On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its latest generation of iPhones, among which is a highly anticipated foldable model christened Duo.

苹果公司于周三揭晓了其最新一代iPhone,其中囊括一款备受翘首以盼的折叠机型,命名为Duo。

The company's new chief executive, John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook on September 1, promptly unveiled the latest product lineup at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

该公司新任首席执行官约翰·特努斯于9月1日自蒂姆·库克手中接任,随即在公司位于加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的总部揭橥了最新产品阵容。

After unveiling the remaining updates for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods one by one, Ternus turned to the audience gathered in the Steve Jobs Theater and, with the phrase "one more thing," paid homage to Jobs's iconic linea line that the company's late, legendary co-founder had himself borrowed from the 1970s detective series Columbo.

在逐次揭晓iPhoneApple Watch与AirPods的其余诸项更新之后特努斯面向史蒂夫·乔布斯剧院内的在座观众以一句“其实还有一件事”致敬乔布斯那句标志性的话语——而这位公司已故的传奇创始人当年亦是从20世纪70年代的侦探剧《神探可伦坡》中借用了此语。

Ternus declared that this foldable phone could be described as "the largest display in iPhone history, yet it still fits in your pocket."

特努斯宣称这款折叠手机堪称iPhone史上最大的显示屏仍能放进口袋”。

When unfolded, this phone presents a 7.6-inch display, the surface area of which exceeds that of the latest iPhone 18 Pro by 80%.

这款手机在展开状态下呈现为一块7.6英寸的显示屏其面积较之最新的iPhone 18 Pro超出80%

It will also enable people to use the Apple Pencil on a phone, a capability previously reserved exclusively for iPad users.

还将使人们得以在手机上使用Apple Pencil而这一功能此前仅为iPad用户所专享。

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

特努斯表示Duo重新定义使用折叠手机的体验”。

The Duo empowers users with split-screen capability, enabling them to run two markedly different applications in parallel on a single device, or alternatively to open two separate windows of the same website, thereby facilitating a multitude of uses such as comparison shopping.

Duo赋予用户分屏之能使其得以在单一设备上并行运行两款迥异的应用抑或开启同一网站的两个独立窗口藉此实现比价购物等诸多用途

Its starting price has been set at $1,999, making it arguably the most expensive iPhone model to date.

其起售价定为1,999美元堪称迄今为止售价最为高昂的iPhone机型

Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, pointed out that the Duo "is bound to eclipse everything else announced at Apple's event."

CCS Insight首席分析师本·伍德指出Duo势必会苹果此次发布会上的其余所有消息黯然失色”。

"The device injects a singularly novel design idiom into the iPhone line, and it also signals the company's formal entry into the niche foldable smartphone category."

该设备iPhone系列注入了一种独树一帜的全新设计语汇亦昭示着该公司正式跻身于小众的折叠智能手机品类之列。”

Wood notes that although the Duo will undoubtedly find a market, and is priced below what some analysts had anticipated, foldables still account for less than 5% of the overall smartphone market.

伍德指出,尽管Duo无疑将存在市场需求,且其定价低于部分分析师的预期,但折叠机在整个智能手机市场中所占份额仍不足5%。

Ternus proclaimed that the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max have made advancements in battery life, camera systems, and overall performance.

特努斯宣称iPhone 18 Pro18 Pro Max在电池续航摄像系统整体性能方面均有所精进

Their starting prices are $1,199 and $1,299, respectively.

二者起售价分别为1,199美元1,299美元

Consumers can pre-order starting September 12, with official sales beginning September 18; however, the Duo will not hit the market until October 23.

消费者自9月12日起即可预购9月18日起正式发售然而Duo须迟至10月23日方才面市

The new models combine extended battery lifethe Pro Max can sustain up to 45 hours of video playbackwith faster charging capabilities.

新机型兼具长续航能力——Pro Max 可支持长达 45 小时的视频播放——更迅捷的充电性能

Their cameras deliver what Apple claims is a "cinematic effect" achieved in regular video shot on a phone, and add manual control options along with an "intelligent focus tracking" feature that allows users to lock focus onto a single moving subject, such as a child in a soccer match.

其摄像头可呈现苹果所宣称的由手机摄制常规视频所达成的“电影级效果”并新增手动控制选项“智能焦点跟踪”功能使用户得以将焦点锁定于单一移动对象譬如足球比赛中的孩童

Apple also used the launch of its new phones to showcase the new AI capabilities bestowed upon Siri, while forcefully emphasizing the paramount importance of privacy and security, thereby distinguishing itself from those competitors that have been more aggressive in their AI integration.

