今日凌晨,蘋果在線上召開了一年一度的全球開發(fā)者大會(WWDC2020),會議全長兩小時,旨在向研發(fā)者們展示蘋果目前最新的軟件和技術(shù)。在會議最后,蘋果還證實(shí)了外界謠傳已久的“換芯計劃”,此后蘋果的Mac系列電腦將棄用英特爾的微處理器,轉(zhuǎn)向自家芯片。
由于全球開發(fā)者大會所面向的是負(fù)責(zé)編寫程序的軟件開發(fā)商,所以此次會議的重心在于蘋果的軟件方面。蘋果在會上發(fā)布了適用于iPhone的iOS14系統(tǒng)以及適用于筆記本和臺式電腦的新版MacOS軟件Big Sur。
以下是此次WWDC大會中的一些亮點(diǎn):
全新的iPhone主頁面
蘋果在iPhone主頁面中推出了全新的“App資源庫”,在這個資源庫中,所有的軟件圖標(biāo)會被自動按照App類型分類,如“健身”、“社交”等,用戶可以更方便地找到他們所需使用的App。
同時,主頁面中也允許出現(xiàn)諸如天氣預(yù)報、運(yùn)動數(shù)據(jù)一類的“小組件”。從前這類信息是被移除在主頁面之外的,現(xiàn)在用戶則能自由地將其組合放置于主頁之中。此外,如果用戶不喜歡蘋果的內(nèi)置應(yīng)用程序,還可以設(shè)定自己默認(rèn)的電子郵件和瀏覽器。
Siri不會再干擾使用
語音助手Siri會以一種更加簡潔的形式出現(xiàn)在蘋果的所有產(chǎn)品當(dāng)中。此前,當(dāng)用戶喚醒Siri后,Siri的界面會占滿整個屏幕,這在一定程度上干擾了用戶使用其他的應(yīng)用程序。在蘋果之后的新系統(tǒng)當(dāng)中,Siri會以一個小圓圈的形態(tài)出現(xiàn)在屏幕頂端,無論用戶在干什么,都不會中斷原來的程序。
手機(jī)也可以是車鑰匙
不久后,iPhone就能當(dāng)車鑰匙使用了,用戶只需在汽車門把手上的傳感器附近輕敲手機(jī),便可以解鎖汽車。如果想要啟動汽車的話,直接把手機(jī)放在車內(nèi)的充電板就行了。不過,蘋果表示,這一功能目前只適用于今年即將上市的寶馬2021 5系,明年才會有更多車型加入。不管是低版本的iOS還是新版的iOS 14,都能獲取“車鑰匙”功能,也就是說,它馬上就要和我們見面了。
更便捷的Airpod
可以說是有史以來首次,蘋果高管在WWDC上提出要對Airpod系列進(jìn)行軟件升級。這款藍(lán)牙耳機(jī)升級之后能在設(shè)備之間實(shí)現(xiàn)自由轉(zhuǎn)換,無需特定的人工操作。換而言之,如果用戶正在拿Mac筆記本聽音樂,同時iPhone又響起了電話鈴聲的話,Airpod可以自動連接到iPhone以供用戶接聽電話。此外,蘋果的Airpod Pro還能讓聲音聽起來像是來自不同的物理位置,就像是帶有3D環(huán)繞立體聲的電視機(jī)一樣,這會大大提升用戶在看視頻時的“在場”感。
Apple Watch更新不多
Apple Watch終于有了睡眠追蹤功能,可以監(jiān)測到用戶的睡眠時長和睡眠深度,只是這項(xiàng)功能早就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在其他同類型的電子手表之中了。更新后的Apple Watch還會自動檢測用戶的洗手頻次,并在用戶洗手之時提醒他們正確的洗手時長。
自研Mac芯片來了
蘋果指出,與此前的英特爾芯片相比,其自研的Mac芯片速度更快、耗能更低,但蘋果沒有在大會上給出太多的詳細(xì)信息。對于換芯后的軟件遷移問題,蘋果表示不必太過擔(dān)心,公司的開發(fā)人員可以很輕易地改寫應(yīng)用程序,以便其在新芯片上運(yùn)行,Adobe和微軟此前采用的也是這種方法。同時,蘋果還會提供一個軟件轉(zhuǎn)換器,即便是沒有被修改過的應(yīng)用程序也可以在轉(zhuǎn)換后照常使用。不過,蘋果并未透露第一代新芯片電腦的具體發(fā)布時間。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Apple opened its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday with a bevy of new features for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users. And by the end of the two-hour presentation, the company also announced its long-rumored shift from Intel microprocessors in favor of homegrown chips for its Mac line of computers.
As WWDC is a conference for software developers, the people who write apps for the iPhone, Mac, and other Apple devices, the emphasis was on software. Apple unveiled new versions of the operating systems running on all its devices, including iOS 14 for iPhones and a new version of its MacOS software for laptops and desktops, called Big Sur.
Here are some key developments from WWDC 2020:
Meet your new iPhone home screen
Apple is revamping the software that runs on iPhones to make it easier to find app icons, with a new app library that automatically sorts programs by categories like fitness or social. Widgets, small displays of information like the weather or sports scores, which were previously shunted off to the side on the iPhone’s display, can now be intermingled with app icons on the home screen. And users can pick their own default apps for email and web browsing in case they have favorites other than Apple’s built-in apps.
Siri will be more discreet
Siri is getting a new look across all of Apple’s devices that will be less intrusive. Currently, when a user invokes Apple’s digital assistant, Siri covers the entire screen. In Apple’s new software, Siri will appear as just a small circle on top of whatever screen the user is already seeing.
Open says me
The iPhone will have the ability to act as a car key. Users just tap the phone near a sensor in the car’s door handle to unlock their vehicles and place the phone on a charging pad inside to allow the vehicle to be started. The feature will only work with the upcoming BMW 2021 5 Series this year and more cars next year, Apple said. The car key feature will be added to the current version of iOS as well as the new iOS 14, so users can access it sooner.
Airpod upgrade
For the first time, Apple executives talked at WWDC about upgrading the software that runs on its Airpod line of earbuds. The upgrade will allow Airpods to automatically shift the source of sounds from one device to another, say, from music playing on a laptop to answer a call on a phone, without the user having to switch the connection manually using Bluetooth controls. Apple’s Airpod Pro model will also get the ability to make sounds seem to come from different physical places, like a TV with surround sound. That can make movies and other material seem more lifelike.
Apple Watch takes a nap
Apple Watch is finally offering sleep tracking, or the ability to measure how long and how deeply a user is asleep, a feature that competitors have had for years. The watch will also try to automatically detect when users wash their hands and provide a prompt for people to wash their hands for the correct length of time.
Let the chips fall
Apple said its new chips would be faster and use less power than the Intel chips it currently uses, but it didn’t give many specifics. The company said developers would be able to easily modify apps to run on the new chips and that it would include a software translator so even unmodified apps would be able to run in some fashion. Apple said Adobe and Microsoft had already created modified versions of their popular apps to run on the new chips. The company did not say when it would release its first devices for consumers and businesses that feature the new chips.
