Here's everything Apple unveiled at its big iPhone event

CNN

Apple unveiled four new iPhones, a new Apple Watch and new iPads on Tuesday during a virtual media event held from California.

The new smartphones -- the iPhone 13 mini, the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max -- don't include any groundbreaking design changes or features, at least compared to last year's 5G announcement. There was no portless iPhone and no under-display touch ID. Neither was there Apple's once classic line: "one more thing."

Instead, the event marked a return to basics for Apple with predictable improvements that included better cameras, longer-lasting battery and faster processing on its devices. Still, there were some pleasant new additions, including a jaw dropping storage option for the Pro models and a new Portrait mode for shooting videos. And, contrary to some rumors, Apple made upgrades without raising the base price of its various models.

The stakes were high for Apple (AAPL) heading into the event. The iPhone continues to be a major revenue driver for the company and remains central to its ecosystem of products. The event also comes amid some uncertainty: A US judge ruled last week that Apple can no longer prohibit app developers from directing users to payment options outside the App Store. The company is facing antitrust scrutiny from regulators in the US and abroad. And Apple recently confronted weeks of controversy for its approach to combating child exploitation.

On Tuesday, Apple attempted to move past that. Here's a closer look at what was announced:

iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max

The higher-end iPhone Pro line was arguably the highlight of Apple's event, at least among the iPhones. The 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max feature Apple's new, powerful A15 Bionic chip, which Apple said is the "fastest CPU in any smartphone." It will give the iPhone improved machine learning capabilities, such as real-time video analysis and the ability to analyze text in photo.

The Pro devices pack a five-core CPU with 50% faster graphics -- an upgrade that will appeal to many gamers -- as well as a bright Super Retina XDR display with a faster refresh rate, an all-day battery life and an option for one terabyte of storage, doubling the prior maximum storage capacity.

The camera system got a solid refresh, too. It comes with a new 77 mm telephoto lens with 3 times optical zoom, as well as new wide and ultrawide cameras.

The Pro and Pro Max start at $999 and $1,099, respectively. (The iPhone Pro Max with one terabyte of storage costs $1,599.) The phones come in graphite, gold, silver and sierra blue. The entire new iPhone line will start shipping on Friday, September 24.

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini

The 6.1-inch iPhone 13 and 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini come with the same A15 Bionic chip as the Pro line. It also has a dual-camera system, which is arranged diagonally, and features longer-lasting batteries. Apple said the iPhone 13 will last 2.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 13 mini will go 1.5 hours longer on a single charge.

Other updates include a more efficient display, a new 5G chip, and a tool called Cinematic Mode, which is like the popular Portrait mode feature but for videos.

The iPhone 13 mini will start at $699 for 128 GB (more storage for its base model than ever before) and the iPhone 13 will cost $799, starting with 128 GB. The smartphones come in five new colors: pink, blue, black, white and red.

iPad and iPad mini

In somewhat of a surprise, Apple showed off updates to its iPad and iPad mini line. The 10.2-inch iPad features a powerful A13 chip with 20% faster performance than the previous model. Apple says it's now 3 times faster than a Chromebook.

The updated iPad comes with a new 12MP ultrawide camera with Center Stage, which uses machine learning to adjust the front-facing camera during FaceTime video calls, and more accessory support that works with the first-generation Apple Pencil. It also supports a True Tone feature that adjusts the screen's color temperature to ambient lighting.

The 8.3-inch iPad mini now comes with smaller bezels, more rounded corners, upgraded cameras on the front and back, Apple's Liquid retina display, USB-C support, magnetic support for Apple Pencil, an updated speaker system, and new colors, such as pink and purple.

Apple Watch Series 7

Apple unveiled the new Apple Watch Series 7, a slimmer device with a wider screen than its predecessor. The new watch has a display that is 20% larger than the Series 6. It can display 50% more text and also has a full keyboard that you can tap or swipe to type out text messages.

The Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $399 and will be available later this fall.

Here's everything Apple unveiled at its big iPhone event

CNN

Apple unveiled four new iPhones, a new Apple Watch and new iPads on Tuesday during a virtual media event held from California.

