Apple has officially launched its first -ever foldable device, the iPhone Duo.

Priced at a staggering $1 ,999, this premium device is designed to directly compete with Google's
这款高端设备售价高达令人震惊的 1,999 美元，旨在直接与谷歌竞争
newly released Pixel receiver, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
最新发布的 Pixel 接收器（Pixel 11 Pro Fold）。
$1 ,999?
1999美元？
Oh my goodness, Daniel.
噢，我的天哪，丹尼尔。
My wallet is actively crying just hearing that number.
光是听到那个数字，我的钱包就在哭泣了。
That is basically the price of a decent used car or a very luxurious holiday.
那基本上是一辆不错的二手车或是一次非常奢华的度假的价格。
Why on earth is this device so incredibly expensive?
究竟为什么这款设备会如此极其昂贵？
Well, foldable technology is incredibly complex to manufacture.
嗯，折叠屏技术的制造非常复杂。
The iPhone Duo features a state -of -the -art flexible OLED display with ultra -thin glass, a custom
iPhone Duo 采用先进的柔性 OLED 显示屏和超薄玻璃，配有定制
-engineered dual -hinge system that Apple claims makes the screen crease virtually invisible, and
设计的双铰链系统，苹果声称该系统使屏幕折痕几乎不可见，并且
their latest most powerful A20 Pro chip.
配备了他们最新、最强大的 A20 Pro 芯片。
It is essentially two high -end iPhones fused into one seamless folding experience.
它本质上是将两部高端 iPhone 融合为一种无缝的折叠体验。
I see.
我明白了。
But is it actually durable, Daniel?
但它真的耐用吗，丹尼尔？
I remember when the very first foldable phones came out a few years ago, they were famously fragile.
我记得几年前第一批折叠屏手机问世时，它们是出了名的脆弱。
If you got a single speck of dust in the hinge, the whole screen would crack, and your expensive
如果铰链里掉进一小粒微尘，整个屏幕就会开裂，而你昂贵的
phone was ruined.
手机就毁了。
That is a very valid point, Zoe.
这是一个非常合理的观点，佐伊。
Apple claims they have solved those durability concerns by using a new impact -resistant protective
苹果声称他们通过使用全新的抗冲击保护，解决了有关耐用性的担忧
layer and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
防护层以及 IP68 级别的防水防尘抗性等级。
This means the phone can actually survive being submerged in water.
这意味着这款手机实际上可以在浸泡在水中时幸存下来。
To make that high price tag a little easier to digest, major cellular networks like T -Mobile, AT &T,
为了让高昂的价格稍微更容易被消化，像 T-Mobile、AT&T 这样的大型移动网络运营商，
and Verizon are already launching aggressive promotions, offering up to $1 ,200 off if you trade in
和 Verizon 已经推出了激进的促销活动，如果你以旧换新，最高可享受 1,200 美元的优惠
an eligible older phone.
一部符合条件的旧手机。
Ah, the classic trade -in hook.
啊 ，典型的以旧换新噱头。
But speaking of cellular carriers, didn't T -Mobile just announce a rather controversial new monthly
但说到移动运营商，T-Mobile 最近不是刚刚宣布了一项相当有争议的新月费吗
fee connected to Apple software?
这项关联到 Apple 软件的费用？
They did indeed.
他们确实这么做了。
T -Mobile announced that starting next week, they will charge users $5 per month to use Apple's new
T-Mobile 宣布从下周开始，他们将向使用 Apple 新功能的增值用户每月收取 5 美元
cellular handoff feature.
蜂窝网络接力功能。
Wait, let us pause for a second for our English learners.
等等，让我们 为英语学习者暂停一下。
What does the term handoff actually mean in this context?
handoff 这个词在这个语境下究竟是什么意思？
It sounds like passing a ball in a sports game.
这听起来就像在体育比赛中传球。
That is actually a perfect metaphor, Zoe.
佐伊，这实际上是一个非常完美的比喻。
It is exactly like passing a relay baton.
这完全就像是在传递接力棒。
Handoff is an Apple feature that allows you to start a task on one device, like typing an email on
“接力”是 Apple 的一项功能，它允许你在一个设备上开始一项任务，比如在
your iPhone, and then instantly pass it to another device, like your iPad or Mac, so you can
你的 iPhone 上撰写邮件，然后即时地将其传递给另一个设备，比如 iPad 或 Mac，这样你就可以
continue working right where you left off.
在刚才中断的地方继续工作。
In the new iOS 27, Apple updated this so you can share your active phone number and tasks across two
在全新的 iOS 27 中，Apple 更新了此功能，你可以跨越两部设备共享你活跃的电话号码和任务
different iPhones at the same time.
同时在不同的 iPhone 上。
But T -Mobile is the first carrier to decide that utilizing this over cellular networks will cost you
但 T-Mobile 是第一家决定在蜂窝网络上利用此功能将需要你
an extra $5 a month.
每月额外的 5 美元。
Wow, paying a monthly fee just to let your two phones talk to each other over cellular data feels
哇，仅仅为了让你的两部手机通过蜂窝数据互相通信就付月费，感觉
like a bit of a cash grab.
有点像是在敛财。
I think many users might just stick to local Wi -Fi to keep that feature free.
我想许多用户可能会坚持使用本地 Wi-Fi 来保持该功能的免费使用。
It has certainly sparked a lot of criticism online.
这无疑在网上引发了大量批评。
Now let us move to our second major story, which also comes from Apple.
现在让我们转到第二个重大的新闻，这也来自 Apple。
Their new Apple Watch Series 12 has officially been unveiled, but it is causing a massive debate
全新的 Apple Watch Series 12 已正式亮相，但它引发了一场巨大的争议
among privacy advocates because of its new audio intelligence features.
在隐私倡导者之间，因为其全新的语音智能功能。
Audio intelligence?
语音智能？
Let me guess, is this a polite corporate way of saying that the watch is constantly listening to
让我猜猜，这是不是公司一种礼貌的表达方式，意思是手表在持续不断地倾听
everything we say?
我们所说的一切？
In simple terms, yes.
用简单的表述来说，是的。
The Series 12 features a tool called Siri Recap.
Series 12 包含一个名为 Siri 回顾 的工具。
The watch's microphone is designed to constantly listen to your ambient environment and
手表的麦克风旨在不断监听你周围环境的环境和
conversations throughout the day.
全天发生的对话。
It then uses artificial intelligence to automatically create text summaries of your daily
然后它利用人工智能自动地生成你日常
conversations, reminding you of tasks, appointments, or names you mentioned.
对话的文本摘要，提醒你任务、预约或你提及的姓名。
Okay, that sounds like a science fiction movie.
好吧，这听起来像是一部科学幻想电影。
A wearable device that records everything I say and summarizes my private conversations?
一个能够记录我说的一切并总结我私密对话的可穿戴的设备？
Critics calling it a mass surveillance nightmare do not surprise me at all.
批评人士称其为大规模监控噩梦，对此我一点也不感到意外。
How does Apple defend this?
Apple 是如何为此辩护的？
Apple's defense relies on a very important technical concept called on -device processing.
Apple 的辩护依赖于一个非常重要的技术概念，称为端侧处理。
On -device processing.
端侧处理。
Let us explain that term.
让我们解释一下那个术语。
What is the difference between on -device processing and cloud processing, and why is it so important
端侧处理和云端处理之间有什么区别，为什么它对
for our privacy?
我们的隐私如此重要？
It is a vital distinction, Zoe.
佐伊，这是一个至关重要的区别。
Traditional AI voice assistants send your audio recordings over the internet to massive data
传统 AI 语音助手将你的音频录音通过互联网发送到海量的数据
centers, which we call the cloud, to analyze and process your words.
也就是我们所说的云端，来分析和处理你的话语。
With on -device processing, your Apple Watch has an incredibly powerful neural processor built
通过设备端处理，你的 Apple Watch 内置了一个极其强大的神经处理器
directly into its hardware.
直接内置于其硬件中。
The audio is captured, analyzed, and converted into text summaries entirely inside the watch itself.
音频完全在手表内部被捕获、分析并转换为文本摘要。
The raw audio never leaves your wrist, it is never sent to the cloud, and Apple has absolutely no
原始音频绝不会离开你的手腕，也绝不会发送到云端，Apple 绝对没有
way to access it.
任何方法来获取它。
Ah, okay.
啊，好吧。
So it's like having a tiny, highly secure personal secretary who lives right inside your watch, and
所以这就像在你的手表里住着一位微型且高度安全的个人秘书，而且
is legally bound by a non -disclosure agreement, rather than an assistant who runs off to tell a
在法律上受保密协议的约束，而不是一个跑去告诉
giant corporate headquarters everything you said.
大型企业总部你所说的一切的助手。
That is definitely more comforting, but I still think many users will feel very uncomfortable with
那确实更令人安心，但我仍然认为许多用户会对
an active microphone on their wrist all day long. Absolutely.
手腕上整天开着麦克风感到 很不舒服。确实如此。
And thankfully, Apple does allow users to completely turn off the feature in their settings.
谢天谢地，Apple 确实允许用户在设置中完全关闭该功能。
It's all about giving consumers the choice.
关键在于给消费者选择的权利。
Now, Daniel, let us shift gears to some lighter, incredibly exciting news for the gamers in our audience.
现在，丹尼尔，让我们转向一些对我们听众中的游戏玩家来说更轻松、极其令人兴奋的消息。

