made for iPod” official certification.
Apple offers a “Made for iPod” licensing certification for accessories that work with their iPods. With the introduction of this chip, Apple seems to have extended “Made for iPod” certification to headphones/remotes that work with the iPod shuffle. Previously, these accessories were not required to be “Made for iPod” certified. So while there is no DRM in the chips, themselves, it is unlikely that a 3rd party manufacturer would be carried in an Apple Store unless they are “Made for iPod”. The implication is that Apple has further extended their control over 3rd party accessories for the iPod.
