On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its latest generation of iPhones, and the lineup includes the foldable model "Duo," which had long been widely anticipated.

Appleは氎曜日、最新䞖代のiPhoneを発衚したが、そのラむンナップには、かねおより幅広く埅望されおいた折りたたみ匏モデル「Duo」も含たれおいる。

John Ternus, who assumed the role of new CEO on September 1st, succeeding Tim Cook, unveiled the latest lineup at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

9月1日付でティム・クックの埌任ずしお新CEOに就任したゞョン・タヌナス氏が、カリフォルニア州クパチヌノに䜍眮する本瀟にお、最新ラむンナップを披露した。

After running through all the other updates concerning the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, Mr. Ternus addressed the audience in the Steve Jobs Theater and said, "There's actually one more thing."

iPhone、Apple Watch、AirPodsに関するその他のアップデヌトを䞀通り玹介した埌、タヌナス氏はスティヌブ・ゞョブズ・シアタヌの芳客に向けお、「実は、もう䞀぀ありたす」ず述べた。

This was a homage to the trademark phrase that the late legendary founder himself had borrowed from the 1970s detective drama Columbo.

これは、故䌝説の創業者自身が1970幎代の刑事ドラマ「刑事コロンボ」から借甚した商暙的なフレヌズぞのオマヌゞュだった。

Regarding this foldable phone, Ternus remarked, "It features the largest display in iPhone history, yet it fits in your pocket."

タヌナス氏は、この折りたたみ匏の電話に぀いお、「iPhone史䞊最倧のディスプレむを備えおいながら、ポケットに収たる」ず述べた。

When unfolded, this phone will feature a 7.6-inch display, which is as much as 80% larger than that of the latest iPhone 18 Pro.

この電話は開くず7.6むンチのディスプレむを備えるこずになり、これは最新のiPhone 18 Proず比范しお80%も倧きい。

Thanks to this, the Apple Pencil, which was previously limited to iPad users, will become usable on the phone as well.

そのおかげで、埓来はiPadナヌザヌに限定されおいたApple Pencilを電話でも利甚できるようになる。

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

タヌナス氏は、Duoは「折りたたみ匏電話を䜿う䜓隓を再定矩するだろう」ず述べた。

With the Duo, you can split the screen to use two different apps on the device, or open two windows of the same website to compare prices while shopping.

Duoでは、画面を分割しお端末䞊で2぀の異なるアプリを䜿ったり、同じりェブサむトの2぀のりィンドりを開いお比范買い物をしたりできる。

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

開始䟡栌は1,999ドルで、これたでで最も高䟡なiPhoneずなる。

Regarding the Duo, Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, made the following remarks.

Duoに぀いお、CCS Insightのチヌフアナリストであるベン・りッド氏は次のように述べた。

"It was supposed to be the one thing that always overshadowed Apple's other announcements at this event.

「このむベントにおけるAppleの他の発衚を垞に凌駕する存圚ずなるはずだった。

This device brings a strikingly new design to the iPhone lineup and signals the company's entry into the niche foldable smartphone market."

この端末はiPhoneラむンナップに際立った新たなデザむンをもたらし、同瀟がニッチな折りたたみ匏スマヌトフォン垂堎ぞ参入するこずを瀺すものだ」

Wood noted that while the Duo, which arrived at a price below some analysts' expectations, is certain to see a degree of demand, foldables still account for less than 5% of the overall smartphone market.

りッド氏は、䞀郚のアナリストの予想を䞋回る䟡栌で登堎したDuoには䞀定の需芁が確実にあるずし぀぀も、折りたたみ匏は䟝然ずしおスマヌトフォン垂堎党䜓の5%未満にずどたっおいるず述べた。

According to Mr. Turnas, the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will feature improvements in battery, camera, and performance.

タヌナス氏によれば、iPhone 18 Proず18 Pro Maxはバッテリヌ、カメラ、および性胜の面で改良が斜されるずいう。

Pricing starts at $1,199 and $1,299 for each model respectively.

䟡栌は各モデルそれぞれ1,199ドルず1,299ドルを起点ずする。

Pre-orders will begin on September 12, with the official release set for September 18, while the Duo is scheduled to launch on October 23.

予玄泚文は9月12日より受け付けが開始され、9月18日に正匏発売される運びであるが、Duoに関しおは10月23日の発売が予定されおいる。

The new models are distinguished by their long battery life, with the Pro Max offering up to 45 hours of video playback, and charging has also been made faster.

新モデルは長時間バッテリヌ駆動を特城ずし、Pro Maxでは動画再生45時間、充電も高速化されおいる。

The camera not only produces what Apple calls a "Cinematic Effect" from ordinary videos shot on the phone, but also offers new manual control options and a "Smart Focus Tracking" feature that can keep a single moving subject, such as a child during a soccer match, in focus.

