On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its latest generation of iPhones, including a highly anticipated foldable model named Duo.

蘋果於週三發表最新一代iPhone,其中涵蓋一款備受矚目的摺疊版本,命名為Duo。

The company's new CEO, John Ternus, succeeded Tim Cook on September 1 and introduced the latest product lineup at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.

該公司新任執行長約翰·特努斯(John Ternus)於9月1日接替提姆·庫克(Tim Cook),並在加州庫比蒂諾的總部介紹了最新產品陣容。

After introducing the other updates to the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods one by one, Ternus told the audience in the Steve Jobs Theater, "There's just one more thing," thereby paying tribute to Jobs's signature linea phrase the late legendary founder had borrowed from the 1970s detective series Columbo.

在逐一介紹iPhone、Apple Watch和AirPods的其他更新後,特努斯向史蒂夫·賈伯斯劇院內的觀眾表示,「其實還有一件事」,藉此致敬賈伯斯的招牌台詞——這位已故傳奇創辦人當年正是從1970年代偵探影集《神探可倫坡》借用了這句話。

Ternus stated that this foldable phone features "the largest display ever on an iPhone, yet it still fits in your pocket."

特努斯表示,這款摺疊手機搭載了「iPhone歷來最大的螢幕,卻能放進你的口袋」。

When unfolded, this phone features a 7.6-inch screen, which is 80% larger than the latest iPhone 18 Pro.

這款手機在展開狀態下配備7.6吋螢幕較最新的iPhone 18 Pro大了80%

This design will enable users to operate the Apple Pencil on the phone, a feature previously available only to iPad users.

此設計將使使用者得以在手機上操作Apple Pencil而這項功能此前僅限iPad使用者享有。

Ternus stated that the Duo "will redefine the experience of using a foldable phone."

特努斯表示Duo重新定義使用摺疊手機的體驗」。

The Duo allows users to split the screen, enabling them to run two different apps simultaneously on the device, or to open two windows of the same website, for example to compare prices while shopping.

Duo使用者得以分割螢幕從而在裝置上同時運行兩個不同的應用程式開啟同一網站的兩個視窗例如用於比價購物

Its starting price is $1,999, making it the most expensive iPhone to date.

起價1,999美元迄今最貴的iPhone

Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said that the Duo was "bound to overshadow all the other announcements at Apple's launch event."

CCS Insight首席分析師班·伍德(Ben Wood)表示這款Duo「注定會讓蘋果在發表會上的其他消息相形失色」。

He went on to note: "This device adds a distinctive new design to the iPhone line-up, and it also signals the company's entry into the niche foldable smartphone category."

他進一步指出:「這款裝置為iPhone陣容增添了獨特的新設計也象徵該公司進軍小眾的摺疊智慧型手機類別。」

Wood noted that although the Duo will undoubtedly have market demand and its pricing is also lower than some analysts had originally expected, foldable phones still account for less than 5% of the overall smartphone market.

伍德指出儘管Duo無疑將具備市場需求,且其定價低於部分分析師原先的預期然而摺疊機在整體智慧型手機市場中所占比重仍不足5%

Ternus stated that the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max have both been improved in terms of battery, camera, and performance.

特努斯表示iPhone 18 Pro18 Pro Max電池相機效能層面均有所精進

The two models are priced starting at $1,199 and $1,299 respectively.

兩款機型起售價分別為1,199美元1,299美元

Consumers can pre-order these phones starting September 12, with official sales beginning September 18, though the Duo will not go on sale until October 23.

消費者自9月12日起可預購這些手機9月18日正式開賣Duo須待10月23日方才上市

The new models offer long-lasting battery lifethe Pro Max can play video continuously for up to 45 hourswhile charging is also faster.

新機型具備持久的電池續航力——Pro Max 可連續播放影片達 45 小時——同時充電速度亦更為迅捷

The camera, meanwhile, offers what Apple calls a "cinematic effect," which can be generated from ordinary footage shot on the phone, along with new manual controls and a "smart focus tracking" feature that lets users keep a single moving subject in focus, such as a child in a soccer match.

