But Benjamin, for our listeners who might not follow every single smartphone release, what exactly
但是本杰明，对于可能并不关注每一款智能手机发布的听众来说，究竟
is the iPhone Duo?
iPhone Duo 是什么？
Great question.
好问题。
The iPhone Duo is Apple's first ever foldable smartphone.
iPhone Duo 是苹果的首款可折叠智能手机。
Instead of a single rigid screen, it has a flexible display that allows you to open and close the
它没有采用单一的刚性屏幕，而是拥有一个柔性显示屏，允许你开合
device like a book.
像书一样设备。
When closed, it looks like a standard premium phone.
关闭时，它看起来像一部标准的高端手机。
But when you open it, you get a much larger screen, almost like a small tablet.
但当你打开它时，你会得到一个大得多的屏幕，几乎就像一个小平板电脑。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
So it is basically a hybrid device.
所以它基本上是一个混合设备。
But foldable phones have been around for a while from other brands.
但其他品牌的可折叠手机已经出现一段时间了。
Why is Apple's entry such a big deal?
为什么苹果的入局会引起这么大的轰动？
It is a significant milestone because of Apple's massive market influence.
由于苹果巨大的市场影响力，这是一个重大的里程碑。
Industry analysts at CounterPoint Research are already projecting that Apple will sell 6 million
CounterPoint Research 的行业分析师已经预测苹果将售出 600 万部
iPhone Duos in 26 alone.
仅仅在26年推出的iPhone双机。
Many experts believe this device marks the beginning of a new design era for the company, which
许多专家认为这款设备标志着该公司全新设计时代的开始，该时代
could fundamentally reshape their revenue streams.
可能会根本性地重塑其收入来源。
6 million units in the first year is a massive number, especially for a brand new product category
第一年6百万台是一个庞大的数字，特别是对于一个全新的产品类别而言
that is bound to be quite expensive.
这注定会相当昂贵。
However, I have to ask, is it really practical?
然而，我不得不问，它真的实用吗？
I mean, are people ready to fold their expensive phones?
我是说，人们准备好折叠他们昂贵的手机了吗？
That is the big gamble.
这真是一场大赌博。
Some tech reviewers are comparing the iPhone Duo to the high -end iPhone 18 Pro, asking whether users
一些科技评论员正在将iPhone Duo与高端的iPhone 18 Pro进行比较，询问用户
truly need a folding screen or if they prefer a traditional, durable design.

But Apple seems confident that this premium design will attract a lot of attention.
但苹果似乎充满信心，这种高端设计将吸引大量关注。
It certainly has my attention.
它确实吸引了我的注意。
I just hope the screen does not crease too much in the middle.
我只希望屏幕中间不要有太多折痕。
That would drive me crazy. Indeed.
那会把我逼疯的。确实。
Durability is always the main concern with foldable screens.
耐用性一直是折叠屏的主要担忧。
We will have to wait until October 12th to see how the public responds to the pre -orders.
我们必须等到10月12日，看看公众对预售作何反应。
Speaking of hardware that you wear or fold, Meta is making headlines with some very futuristic eyewear.
说到你佩戴或折叠的硬件，Meta凭借一些非常未来感的眼镜上了头条。
Yes, indeed.
是的，确实。
Meta has officially introduced its new VR glasses, priced at $1 ,299.
Meta正式推出了其售价1,299美元的新款VR眼镜。

Wow, $1 ,299 is a lot of money for a pair of glasses.
哇，一副眼镜要1,299美元，真是一笔巨款。
But wait, when we say VR glasses, are we talking about those massive, heavy headsets like the ones
但是等等，当我们说VR眼镜时，我们是在谈论那些像我们通常看到的那些巨大、沉重的头显吗
we usually see?
我们通常看到的那些吗？
Actually, no, and that is the most interesting part.
事实上，并没有，这正是最有趣的部分。
This new product is much lighter and sleeker than traditional headsets like the MetaQuest 3.

Some technology commentators are even saying that these VR glasses are what the Apple Vision Pro
一些科技评论员甚至在说，这些VR眼镜正是苹果Vision Pro
should have been from the very beginning. Interesting.
从一开始就应该有的样子。有趣。
So how do they actually work?
那么它们实际上是如何运作的呢？
How do they get all that computer power into a small frame?
它们是如何将所有这些计算能力塞进一个小镜框里的呢？
Well, to keep the glasses lightweight, Meta has offloaded some of the processing power.
嗯，为了保持眼镜轻巧，Meta卸载了一部分处理能力。
That is where the Muse Charm pendant comes in.
这就是“缪斯魅力”吊坠派上用场的地方。
It is a small device you wear around your neck that houses the AI processor and battery, connecting
这是一个你戴在脖子上的小设备，它容纳了AI处理器和电池，连接...
wirelessly to the glasses.
无线连接到眼镜。
Oh, that makes sense.
哦，这很有道理。
It is like having a tiny, stylish computer dangling from your neck to keep your face comfortable.