カメラは、電話で撮圱した通垞の動画からAppleが「シネマティック゚フェクト」ず呌ぶものを提䟛するほか、手動コントロヌルの新しいオプションや、サッカヌの詊合䞭の子どもなど動く被写䜓䞀぀に焊点を合わせられる「スマヌトフォヌカストラッキング」も備える。

Apple is further focusing on new AI features for Siri in its new phone, and in an effort to differentiate itself from competitors that are ahead in integrating AI, it is emphasizing privacy and security.

Appleはさらに、新型電話においおSiriの新たなAI機胜に泚力し、AIの組み蟌みで先行する競合他瀟ずの差別化を図るべく、プラむバシヌずセキュリティを匷調しおいる。

Many of Apple's major competitors, including Samsung, Motorola, and Google, have already brought foldable smartphones to market.

Samsung、Motorola、GoogleをはじめずするAppleの䞻芁な競合䌁業の倚くは、すでに折りたたみ匏スマヌトフォンを垂堎に投入しおいる。

That said, Apple is not a company that rushes to adopt new technologies.

ずはいえ、Appleは新技術の導入を性急に進める䌁業ではない。

"Entering the foldable market is a textbook Apple play. It waits for products to iron out the kinks and for the market to show signs of practicality, then steps in and shapes the category," said Dipanjan Chatterjee, an analyst at Forrester.

「折りたたみ匏の投入はAppleの定石そのものだ。補品が問題点を解消し、垂堎が実甚性の兆しを芋せるのを埅ち、それから参入しおカテゎリヌを圢䜜る」ずForresterのアナリスト、ディパンゞャン・チャタゞヌ氏は述べた。

He added, however, that the challenge remains whether demand can be expanded for what is still a niche product category.

ただし、䟝然ずしおニッチな補品カテゎリヌに察する需芁を拡倧できるかどうかが課題であるず付け加えた。

Compared with previous generations, the iPhone 18 is roughly 100 dollars more expensive, a situation compounded by the global memory chip shortage.

埓来の䞖代ず比范しお、iPhone 18は䞖界的なメモリヌチップ䞍足の圱響も盞たっお、およそ100ドル割高ずなっおいる。

Incidentally, the iPhone 17 was priced between 799 and 1,999 dollars, depending on the model.

なお、iPhone 17の䟡栌はモデルに応じお799ドルから1,999ドルの範囲であった。

Earlier this year, Apple announced advances in artificial intelligence, including enhancements to the Siri assistant, and, in its efforts to catch up with rivals in AI, emphasized its commitment to focusing on both privacy protection and everyday convenience.

今幎の初頭、AppleはSiriアシスタントの機胜匷化をはじめずする人工知胜分野における進展を公衚し、AIにおいお競合他瀟に远い぀こうず努めるなかで、プラむバシヌ保護ず日垞的な利䟿性の双方に泚力する姿勢を匷調した。

According to Chatterjee, for Ternus the keynote was a prime opportunity to set the tone for his vision of Apple's future.

チャタゞヌ氏によれば、タヌナス氏にずっお基調講挔ずは、Appleの未来に関する自らのビゞョンの基調を定める絶奜の機䌚であったずいう。

"John Ternus is taking over what is arguably the most successful consumer technology giant of the modern era.

「ゞョン・タヌナスは、珟代でおそらく最も成功した消費者テクノロゞヌの巚倧䌁業を匕き継ぐ。

That is both an advantage and a burden for him.

それは圌にずっお利点であるず同時に負担でもある。

The execution, scale, and monetization that Tim Cook achieved have set a high bar, and Ternus will have no choice but to extend that trajectory," Chatterjee said.

ティム・クックが成し遂げた実行力、芏暡、収益化は高い基準を打ち立おおおり、タヌナスはその流れを延長せざるを埗ない」ずチャタゞヌ氏は述べた。

"But in the near future, when the iPhone — or smartphones in general — cease to be the primary conduit into consumers' world, Apple must sustain its momentum while positioning itself to disrupt itself."

「しかし、近い将来、iPhone、あるいはスマヌトフォン党般が消費者の䞖界ぞの䞻芁な導管ではなくなるずき、Appleが自らを砎壊する立堎を取れるようにしながら、その勢いを維持しなければならない」

Mr. Wood pointed out that while anticipation for Duo was growing, the official appointment of Mr. Turnas as CEO felt "like a smaller topic" than initially expected.

りッド氏は、Duoぞの期埅が高たる䞀方で、タヌナス氏のCEO正匏就任に぀いおは、圓初の予想よりも「話題ずしおは小さく感じられた」ず指摘した。

"This event demonstrates a seamless transition from Tim Cook, and the timing with the iPhone Duo was undoubtedly planned," Wood stated.

「このむベントはティム・クックからのシヌムレスな移行を瀺しおおり、iPhone Duoず時期を合わせたこずは間違いなく蚈画されおいた」ずりッド氏は述べた。

"However, despite the media frenzy surrounding this new device, what will drive the company forward is the overall strength of Apple's hardware, software, and services."

「しかし、この新端末に察するメディアの熱狂にもかかわらず、同瀟を前進させるのはAppleのハヌドりェア、゜フトりェア、サヌビスの党䜓的な匷みだ」
