北京時間9月10日凌晨一點(diǎn)，蘋果在美國庫伯提諾市弗林特劇院（Flint Center）舉行發(fā)布會，傳聞已久的iPhone6、iPhone 6 Plus以及蘋果首款可穿戴智能設(shè)備Apple Watch亮相，同時蘋果還在會上宣布6月于WWDC發(fā)布的iOS 8的正式版將在17日開始推送。

iphone6/6 Plus

Technology giant Apple Computers announced at a press event in Cupertino, California today three new products: two new iterations of their iPhone smartphones, the iphone6 and the iphone6  Plus, and Apple's first foray into to the wearable market — the Apple Watch.

Apple senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller took to the stage to introduce the new smartphones — the 4.7-inch screen iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch screen iphone6  Plus.

Both sport a myriad of technology upgrades, from faster WiFi to faster LTE cellular connections. Both phones will launch with the new iOS 8 operating system. (Software updates will go out to older iPhones (the 4S and later) on September 17.)

The new phones come with what Apple calls Retina HD, an upgrade to their current Retina display technology, the 6 supports up to 1 million pixels and the 6-plus up to 2 million pixels.

The new phones are also thinner. On the new 6 Plus, apps can be used in Horizontal views.

Beyond the displays, Apple has put out a new 64-bit chip, the A8, the second generation, which promises to be 25 percent faster in CPU use and 50 percent better in graphics processing. This new processing power is supposedly better in terms of power use. The new iPhones will have better battery life than the iPhone 5S, the company says.

The new iphone6  and 6 plus will go on sale in the US and Hong Kong among other countries for 199 for the 16gb with a 2 year contract and 299 for the 64gb. The 6 Plus will start at 299 with a two-year contract on September 19. Both come in silver, gold and black.

蘋果發(fā)布了4.7英寸屏幕的iphone6 ，它擁有金屬材質(zhì)打造的機(jī)身，相比之前幾代iPhone，全新的iphone6 在設(shè)計上回歸最初，機(jī)身中框部分采用了弧形設(shè)計，類似初代iPhone。和5S一樣，iPhone 6依舊會有金色、銀色和黑色三種配色。

由于機(jī)身變大，為了照顧用戶的操作體驗，蘋果將iPhone 6的電源鍵從機(jī)身頂部挪到了手機(jī)的右側(cè)。不過機(jī)身的厚度不增反降，iPhone 6的機(jī)身厚度只有6.9毫米，這也使得它成為了迄今為止機(jī)身厚度最薄的iPhone手機(jī)產(chǎn)品。

iphone6 的屏幕擴(kuò)大到了4.7英寸，分辨率隨之提升至1334×750像素，換算下來屏幕的像素密度依舊為326，蘋果始終認(rèn)為326 ppi已經(jīng)是人眼的極限，因此新的iphone6 屏幕像素密度依舊從326起跳。屏幕上覆蓋的玻璃蓋板不再是平的，而是2.5D的玻璃，這讓iphone6 的屏幕邊緣是弧形的。

核心硬件方面，蘋果在iphone6 上使用了全新的A8處理器，蘋果稱這顆處理器是第二代的64位處理器，官方的參數(shù)表示A8的處理能力將比之前5S上使用的A7提高25%的處理速度。除此以外A8內(nèi)還集成了一顆協(xié)處理器M8，功能和之前的M7一樣，專為測量來自加速感應(yīng)器、陀螺儀和指南針的運(yùn)動數(shù)據(jù)而設(shè)計，保證低電壓的同時，完成傳感器的運(yùn)算動作。

iOS 8的正式版將搭載在iphone6 上，新的健康應(yīng)用以及全新的推送界面將出現(xiàn)，同時iOS 8將開放第三方輸入法等。9月17日蘋果將向目前能升級iOS 7的產(chǎn)品推送iOS 8正式版，包括iPhone 4S以及iPad 2。

最大的變化來自存儲容量，iphone6 取消了32GB版，加入了128GB版，美國運(yùn)營商兩年的合約價依舊為199/299/399美元，同時iPhone 5S和5C的簽約價將降價到99美元以及0元。

Along with the new iPhones, Apple is pushing a new Apple Pay mobile payment system.

Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice-president of internet software and services, talked about the security of Apple Pay. Credit and debit cards uploaded to the iPhone are iPhone only. Credit card information isn't stored on the device.

"We're not in the business of collecting your data," said Cue.

Apple Pay comes with every iphone6  and 6plus and will start in the US with American Express, MasterCard and Visa.

Daniel Matte, an analyst with Canalys, said that Apple's announcement delivered what Apple needed to deliver and the Apple Watch stole the show.

"On the iPhone side, they delivered what they needed to," said Matte. "I think they're in a very competitive position, putting out two bigger sizes like what the market has been demanding."

