苹果公司周三推出了首款触控屏 Mac。新款搭载 PROLED XDR 显示屏的 MacBook Pro 提供 14 英寸和 16 英寸两种尺寸,搭载 M5 Pro 和 M5 Max 芯片,并首次在 Mac 上支持触控操作。在印度,14 英寸机型起售价为 349,900 卢比,16 英寸机型起售价为 409,900 卢比。搭载 M5 Max 芯片的版本最高售价达 589,900 卢比。预购现已开放,印度地区发货将于 11 月 9 日开始。
Apple on Wednesday launched its first touchscreen Mac. The new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, runs on M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and supports touch for the first time on a Mac. In India, the 14-inch model starts at ₹3,49,900 and the 16-inch at ₹4,09,900. M5 Max versions go up to ₹5,89,900. Pre-orders are open and deliveries in India begin November 9.
这款串联式 OLED 显示屏峰值亮度高达 2,000 尼特,刷新率范围为 10Hz 至 120Hz。
The tandem OLED display offers up to 2,000 nits peak brightness and a refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz.
苹果还将 iPhone 的“灵动岛”引入 Mac,并设计了新的铰链,使屏幕在触控时保持稳定。目前的 mini-LED MacBook Pro 暂时继续销售。
一天前,苹果更新了普通版 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 和 iMac,搭载 M6 芯片。
Apple has also brought the iPhone's Dynamic Island to the Mac, and built a new hinge that keeps the screen steady when touched. The current mini-LED MacBook Pros stay on sale for now.A day earlier, Apple refreshed the regular 14-inch MacBook Pro and the iMac with its M6 chip.
此次发布距离约翰·特努斯(John Ternus)于 9 月 1 日接替蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)出任 CEO 仅 2 个月。特努斯是苹果内部人士,2001 年加入产品设计团队,曾在史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)手下工作,在掌舵前负责硬件工程。
The launch comes 2 months after John Ternus took over from Tim Cook on September 1. Ternus is an Apple insider. He joined the product design team in 2001, worked under Steve Jobs, and ran hardware engineering before getting the top job.
乔布斯的质疑触控屏 Mac 是苹果高层多年来一直抵制的东西。2010 年,乔布斯认为触摸垂直屏幕会让手臂疲劳,称这一想法“从人体工学角度来看很糟糕”。库克也曾持否定态度。苹果最接近的尝试是 Touch Bar,这是一条细长的触控条,于 2016 年加入 MacBook Pro,后来又被移除。
The Jobs QuestionA touchscreen Mac is something Apple's leadership resisted for years. In 2010, Jobs argued that touching an upright screen tires the arm and called the idea "ergonomically terrible." Cook was also dismissive. Apple's closest attempt was the Touch Bar, a thin touch strip it added to the MacBook Pro in 2016 and later removed.
乔布斯描述的人体工学问题并未改变。笔记本电脑屏幕依然是垂直的,大多数用户仍将依赖键盘和触控板。苹果将这款机器定位给视频、照片和音乐制作等领域的创意专业人士。
The ergonomic problem Jobs described has not changed. A laptop screen is still vertical, and most users will still rely on the keyboard and trackpad. Apple is pitching the machine to creative professionals in video, photo and music production.
触控功能是否值得 35 万卢比的起售价,取决于 macOS 应用在手指操作下的表现如何,而这一点目前仅在苹果的演示中展示过。
Whether touch justifies a ₹3.5 lakh starting price depends on how well macOS apps work under a finger, and that has only been shown in Apple's demos so far.
折叠屏的前车之鉴这很重要,因为苹果另一款重磅新品的表现便是前车之鉴。苹果首款折叠屏手机 iPhone Duo 于 10 月 23 日在印度开售,256GB 版本售价 299,900 卢比,最高配置 2TB 版本售价 449,900 卢比。
The Foldable PrecedentThat matters because of how Apple's other big launch has gone. The iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable, went on sale in India on October 23 at ₹2,99,900 for 256GB, going up to ₹4,49,900 for 2TB.