这就像有一个小巧、时尚的电脑从你的脖子上悬挂下来，以保持你的脸部舒适。
But Benjamin, you mentioned an active gaming strap.
但是本杰明，你提到了一个动感游戏带。
What is that about? Right.
那是怎么回事？没错。
Since these glasses are light and look more like regular sunglasses, they could easily slip off your
由于这些眼镜很轻，看起来更像普通太阳镜，它们很容易从你的...
face if you are moving around.
如果你四处走动，脸上就会滑落。
The active VR gaming strap is a special accessory that secures the glasses to your head during high
这款动感VR游戏带是一个特殊的配件，能在...期间将眼镜固定在你的头部
-energy games, so you do not accidentally throw your $1 ,200 glasses across the room while playing.
-能量游戏中，这样你在玩的时候就不会不小心把1,200美元的眼镜扔到房间各处。
That sounds extremely necessary.
听起来这极其必要。
I can already picture myself losing a pair during a virtual tennis match.
我已经能想象到自己在虚拟网球比赛中弄丢一副眼镜的情景了。
It is fascinating to see how the design of virtual reality is shifting from heavy helmets to
看到虚拟现实的设计如何从笨重的头盔转变为...，真是令人着迷
stylish, everyday accessories. Absolutely.
时尚的日常配饰。绝对如此。
It is all about making the technology invisible and integrated into our daily lives.
这一切都是为了让技术隐形并融入我们的日常生活。
Now, let us shift our focus from hardware to software.
现在，让我们将注意力从硬件转移到软件上。
OpenAI is reportedly planning to change the way we interact with our computers and smartphones.
据报道，OpenAI正计划改变我们与电脑和智能手机交互的方式。
That is correct, Chloe.
说得对，克洛伊。
OpenAI has introduced several new features that are directly targeting the traditional App Store model.
OpenAI 推出了一些直接针对传统应用商店模式的新功能。
The centerpiece of this update is a new feature called ChatGPT Space.
这次更新的核心是一个名为 ChatGPT Space 的新功能。
It is designed to be a shared hub for work projects and personal AI agents.
它被设计成工作项目和个人人工智能代理的共享中心。
A shared hub for AI agents?
人工智能代理的共享中心？
That sounds a bit complex.
听起来有点复杂。
Could you explain what that actually means in plain English?
你能用浅显易懂的英语解释那到底是什么意思吗？
Of course.
当然。
Think of it this way.
这样想吧。
Currently, if you want to plan a vacation, you might open a travel app, a map app, a calendar app,
目前，如果你想计划一次假期，你可能会打开一个旅游应用、一个地图应用、一个日历应用，
and a messaging app.
以及一个即时通讯应用。
You have to jump between all of them.
你不得不在这之间来回跳转。
With ChatGPT Space, you do not need to open different apps.
有了 ChatGPT Space，你就不需要打开不同的应用了。
Instead, you have personal AI agents inside a single shared space.
相反，你在一个单一的共享空间内拥有个人的 AI 代理。
You just tell the AI what you want, and it coordinates all those tasks for you in one place. Ah.
你只需要告诉 AI 你想要什么，它就会在一个地方为你协调所有这些任务。啊。
So instead of me visiting different shops in a digital mall, I have a personal assistant who goes to
所以，与其让我去数字商场的不同店铺，不如说我有一个个人助理，他替我
all the shops for me and brings everything back to my desk. Exactly.
去所有的店铺并把所有东西带回我的桌子上。完全正确。
That is a perfect metaphor.
这是一个完美的比喻。
Consequently, tech experts are saying that ChatGPT is starting to look less like a simple chatbot
因此，科技专家们表示，ChatGPT 开始看起来越来越不像一个简单的聊天机器人，
and more like a complete operating system.
而更像是一个完整的操作系统。
That is a bold move.
这是一个大胆的举动。
If people start using ChatGPT for everything, they might stop downloading new apps from traditional
如果人们开始把 ChatGPT 用于一切，他们可能会停止从传统渠道下载新应用
app stores.
应用商店。
That could seriously disrupt companies like Apple and Google who control those app stores. Precisely.
这可能会严重颠覆像苹果和谷歌这样控制这些应用商店的公司。正是如此。
It is a direct challenge to their business models.
这是对他们商业模式的直接挑战。
If OpenAI can successfully implement this ecosystem, it could fundamentally change how we use
如果 OpenAI 能够成功实施这个生态系统，它可能会从根本上改变我们使用
computers in the future.
在未来的电脑。
It definitely sounds like a major shift.
这绝对听起来像是一个重大的转变。
We will have to see how third -party developers adapt to this new model.
我们拭目以待第三方开发者将如何适应这一新模式。
Now, Chloe, let us talk about a trend that feels like a blast from the past.
现在，克洛伊，让我们来谈谈一个感觉像是过去重现的趋势。
Do you remember when wireless earbuds first came out and everyone threw away their wired headphones?
你还记得无线耳机刚问世时，每个人都扔掉了他们的有线耳机吗？
Oh, absolutely.
哦，完全同意。
It felt so liberating to finally walk around without a cable pulling at my ears.