周二在加利福尼亚（California）举行的线上发布会中，苹果公司发布了四款新的iPhone，一款新的Apple Watch和新的iPad。

unveil

1）表示“ 为…揭幕；揭开…上的覆盖物；拉开…的帷幔”，英文解释为“to remove a cover or curtain from a painting, statue, etc. so that it can be seen in public for the first time”举个🌰：

She unveiled a plaque to mark the official opening of the hospital.

她主持揭幕式，标志着医院正式启用。

2）表示“（首次）展示，介绍，推出；将…公之于众”，英文解释为“to show or introduce a new plan, product, etc. to the public for the first time”举个🌰：

They will be unveiling their new models at the Motor Show.

他们将在汽车大展上首次推出自己的新型汽车。

🎬电影《复仇者联盟1》（The Avengers）中的台词提到：We look beyond the Earth to the greater worlds the Tesseract will unveil. 而我们则放眼地球之外那些将被宇宙魔方开启的更广博的世界。

🎬电影《超人高校》（Sky High）中的台词提到：We can't unveil the Stronghold Three without Will. 我们不能在威尔（Will）不在场时向大家介绍斯特朗霍德三侠（Stronghold Three）。

新的智能手机--iPhone 13 mini、iPhone 13、iPhone 13 Pro和iPhone 13 Pro Max--至少与去年5G的宣布相比，没有任何突破性的设计变化或功能。没有无接口的iPhone，没有屏下Touch ID，也没有苹果曾经的经典台词，“One more thing（还有一样东西/还有一件事儿）。”

ground-breaking

ground-breaking可以解释为“开辟新天地的，独创的，开拓性的，里程碑性的”，英文解释为“You use groundbreaking to describe things which you think are significant because they provide new and positive ideas, and influence the way people think about things.” 如：groundbreaking research 开拓性的研究。

line

熟词僻义，1）表示“（为达到逗乐、劝说或欺骗目的而说的）话语，词句，言语”，英文解释为“a remark that is intended to entertain, persuade, or deceive”如：a speech full of memorable lines 令人难忘的讲话；

2）表示“（电影或话剧演员的）词，台词”，英文解释为“the words that an actor speaks when performing in a film, play, etc.”举个🌰：

I only had two lines in the whole play.

在整出戏中我只有两句台词。

相反，这次发布会标志着苹果回归本始，有了可预见的改进，包括更好的相机、更耐用的电池和更快的设备处理。不过，还是有一些令人满意的新内容，包括为Pro机型提供了令人震惊的的存储容量的选择，以及用于拍摄视频的新人像模式。而且，与一些传言相反，苹果在没有提高各种机型的基本价格的情况下进行了升级。

long-lasting

表示“持续很久的，持久的”，英文解释为“continuing for a long period of time”如：a long-lasting friendship 持久的友谊。

jaw-dropping

表示“令人惊愕的，令人震惊的”，英文解释为“very surprising or shocking”举个🌰：

The jaw-dropping scale of the project has not defeated those involved.

那个项目惊人的规模并没有吓倒有关人员。

📍jaw表示「下颌，下巴」（the lower part of your face that moves when you open your mouth），jaw-dropping很好记，字面意思就是下巴掉下来，令人震惊，令人惊愕。

📍何同学采访苹果CEO库克文中就提到：Regarding the new ‌Apple Silicon‌ Macs, Cook called the performance of the M1 chip "jaw-dropping," and that "it screams. It's so fast." 关于新的苹果硅Mac，库克称M1芯片的性能“令人惊叹”，“它的速度极快”。

The stakes were high for Apple heading into the event. The iPhone continues to be a major revenue driver for the company and remains central to its ecosystem of products. The event also comes amid some uncertainty: A US judge ruled last week that Apple can no longer prohibit app developers from directing users to payment options outside the App Store. The company is facing antitrust scrutiny from regulators in the US and abroad. And Apple recently confronted weeks of controversy for its approach to combating child exploitation.

