Apple unveiled new ways to discover and organize apps, confirmed a significant change under the hood of Mac computers and announced a new feature that will let users unlock their cars with their smartphones.
苹果公司公布了发现和整理应用程序的新方法,证实了苹果电脑内部的一项重大变化,并宣布了一个新功能,用户可以用智能手机解锁自己的车。
The updates, announced at Apple (AAPL)'s annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, highlight the company's continued effort to insert itself into seemingly every corner of our lives, from our cars and living rooms to our personal health, while also confronting the potential for app fatigue more than a decade after the App Store launched.
周一,在苹果公司年度全球开发人员大会上,这些更新彰显了该公司将产品融入我们生活各个角落的不懈努力,从我们的车、客厅到个人健康都有涉足。苹果应用商店推出已有十多年,该公司也是在应对可能会出现的应用程序不景气的情况。
The company kicked off the event by focusing on iOS 14, the upcoming operating system for the iPhone. As part of its presentation, Apple unveiled a new feature called App Library, which automatically organizes the apps on your homescreen so you don't have to scroll through several pages.
苹果公司以iOS 14作为发布会的开场,这是即将推出的iPhone操作系统。展示期间,苹果公布了一个名为App Library的新功能,它可以自动整理主屏幕的应用程序,你就不需要滚动好几个页面了。
Apple also unveiled a more seamless way to discover and access new apps. The feature, called App Clips, offers a small part of an app for use at the moment it's needed, whether it's for ordering a scooter on demand or food from a restaurant. These apps are small in size and integrate with Apple Pay. Users can then decide to download the full version of the app from the App Store.
苹果也公布了发现和访问新应用程序的更流畅的方法。这款功能叫App Clips,在需要时只开启一款应用的部分功能,可以按需订购滑板车或从餐馆订购食物。这些应用所占空间小,并与Apple Pay进行了整合。用户可以决定是否要从苹果应用商店下载该应用的完整版。
At the same time, Apple attempted to demonstrate the still untapped potential of the iPhone, which remains its chief moneymaker. Having already turned the iPhone into a digital credit card, Apple now has plans to make it a digital car key. A new feature, called CarKey, will initially be available with the new 2021 BMW 5 series.
同时,苹果试图展示iPhone尚未开发的功能,iPhone仍然是苹果公司的主要赚钱项目。苹果已经把iPhone变成了电子信用卡,现在又计划把它变成电子汽车钥匙。2021年新款的宝马5系将搭载CarKey这一新功能。
