2018年開始了，在大家的iPhone手機上，關于蘋果公司的各類新聞又再度鋪天蓋地而來。

本周就有報道稱，蘋果已經(jīng)與制造商伙伴就年內(nèi)生產(chǎn)一款6.5寸屏的新iPhone達成了協(xié)議。另外，本周蘋果也澄清了哪些型號的iPhone可以用29美元置換新電池，哪些型號則無法享受這項福利。

蘋果音樂總監(jiān)吉米·艾歐文計劃年內(nèi)離職的消息也讓許多觀察人士感到驚訝。另外，最新爆出的Mac電腦、iPhone和iPad等設備存在芯片隱患的消息估計也會讓很多果粉心中一緊。

在2018年的第一個星期，關于蘋果還有哪些新消息？

以下就是本周最重要的蘋果新聞。

1、據(jù)傳，蘋果已與韓國LG旗下的顯示屏制造商樂金顯示公司簽定了協(xié)議，由后者為其今年即將發(fā)布的一款新iPhone供應6.5寸顯示屏。這款新機也將是蘋果迄今為止發(fā)布的最大的一款iPhone，據(jù)稱該機或?qū)⒈幻麨閕Phone X Plus。另外去年發(fā)布的5.8寸屏的iPhone X也將于年內(nèi)迎來升級，改款的iPhone X仍將繼續(xù)使用5.8寸屏。

2、去年年末鬧出的電池風波迫使蘋果不得不公開道歉，蘋果還向用戶提供了29美元置換電池的選項。本周，蘋果澄清了哪些設備可享受此項服務。據(jù)蘋果官網(wǎng)稱，iPhone 6以后的產(chǎn)品（包括iPhone 8和iPhone X）都可享受29美元的電池置換服務。想置換電池的用戶需攜帶自己的iPhone到蘋果專賣店更換。

3、蘋果音樂負責人、音樂行業(yè)大佬吉米·艾歐文將于今年8月從蘋果公司離職。2014年，他與說唱歌星Dr. Dre共同創(chuàng)辦的Beats音樂公司以30億美元被蘋果收購。而他離職的時間也恰好將是他的蘋果股票完全兌現(xiàn)的日子。

4、據(jù)本周最新消息，蘋果的Mac、iPhone和iPad等設備均存在芯片隱患。隱患是兩個名叫“Meltdown”和“Spectre”的安全漏洞，黑客或可通過此漏洞遠程侵入用戶設備。本周蘋果發(fā)布聲明，稱其正在全力修補相關安全漏洞，并將盡快發(fā)布補丁，使黑客無法侵入相關硬件并盜取用戶信息。

5、本周蘋果收購了加拿大軟件公司Buddybuild，這家公司專門為應用開發(fā)者提供編程工具。Buddybuild團隊將加入蘋果的Xcode工程部門，負責改良蘋果的Xcode軟件開發(fā)工具。

另外，美國科技界的最大展會——消費電子展（CES）于上周日在拉斯維加斯拉開大幕。今年的蘋果依然不會參展，但不少蘋果的第三方配件制造商都會參加此次展會，并發(fā)布大量Mac、iPhone和iPad的最新配件。因此你雖然看不到蘋果的展臺，卻能到處感覺到它的存在。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

As we kick off 2018, it’s perhaps no surprise that some of the biggest Apple news items centered on the iPhone.

The week kicked off in a big way with reports that Apple has signed deals with manufacturing partners to build the company a 6.5-inch iPhone that could be released later this year. It was flanked by reports of Apple clarifying which iPhone models will qualify for the company’s $29 battery replacement and which models will not.

Apple watchers were also surprised this week to learn of Apple Music chief Jimmy Iovine’s plans to leave the company this year, and were likely not too pleased to learn a processor flaw has left their Macs, iPhones, and iPads at risk.

Read on to learn more about the week in Apple as we kick off our first roundup of 2018.

This is Fortune’s latest weekly roundup of the biggest Apple news.

1. Apple is said to have signed a deal with Korean screen maker LG Display to supply 6.5-inch displays for an iPhone planned for later this year. That iPhone, the biggest Apple has ever released, could be known as the iPhone X Plus, according to reports. An update to last year’s iPhone X, which comes with a 5.8-inch display, is also reportedly on tap. That update will keep the 5.8-inch screen.

2. After an iPhone battery kerfuffle late last year forced Apple to apologize and offer iPhone users $29 upgrades on poorly performing batteries, the company this week clarified which devices qualify for the replacement. According to Apple’s site, the iPhone 6 and newer, including the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, are all eligible for a $29 battery replacement. Those looking for a new battery need to bring a working iPhone into an Apple Store and the tech giant will replace the battery.

3. Jimmy Iovine, the head of Apple Music and a longtime music industry titan, will leave the company in August. It’s believed Iovine’s departure coincides with the timing of his shares in Apple fully vesting follow a $3 billion 2014 buyout of the Beats music company he co-founded with Dr. Dre.

4. Apple’s Macs, iPhones, and iPads are all vulnerable to chip flaws revealed this week. Those flaws, called Meltdown and Spectre, could allow malicious hackers to take advantage and hack remote machines. In a statement this week, Apple said that it’s working on a fix to the flaws and will release the patch soon, so hackers won’t be able to exploit its hardware and steal user information.

5. Apple this week acquired a Canadian software company named Buddybuild. The startup specialized in the development of coding tools for application developers. The Buddybuild team will now work in Apple’s Xcode engineering group, where they’ll be tasked with improving the tech giant’s suite of Xcode software development tools.

One more thing…CES, the technology industry’s biggest confab,?kicked off in Las Vegas on last Sunday. As in years past, Apple won’t be at the show. But look for the company to feature prominently in a variety of announcements by third-party accessory makers hoping Mac, iPhone, and iPad owners use their products.