终于可以不用忍受电线拉扯耳朵而在四处走动，感觉太自由了。
Why do you ask?
你为什么这么问？
Well, because Bose has just launched a new pair of wired earbuds.
嗯，因为 Bose 刚刚推出了一款新的有线耳塞。
Yes, you heard that right. Wired.
是的，你没听错。有线的。
They connect via USB -C, feature active noise -canceling technology, and cost $99.
它们通过 USB-C 连接，具备主动降噪技术，售价 99 美元。
$99 for wired earbuds in 26?
26年买有线耳机居然要 99 美元？
That seems almost backward.
这看起来几乎是倒退的。
Why would Bose do that?
Bose 为什么要这么做？
It turns out there is a huge demand for them, especially among teenagers and Gen Z consumers.
事实证明，市场对它们有着巨大的需求，特别是年轻人和 Z 世代消费者。
For many young people, wired earbuds have actually become a fashion statement.
对许多年轻人来说，有线耳机实际上已经变成了一种时尚宣言。
They represent a sort of cool, retro aesthetic.
它们代表了一种很酷的复古美学。
A fashion statement?
时尚宣言？
That is hilarious.
这太滑稽了。
What was once a minor daily annoyance is now considered trendy?
曾经微不足道的日常烦恼现在却被认为是时髦的？
But besides fashion, are there any practical benefits to choosing wires over wireless?
但除了时尚之外，选择有线而不是无线有什么实际的好处吗？
Actually, yes.
实际上，有的。
There are several significant advantages.
有几个显著的优势。
First, you never have to worry about charging them.
首先，你永远不必担心给它们充电。
They draw a tiny amount of power directly from your phone.
它们直接从你的手机中汲取微量的电量。
Second, there is zero audio delay, which is fantastic for gaming or watching videos.
其次，音频零延迟，这对于游戏或观看视频来说极好。
And finally, you cannot easily lose one earbud down a drain, because they are physically connected
最后，你不会轻易把一只耳机弄丢进排水沟里，因为它们在物理上是连接在一起的
to each other and your phone.
与彼此以及你的手机相连。
You know, those are very solid points.
你知道的，这些都是非常坚实的观点。
I cannot tell you how many times my wireless earbuds have run out of battery right in the middle of
我无法告诉你，我的无线耳机在……正中间时耗尽了电池，这种事发生过多少次。
a long workout.
一场漫长的锻炼。
But how does the active noise -canceling work on a wired pair?
但是，有线耳机的主动降噪是如何工作的呢？
It works exactly the same way as it does on high -end wireless headphones.
它的工作原理与高端无线耳机完全相同。
The earbuds have tiny microphones that listen to the sounds around you, like traffic or airplane engines.
耳塞有微小的麦克风，可以倾听你周围的声音，比如交通噪音或飞机引擎。
The internal chip then generates an opposite sound wave to block that noise out.
然后，内部芯片会产生相反的声波来阻挡这些噪音。
It is like fighting fire with fire, but with sound waves.
这就像是以火攻火，但用的是声波。
That is impressive, especially at a $99 price point.
这真令人印象深刻，特别是在99美元的价格点上。
Active noise -canceling is usually reserved for much more expensive wireless models.
主动降噪通常只保留在贵得多的无线型号上。
Perhaps I should jump on this trend and get myself a pair.
也许我也应该赶赶这个潮流，给自己买一副。
You might just fit right in with the cool kids, Chloe.
克洛伊，你可能就能完美地融入那些酷孩子们了。
Before we wrap up, let us look at a couple of other interesting updates from the tech and design worlds.
在我们结束之前，让我们来看看科技和设计领域的一些其他有趣更新。
First, Microsoft has officially released Windows 11 version 26H2.
首先，微软正式发布了Windows 11 26H2版本。
Microsoft is calling this a predictable and low -disruption update.
微软称这是一次可预测且低干扰的更新。
The good news for users is that there are no compatibility concerns, meaning your current apps
对用户来说好消息是没有兼容性方面的顾虑，意味着你当前的应用程序
should work perfectly after the update.
在更新后应该能完美运行。
That is a relief.
这真让人宽慰。
No one likes an update that breaks their favorite software.
没有人喜欢会破坏他们喜爱的软件的更新。
Very true.
确实如此。
And finally, on the luxury design front, Alfa Romeo has unveiled a stunning new version of its 33
最后，在奢侈品设计方面，阿尔法·罗密欧揭幕了其33系列的一个惊艳新版本
Stradale sports car, called the Perlinera.
Stradale运动汽车，名为Perlinera。
What makes it special is that they strip the paint completely off the body, leaving a stunning all
它的特别之处在于，他们把车身上的漆完全剥离，留下了一个惊艳的全部
-black carbon fiber finish. Wow.
-黑色碳纤维饰面。哇。
A car with no paint?
一辆没有漆的车？
Just raw carbon fiber?
只有原始的碳纤维？
That must look incredibly sleek and aggressive.
那看起来一定极其流畅且充满攻击性。
It is amazing how removing something can actually make a product look more premium.