相機提供蘋果所稱的「電影級效果」,此效果可自手機拍攝的普通影片中生成並新增手動控制選項以及智慧焦點追蹤功能,讓使用者得以聚焦於單一移動主體例如足球比賽中的孩童

Apple also highlighted Siri's new AI capabilities on its new phones, emphasising privacy and security in order to set itself apart from competitors that have made faster progress in integrating AI.

蘋果在新手機上也重點突出Siri的新AI功能,強調隱私與安全,以與在整合AI方面進展更快的競爭對手有所區別。

Many of Apple's major competitors, such as Samsung, Motorola and Google, have already launched foldable smartphones, but Apple has never been in a hurry to adopt new technologies.

蘋果的眾多主要競爭對手三星MotorolaGoogle均已推出摺疊智慧型手機蘋果向來不急於採用新技術

"This foldable launch is consistent with Apple's long-standing strategy: wait until a product overcomes its early problems and the market shows the first signs of viability before entering, and then shape the category," said Dipanjan Chatterjee, an analyst at Forrester.

此次摺疊機的發布與蘋果的一貫策略如出一轍待產品克服初期問題市場浮現可行性的蛛絲馬跡後再進場並形塑這個類別」,Forrester分析師迪潘詹·查特吉(Dipanjan Chatterjee)表示

However, he also noted that the question is whether it can expand demand for a product category that remains niche.

然而他也指出問題在於它能否擴大這個仍屬小眾產品類別的需求

Compared with previous generations, the iPhone 18 is priced roughly 100 dollars higher, a phenomenon partly attributable to a global shortage of memory chips.

相較於前幾代機型iPhone 18的售價約高出100美元此一現象部分歸因於全球記憶體晶片短缺

As for the iPhone 17, its price varies by model, ranging from 799 dollars to 1,999 dollars.

至於iPhone 17其價格則依機型而異介於799美元1,999美元之間。

Earlier this year, Apple announced advances in artificial intelligence, including an upgraded Siri assistant, and emphasised a focus on privacy and everyday use, as the company seeks to catch up with rivals in AI.

今年稍早蘋果發表了人工智慧領域的進展包括升級Siri助理並強調聚焦隱私日常使用,因為該公司試圖在AI方面追趕競爭對手

Chatterjee remarked that, for Ternus, this keynote address was a prime opportunity to set the tone for his own vision of Apple's future.

查特吉表示,對特努斯而言,這場主題演講是他為自己對蘋果未來的願景定調的良機。

"What John Ternus has inherited is perhaps the most successful consumer technology giant of our time.

約翰·特努斯所繼承的或許是當代最成功的消費科技巨擘

For him, this is both an advantage and a burden.

對他而言既是助力也是負擔

Tim Cook's refined execution, scale, and profit model have set a high bar, and Ternus must carry on this remarkable legacy," Chatterjee said.

提姆·庫克精煉至臻的執行力規模獲利模式樹立了高標特努斯必須延續這段輝煌」,查特吉說

"But he must sustain this momentum while enabling Apple to disrupt itself before longby which time the iPhone, or any smartphone, will no longer be consumers' primary gateway to the world."

但他必須維持這股動能的同時,讓蘋果在不久後能自我顛覆——屆時iPhone或任何智慧型手機都將不再是消費者通往世界的主要管道。」

Wood points out that, despite the excitement surrounding Duo, Ternus's formal appointment as CEO "did not feel as dramatic as he had anticipated."

伍德指出,儘管外界對Duo滿懷興奮之情,特努斯正式就任執行長一事「感覺並不如他預期那般富有故事性」。

"This launch event represents a seamless handover from Tim Cook, and the fact that the timing coincides with the iPhone Duo is undoubtedly deliberate planning," Wood said.

這場發表會象徵提姆·庫克無縫交接,而時程安排與iPhone Duo同步無疑是刻意規劃」,伍德說

"However, despite the media's frenzy over this new device, what truly drives the company forward is still Apple's overall strength in hardware, software, and services."

然而儘管媒體對這款新裝置狂熱不已真正推動公司前進的仍是蘋果在硬體、軟體與服務上的整體實力。」