对苹果来说，这次发布会的风险很高。iPhone仍然是该公司的主要收入驱动力，并且仍然是其产品生态系统的核心。这次发布会也是在一些不确定因素中进行的：美国法官上周裁定，苹果不能再禁止应用开发者将用户导向App Store以外的支付选项。该公司正面临美国和国外监管机构的反垄断审查。最近，苹果公司因其为打击剥削儿童的做法而面临着数周的争议。

注：2021年8月5日苹果公司宣布，将于今年晚些时候推出照片识别系统，用以监控美国境内用户是否向iCloud上传含有儿童性虐待内容的照片。这一计划得到儿童保护团体支持，同时引发隐私安全争议。

rule

作动词，表示“决定；裁定；判决”，英文解释为“to give an official decision about sth”举个🌰：The court will rule on the legality of the action.

法庭将裁定此举是否合法。

antitrust

表示“反垄断的”，英文解释为“In the United States, antitrust laws are intended to stop big companies taking over their competitors, fixing prices with their competitors, or interfering with free competition in any way.”

scrutiny

scrutiny /ˈskruːtɪnɪ/表示“细看，仔细审查；监视”，英文解释为“the careful and detailed examination of something in order to get information about it”举个🌰：

His private life came under media scrutiny.

他的私生活开始受到媒体的密切关注。

confront

1）表示“面临（问题、任务、困难等）”，英文解释为“If you are confronted with a problem, task, or difficulty, you have to deal with it.”举个🌰：

She was confronted with severe money problems.

她面临严重的资金问题。

2）表示“正视（困难局面或问题）”，英文解释为“If you confront a difficult situation or issue, you accept the fact that it exists and try to deal with it.”举个🌰：

We are learning how to confront death.

我们在学习如何正视死亡。

combat

作动词，常见含义表示“战斗，与...搏斗”，可以指“打击；制止；防止；减轻”，英文解释为“to stop sth unpleasant or harmful from happening or from getting worse”如：measures to combat crime/unemployment/disease 防止犯罪/失业/疾病的措施。

exploitation

表示“剥削”，英文解释为“a situation in which you treat someone unfairly by asking them to do things for you, but give them very little in return – used to show disapproval”如：the exploitation of children 对儿童的剥削。

On Tuesday, Apple attempted to move past that. Here's a closer look at what was announced:

周二，苹果公司试图摆脱这种局面。以下是对所发布产品的详细介绍：

iPhone 13 Pro和iPhone 13 Pro Max

高端的iPhone Pro系列可以说是苹果发布会的亮点，至少在iPhone中是这样。6.1英寸的iPhone 13 Pro和6.7英寸的iPhone 13 Pro Max采用了苹果新的、强大的A15仿生芯片，苹果称这是“所有智能手机中最快的CPU”。它将为iPhone提供更好的机器学习能力，如实时视频分析和分析照片中文本的能力。

arguably

常用于形容词比较级或最高级前，表示“可论证地，按理；可以说是”，英文解释为“used, often before a comparative or superlative adjective, when you are stating an opinion which you believe you could give reasons to support ”举个🌰：

They are arguably the most important band since The Rolling Stones.

他们可以说是自滚石以来最重要的乐队。

📺美剧《脱狱之王》（Breakout Kings）中的台词提到：selling what is arguably the finest upright vacuum 推销现在市面上号称口碑最好的直立式吸尘

feature

1）作名词，原意表示“特色；特征；特点”，英文解释为“something important, interesting or typical of a place or thing”，此前在iOS 14来了!文中就出现了多次的feature，介绍iOS 14各种新功能，新特点，举个🌰：

你挑选轿车时要着重哪些特点？

2）feature作动词，表示“以…为特色；由…主演；以…为主要组成”，英文解释为“to include a particular person or thing as a special feature”，作动词往往可以理解为“有...”（功能/特色），举个🌰：

The film features Cary Grant as a professor.

这部电影由卡里·格兰特饰演一位教授。

📍在英文歌中会经常看到这种说法，xxxa feat. xxxb，此处feat.实际上就是feature的缩写，大概意思是歌曲中穿插另外一个人的演唱或表演，xxxa和xxxb共同演绎，合作演出。据百度百科，feat.的是后面这个歌手（或者组合）他在这首单曲里面或者这张专辑里面并不是主角，前面那个人才是这首歌的灵魂或者主人。