 NFC終于出現(xiàn)在iphone6 上，蘋果為此推出了一個全新的服務(wù)——Apple Pay。這是一個近場支付的服務(wù)，通過NFC、TouchID、 Passbook和被蘋果稱為“安全元素（Secure Element）”的東西組合，實現(xiàn)近場支付。

Apple Pay的初期合作伙伴包括賽百味、麥當(dāng)勞、迪士尼、沃爾格林、梅西百貨、絲芙蘭和梅西百貨，當(dāng)然還有蘋果商店。此外，Groupon、Uber和Panera也都整合了Apple Pay，顧客無需輸入任何支付信息便可完成支付。

安全性方面，蘋果表示Apple Pay并不會收集用戶的安全信息，交易完全是在用戶、銀行以及收款方之間進(jìn)行，每次支付的時候會有獨(dú)立的動態(tài)驗證碼。同時如果使用者的手機(jī)丟失，用戶能通過“Find My iPhone”來遠(yuǎn)程鎖定Apple Pay功能。

蘋果宣布這項功能將在10月到來，首先會在美國地區(qū)開始運(yùn)營，蘋果開放了Apple Pay的API給第三方開發(fā)者，相信未來會有更多的使用Apple Pay的軟件到來。

Apple Watch

Apple computer's first entry into the smart wearable device market is a surprisingly comfortable one.

Coming out with two different screen sizes and technically three different models (all together 6), the Apple Watch is quite a sight.

It's not so thick that it stands out; it feels and looks a bit smaller than a standard Casio G-Shock watch. Of course looks are in the eye of the beholder, considering other mobile device manufacturers have made circular watches. Apple's device is "rectangular".

In terms of operation, Apple did not allow the media to play with the device directly. Test devices were only allowed to be worn by the press, with the software demo being played on a loop.

The device felt and looked good, but without a full hands-on test drive with the software, there are still many questions about the Apple Watch.

The new Apple Watch is a square screened device with a sapphire display that provides haptic, or skin-contact, feedback. The watch has sensors on its back to monitor heart rate. The focus of the watch — with so many health and fitness features built in — appears to be health oriented. 

The Apple Watch will go on sale in early 2015 starting at $349.

蘋果在發(fā)布會中所說的Wish We Could Say More就是他們在發(fā)布會上發(fā)布了旗下首款可穿戴智能設(shè)備Apple Watch，它是一款智能手表，蘋果提供給了我們一種全新的操控方式——旋鈕。

Apple Watch模仿了傳統(tǒng)腕表的設(shè)計，不過在機(jī)身的側(cè)面蘋果為其設(shè)計了一個旋鈕和一個按鍵，受限于屏幕尺寸，Apple Watch將很多觸摸操作搬到了側(cè)面的旋轉(zhuǎn)鈕上，使用中可以通過旋轉(zhuǎn)旋鈕完成縮放、上下滑動等操作。而蘋果為了照顧佩戴者的喜好，推出了一大一小兩種屏幕尺寸的Apple Watch。

之前傳聞將使用在iphone6 上的藍(lán)寶石屏幕并沒有出現(xiàn)在手機(jī)上，反而出現(xiàn)在了APPle Watch上，和手機(jī)一樣，手表的屏幕也是2.5D的，手表的表帶可以更換，有6種不同類型搭扣的表帶可以選擇，包括傳統(tǒng)手表型搭扣和金屬表帶。

Apple Watch采用了全新的系統(tǒng)，所有的圖標(biāo)全部都以散落的方式排列，應(yīng)用的界面也更加簡潔，動畫效果也都調(diào)整的更加“圓潤”。從現(xiàn)場的演示來看，Apple Watch的動畫效果非常平滑，相比較手機(jī)，Apple Watch的操作更加簡單。與之前的很多智能手表產(chǎn)品一樣，Apple Watch可以進(jìn)行顯示通知、調(diào)用地圖、控制音樂播放、接收短信并快速回復(fù)等cap自拍。

健康方面，Apple Watch通過運(yùn)動傳感器記錄佩帶著的運(yùn)動情況，通過底部的傳感器監(jiān)控心率，通過iPhone的GPS監(jiān)控運(yùn)動的距離和時長，蘋果為Apple Watch設(shè)計了全新的健康應(yīng)用，可以提醒運(yùn)動、實時推送運(yùn)動信息、記錄和展示運(yùn)動數(shù)據(jù)，并與iPhone共享這些數(shù)據(jù)。

Apple Watch將有三個版本，Apple Watch、Apple Watch Sport以及Apple Watch Edition。手表可以和iphone6 、iphone6 Plus、iPhone 5、iPhone 5C和iPhone 5S連接，手表的起價為349美元，將于2015年年初上市。