苹果新款手机之发布彰显Siri所赋新AI之能力陈隐私安全之重以别于那些在AI整合方面更为激进的竞争者

Many of Apple's most formidable rivalsSamsung, Motorola, and Google among themhave already rolled out foldable smartphones one after another; yet Apple has never been the sort of company to rush headlong into adopting emerging technologies.

苹果诸多最为强劲的竞争对手——诸如三星、摩托罗拉与谷歌——均已相继推出折叠式智能手机;然而,苹果素来并非那种会贸然采纳新兴技术的企业。

Dipanjan Chatterjee, an analyst at Forrester Research, points out: "The advent of foldables aligns perfectly with Apple's longstanding strategic playbook: wait for the product to iron out its initial kinks, wait until the market shows signs of viability, then enter and reshape the category."

福雷斯特研究公司分析师迪潘詹·查特吉指出:“折叠机的问世苹果一贯的战略打法若合符节静待产品消解初期症结市场显露可行性之端倪继而入局重塑这一品类。”

But he immediately adds that the crux lies in whether it can boost demand for what remains a niche category.

但他随即补充道症结在于其能否提振这一仍属小众品类需求

Compared with previous generations, the iPhone 18 carries a price increase of roughly $100, a rise attributable in part to a global shortage in the supply of memory chips.

相较于前几代机型iPhone 18价格上浮了约100美元其部分成因在于全球存储芯片供应短缺

The iPhone 17, by contrast, is priced between $799 and $1,999, depending on the model.

iPhone 17定价依机型之别介于799美元1,999美元之间。

Earlier this year, Apple unveiled a number of advances in artificial intelligence, including an upgrade to its Siri assistant, and placed particular emphasis on concerns regarding privacy protection and everyday practicalitya move that came just as the company was striving to make up ground in the AI race and narrow the gap with its competitors.

今年早些时候苹果披露了在人工智能领域若干进展其中包括对Siri助手的升级并着重强调了对隐私保护与日常实用性的关切此举恰逢该公司力图在AI赛道上奋起直追缩小与竞争对手差距之际。

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

查特吉称对特努斯而言这场主题演讲乃其得以奠定自身对苹果未来愿景基调的契机。

Chatterjee remarked, "What John Ternus is inheriting is arguably the most accomplished consumer technology juggernaut of our time.

查特吉称:“约翰·特努斯所承继的或许是当代最为卓有建树的消费科技巨头

For him, this is at once a godsend and a crushing burden.

于他而言既是天赐之福亦是千钧之负

Tim Cook attained consummate mastery in execution, scale, and monetization, setting an extraordinarily high bar, and Ternus is duty-bound to sustain that momentum."

蒂姆·库克在执行力规模与变现能力臻于化境树立了极高的标杆特努斯势须赓续这一势头。”

"Yet while he sustains that momentum, he must also ready Apple to disrupt itself in the not-too-distant futurea time when the iPhone, or indeed any smartphone, will no longer serve as consumers' primary gateway to the world."

然而他在维系这一势头的同时亦须令苹果为在不远的将来颠覆自身未雨绸缪——届时iPhone抑或任何一款智能手机都将不再充当消费者通向世界的主要门户。”

Wood notes that, notwithstanding the clamour of discussion surrounding Duo, Ternus's formal accession to the CEO role "felt less" newsworthy than he had anticipated.

伍德指出尽管围绕Duo的讨论甚嚣尘上,但特努斯正式就任CEO一事,却“感觉没有他所预想的那般“具备新闻价值”。

Wood stated: "This launch event signals a seamless transition from the Tim Cook era, and its timing, coinciding as it does with the release of the iPhone Duo, is undoubtedly a meticulously orchestrated move."

伍德称:“此次发布会昭示着自蒂姆·库克以来的平稳过渡而其时间安排恰与iPhone Duo的发布相契合,无疑精心擘画之举。”

"Yet, notwithstanding the media's fervent pursuit of this new device, what ultimately propels Apple forward is the synergistic triad of its hardware, software, and services."

然而尽管媒体对这款新设备趋之若鹜真正驱动苹果砥砺前行的,终究是其硬件软件与服务三位一体的综合实力。”
