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

苹果公司于周三推出了其最新一代iPhone,其中涵盖一款备受瞩目的折叠机型,命名为Duo。

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

该公司新任首席执行官约翰·特努斯于9月1日从蒂姆·库克手中接任,并在公司位于加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的总部介绍了最新产品阵容。

After going through 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," paying tribute to Jobs's signature phraseone that the company's late legendary founder had himself borrowed from the 1970s detective series Columbo.

在逐一介绍完iPhoneApple Watch和AirPods的其他更新特努斯史蒂夫·乔布斯剧院内的观众说,“其实还有一件事”,以此乔布斯的标志性用语致敬——这位公司已故传奇创始人自己也是20世纪70年代侦探剧《神探可伦坡》借用了这句话。

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

特努斯表示这款折叠手机搭载了iPhone史上最大的显示屏却仍能放进口袋”。

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

这款手机在展开状态下呈现为一块7.6英寸的显示屏较之最新的iPhone 18 Pro足足大了80%

In addition, it will allow users to use the Apple Pencil on the phone, a feature that had previously been exclusive to iPad users.

此外,它还将允许用户在手机上使用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 gives users a split-screen feature, enabling them to run two different apps side by side on the same device, or to open two windows of the same website at once, which makes tasks such as comparison shopping more convenient.

Duo赋予用户分屏功能使其能够在同一设备上并行运行两款不同的应用程序同时开启同一网站的两个窗口以便于进行比价购物等操作

The model starts at $1,999, making it by far the most expensive iPhone to date.

该机型的起售价为1,999美元堪称迄今为止定价最高的iPhone

Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said the Duo "is bound to overshadow everything else Apple announced at its event."

CCS Insight首席分析师本·伍德表示Duo注定会盖过苹果此次发布会上其他所有消息”。

"This device adds a distinctive new design to the iPhone lineup and marks the company's entry into the niche category of foldable smartphones."

这款设备iPhone系列增添了独特的新设计也标志着该公司进入小众的折叠智能手机类别。”

Wood noted that although the Duo will undoubtedly find market demand, and its price is lower than some analysts had anticipated, foldable phones still account for less than 5% of the entire smartphone market.

伍德表示尽管Duo无疑会有市场需求,其价格低于一些分析师的预期,但折叠机只占整个智能手机市场的不到5%

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

特努斯称iPhone 18 Pro18 Pro Max电池续航摄像头配置整体性能方面均有所精进

The starting prices of the two models are $1,199 and $1,299 respectively.

两款机型起售价分别为1,199美元1,299美元

Consumers can pre-order starting from September 12, with official sales beginning on September 18, while the Duo will not be available until October 23.

消费者自9月12日起预购9月18日起正式发售Duo须等到10月23日方才上市。

The new models offer extended battery lifethe Pro Max can support up to 45 hours of video playbackand achieve faster charging speeds.

新机型具备长续航能力——Pro Max可支持长达45小时视频播放——并实现了更快的充电速度

The camera, meanwhile, delivers what Apple calls a "cinematic effect" derived from ordinary videos shot on the phone, and it also adds manual control options as well as a "smart focus tracking" feature, enabling users to lock focus on a single moving subject, such as a child in a soccer match.

摄像头则提供了苹果所宣称的源自手机拍摄普通视频的“电影级效果”此外还新增了手动控制选项以及“智能焦点跟踪”功能使用户得以将焦点锁定于单个移动对象例如足球比赛中的孩子

Apple also uses the new phone to showcase Siri's new AI capabilities, emphasizing privacy and security, thereby distinguishing itself from competitors who have gone further in AI integration.

苹果还借助新手机凸显Siri的新AI能力,强调隐私与安全,从而与那些在AI整合方面走得更远的竞争对手区分开来。

Many of Apple's strongest competitors, such as Samsung, Motorola, and Google, have successively launched foldable smartphones.

苹果的诸多最为强劲的竞争对手诸如三星摩托罗拉谷歌均已相继推出了折叠式智能手机

However, Apple has never been the kind of company that rushes to embrace emerging technologies.

然而苹果向来并非那种贸然采纳新兴技术的企业

Forrester analyst Dipanjan Chatterjee said: "The launch of the foldable is entirely consistent with Apple's long-standing strategy: wait for the product to resolve its initial problems, wait for the market to show signs of viability, and then enter and shape the category."

Forrester分析师迪潘詹·查特吉表示:“折叠机的发布苹果一贯的策略完全一致先等产品解决初期问题,等市场显露出可行性的迹象然后进入塑造这一品类。”

But he added that the question is whether it can expand demand for this still niche product category.

但他补充说问题在于能否扩大这个仍属小众产品类别的需求

Compared with previous generations, the iPhone 18 costs about $100 more, partly because of a global shortage of memory chips.

相较于前几代产品iPhone 18价格上涨了约100美元,其部分原因在于全球存储芯片供应短缺

The iPhone 17, by contrast, was priced differently depending on the model, ranging from $799 to $1,999.

iPhone 17定价因机型而异从799美元至1,999美元不等

Earlier this year, Apple unveiled several advances in artificial intelligence, including upgrades to its Siri assistant, and emphasized its focus on privacy and everyday usability, as the company seeks to catch up with rivals in AI.

今年早些时候,苹果公布了其在人工智能领域的多项进展,包括对Siri助手的升级,并强调对隐私和日常使用的关注,因为该公司正试图在AI方面追赶竞争对手。

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

查特吉说,对特努斯而言,这场主题演讲是他为自身对苹果未来的愿景定下基调的机会。

Chatterjee said: "What John Ternus is inheriting is perhaps the most successful consumer tech giant of modern times.

查特吉表示:“约翰·特努斯所继承的或许是现代最成功的消费科技巨头

For him, this is both a blessing and a burden.

对他而言既是福气也是负担

Tim Cook perfected execution, scale, and monetization, setting a very high bar, and Ternus must sustain that momentum."

蒂姆·库克在执行力、规模和变现能力方面臻于完善设定了很高的标准特努斯必须延续这一势头。”

"But he must sustain that momentum while also preparing Apple to disrupt itself in the near future, when the iPhone, or any smartphone, will no longer be consumers' primary gateway to the world."

但他必须保持这一势头同时让苹果为在不久的将来颠覆自身做好准备,届时iPhone或任何智能手机都将不再是消费者通往世界的主要渠道。”

Wood points out that although the discussion surrounding Duo was intense, the news of Ternus officially becoming CEO "felt less" "newsworthy" than he had expected.

伍德指出,尽管围绕Duo的讨论十分热烈,但特努斯正式出任CEO一事,却“感觉没有”他预期的那样“有新闻性”。

Wood stated: "This launch event marks a smooth transition from Tim Cook, and its timing, coinciding with the release of the iPhone Duo, was undoubtedly carefully orchestrated."

伍德表示:“此次发布会标志着从蒂姆·库克的平稳过渡其时间安排与iPhone Duo的发布重合无疑是精心策划的。”

"However, despite the media's eagerness for this new device, what truly drives Apple forward is still the combined strength of its hardware, software, and services."

然而尽管媒体对这款新设备趋之若鹜真正推动苹果前进的仍是其硬件、软件和服务的整体实力。”