这是苹果售价最贵的 iPhone,而在印度,其价格比按汇率换算的美国价格高出近 58%。
It is the most expensive iPhone Apple has sold, and in India it costs nearly 58% more than the converted US price.
评论人士称赞了铰链和内屏,但指出应用程序出现卡顿。未更新的应用在 7.6 英寸内屏两侧留有黑边,以较小窗口运行。Gmail、Google Maps 和 Uber 等应用在发布时均未针对该设备进行优化。苹果在 App Store 上增设了“专为 iPhone Duo 打造”徽标,以标识已适配的应用。
Reviewers have praised the hinge and the inner display, but apps have lagged. Apps that haven't been updated run in a smaller window with black bars on either side of the 7.6-inch inner screen. Gmail, Google Maps and Uber were among those not optimised at launch. Apple has added a "Made for iPhone Duo" badge on the App Store to flag apps that are ready.
Duo 开售数小时内,用户开始发布内屏沿铰链中间开裂的照片和视频。许多画面显示屏幕上出现一条亮起的像素线。一位买家告诉 CBS 新闻,手机还在设置过程中屏幕就裂了。另一位用户称,购买不足 24 小时,听到一声巨响,屏幕随即开裂。
Within hours of the Duo going on sale, owners began posting photos and videos of inner screens that had cracked down the middle, along the hinge. Many showed a bright line of pixels across the display. One buyer told CBS News the screen cracked before he had finished setting up the phone. Another said she heard a loud pop and the screen cracked, less than 24 hours after she bought it.iFixit's teardown pointed to a possible cause.
iFixit 的拆解指向了一个可能的原因。屏幕的弧形折痕处紧邻铰链的中心支撑杆,这可能在断裂出现的位置附近形成了应力集中点。
The curved fold of the screen sits close to the hinge's centre support bar, which may create a stress point near where the breaks are showing up.
苹果已承认该问题。公司在声明中表示,知悉“少量” iPhone Duo 机型的内屏显示存在问题,受影响用户应联系 AppleCare 更换。针对这一问题,用户无需购买 AppleCare+ 即可获得更换。苹果未说明开裂原因,也未公布受影响手机数量。
Apple has acknowledged the problem. In a statement, the company said it is aware of an issue affecting the inner display on "a small number" of iPhone Duo units, and that affected users should contact AppleCare for a replacement. Owners do not need AppleCare+ to get a replacement for this issue. Apple has not said what is causing the cracks or how many phones are affected.
苹果在同一份声明中还强调了需求旺盛,称 Duo 早期市场反响非常积极,开发者正在快速更新应用。另有消息称,苹果已将向供应商下达的 Duo 订单量提高 40% 以上。
Apple also used the statement to highlight demand, saying early response to the Duo has been very positive and that developers are quickly updating their apps. Separately, Apple has reportedly raised Duo orders with suppliers by more than 40%.The cracks add to other durability questions.
开裂问题增加了其他耐用性疑虑。在 JerryRigEverything 的弯曲测试中,内屏留下了永久性的绿线。
In a JerryRigEverything bend test, the inner display was left with permanent green lines.
其他耐久性测试发现,铰链在经历数千次折叠后仍能保持完整,尽管反复使用会使折痕加深。这说明了什么——关于 Ternus Ternus 是一名硬件工程师,两次发布均以硬件为主导。两种情况下,苹果都是先行出货,随后让开发者跟进。苹果已承认 Duo 的屏幕问题,但未说明原因。对于这位在乔布斯手下学习执掌公司的 CEO 来说,他上任头几个月的两大产品分别是一款应用尚未准备好的手机和一款乔布斯曾反对的 Mac。
Other endurance tests found the hinge held up after thousands of folds, though the crease got deeper with repeated use. What it Says About TernusTernus is a hardware engineer, and both launches lead with hardware. In both cases Apple has shipped the device first and left developers to catch up. Apple has acknowledged the Duo's screen issue, but has not explained its cause. For a CEO who learnt the job under Jobs, the 2 biggest products of his first months are a phone that apps aren't ready for and a Mac that Jobs argued against.