And did I hear correctly that some retailers are already offering secret discounts on pre -orders?

You did, Zoe.
你没听错，佐伊。
Walmart and Amazon have launched pre -orders, and some clever users spotted hidden coupons that take

$20 off the price.
减免 20 美元的价格。

What is VRR, and how does it make a difference to someone playing games on their television?
什么是 VRR？它能为在电视上玩游戏的人带来什么改变？
VRR stands for Variable Refresh Rate.
VRR 代表可变刷新率。
Think of it like a dance between your video game console and your television screen.

Usually, a television displays images at a fixed speed, like 60 frames per second.
通常，电视会以固定的速度显示图像，比如每秒 60 帧。
But during an intense action scene in a video game, the console might struggle and drop its speed to

45 frames per second.
每秒 45 帧。
When the television and the console are running at different speeds, you get screen tearing, where

the image looks split in half, or stuttering, which feels very laggy.
图像看起来分成了两半，或者出现卡顿，感觉非常延迟。
Oh, I see.
哦，我明白了。
So the TV and the game get out of sync, like two dancers stepping on each other's toes. Exactly.

VRR solves this by forcing the television to instantly match its display speed to whatever speed the
VRR 通过强制电视立即匹配其显示速度与主机的输出速度来解决这个问题
console is outputting at that exact millisecond.
在该精确毫秒内主机输出的速度。
It makes the motion on your screen look incredibly smooth and fluid, even if the game's performance dips.
即使游戏的性能有所下降，它也能让你屏幕上的运动看起来极其顺畅和流畅。

This app gives everyday citizens a sense of digital self -defense.
