Every new iOS 27 feature that’s worth knowing about

iOS 27 中值得关注的每一项新功能

While Apple’s new Siri AI and Apple Intelligence announcements dominated the WWDC spotlight earlier this month, the tech giant also packed iOS 27 with a number of upgrades across its everyday apps and services, including smarter bill splitting in Apple Wallet, new ways to share locations in Find My, and improved Apple Maps features.

尽管苹果在本月初的全球开发者大会(WWDC)上发布的新 Siri AI 和 Apple Intelligence 占据了头条,但这家科技巨头还在 iOS 27 中为其日常应用和服务带来了多项升级,包括 Apple Wallet 中更智能的账单分摊功能、Find My 中新的位置共享方式,以及改进后的 Apple Maps 功能。

Apple Maps

Apple Maps

Apple introduced an improvement to “Flyover,” the feature that provides immersive 3D views of cities and landmarks. The feature has been refreshed with more detailed visuals and smoother navigation. The company also launched “Local Lists,” a new way for users to discover and save recommendations for restaurants, attractions, and other spots within Maps by seeing what’s trending. This could be Apple’s way to entice users away from using third-party apps for local exploration, like Google Maps or even Instagram and TikTok.

苹果对“Flyover”(俯瞰)功能进行了改进,该功能可提供城市和地标的沉浸式 3D 视图。此功能经过更新,视觉效果更精细,导航也更流畅。苹果还推出了“本地列表”(Local Lists),这是一种让用户通过查看热门趋势,在地图内发现并保存餐厅、景点和其他地点推荐的新方式。这可能是苹果吸引用户放弃使用 Google Maps、Instagram 或 TikTok 等第三方应用进行本地探索的一种手段。

Find My

Find My

Find My is becoming more flexible with new location-sharing controls. Beginning this fall, users will be able to share their location for a custom amount of time, whether that’s a few minutes, several hours, multiple days, or until a specific date and time. Apple is also adding the ability to temporarily pause location sharing with individual contacts until the end of the day. The changes are designed for various situations, like keeping a surprise birthday party under wraps.

Find My 凭借新的位置共享控制变得更加灵活。从今年秋季开始,用户将能够自定义位置共享的时长,无论是几分钟、几小时、几天,还是直到特定的日期和时间。苹果还增加了暂时停止与特定联系人共享位置的功能,直到当天结束。这些变化旨在应对各种情况,例如为生日派对保密。

Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet is getting a significant boost. One of the standout additions allows users to scan receipts using their iPhone camera and automatically split bills with friends using Apple Cash. Powered by Apple Intelligence, the feature can identify individual items on a receipt, calculate each person’s share of taxes and tips, and facilitate repayment directly through Messages or Wallet. Wallet is also gaining support for digitizing physical membership and loyalty cards. Users can simply point their iPhone camera at a barcode or scan a digital card to save it directly into Wallet. Support is extending to Apple Watch, so passes can even be pinned to the Apple Watch Smart Stack for faster retrieval. Travelers will benefit from a revamped hotel key experience. In addition to unlocking rooms and amenities with an iPhone or Apple Watch, guests staying at participating hotels and resorts will be able to access trip details, activity schedules, service information, and real-time updates directly within Wallet.

Apple Wallet 迎来了重大升级。其中一项突出的新增功能允许用户使用 iPhone 摄像头扫描收据,并通过 Apple Cash 与朋友自动分摊账单。在 Apple Intelligence 的支持下,该功能可以识别收据上的单个项目,计算每个人应付的税款和小费,并直接通过信息(Messages)或钱包(Wallet)完成还款。钱包还增加了对实体会员卡和积分卡的数字化支持。用户只需将 iPhone 摄像头对准条形码或扫描数字卡片,即可将其直接保存到钱包中。此支持已扩展至 Apple Watch,因此票证甚至可以固定在 Apple Watch 的智能叠放(Smart Stack)中,以便更快地调取。旅客将受益于焕然一新的酒店房卡体验。除了使用 iPhone 或 Apple Watch 解锁房间和设施外,入住参与活动的酒店和度假村的客人还可以直接在钱包中查看行程详情、活动日程、服务信息和实时更新。

Apple Pay

Apple Pay

Apple Pay is receiving a redesigned checkout experience online and in apps. Users will be able to swipe between payment cards more easily while viewing information such as rewards balances, debit account balances, and available pay-later options. Later this year, Apple says users will also be able to add funds directly to eligible debit cards through Wallet or during Apple Pay checkout. For merchants, Apple is expanding “Tap to Pay” on iPhone with a new feature called “Tap to Share.” Customers can connect directly with participating merchants using a simple tap to securely share information such as loyalty accounts, shipping addresses, and contact details.

Apple Pay 在线和应用内的结账体验经过了重新设计。用户可以更轻松地在支付卡之间滑动切换,同时查看奖励余额、借记卡余额和可用的“先买后付”选项等信息。苹果表示,今年晚些时候,用户还可以通过钱包或在 Apple Pay 结账时直接向符合条件的借记卡充值。对于商家,苹果正在通过一项名为“Tap to Share”的新功能扩展 iPhone 上的“轻触支付”(Tap to Pay)。客户只需轻轻一触,即可与参与活动的商家直接连接,安全地共享会员账户、收货地址和联系方式等信息。

Apple Music

Apple Music

Apple Music is expanding the “Lyrics Translation” feature to support seven additional language pairings, including English translations for songs in French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, and Japanese. “Lyrics Pronunciation” will now help users sing along to songs in languages they may not speak by displaying phonetically translated lyrics across five new language pairings. The “AutoMix” feature, which automatically creates smoother transitions between songs, is being enhanced with more immersive mixes and is expanding beyond iPhone to Apple TV and HomePod. Apple Music subscribers are also getting access to Hi-Res Lossless Audio on Apple TV 4K, allowing users with compatible sound systems to experience studio-quality audio through tvOS.

Apple Music 正在扩展“歌词翻译”功能,新增支持七种语言配对,包括法语、德语、意大利语、韩语、西班牙语和日语歌曲的英文翻译。“歌词发音”功能现在通过显示五种新语言配对的音标歌词,帮助用户跟唱他们可能不会说的语言的歌曲。“AutoMix”功能可自动创建更流畅的歌曲过渡,现已通过更具沉浸感的混音得到增强,并从 iPhone 扩展到了 Apple TV 和 HomePod。Apple Music 订阅用户还可以在 Apple TV 4K 上使用高解析度无损音频,让拥有兼容音响系统的用户能够通过 tvOS 体验录音室级别的音质。

Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts

Podcast listeners are getting a few welcome upgrades. A new “search within show” feature allows users to search directly through episodes of a specific podcast across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and the web. Apple is also bringing video podcasts to both Mac and Apple TV, reflecting the growing popularity of video-first podcasting.

播客听众迎来了一些受欢迎的升级。一项新的“节目内搜索”功能允许用户在 iPhone、iPad、Mac、Apple Vision Pro 和网页上直接搜索特定播客的剧集。苹果还将视频播客引入了 Mac 和 Apple TV,反映了视频优先播客日益增长的普及度。

iCloud Shared Albums

iCloud 共享相簿

Apple is introducing full-resolution photo sharing, support for additional file types, emoji reactions, improved activity feeds, and the ability to view activity on a per-album basis. Plus, new temporary albums are designed for short-term projects and events, allowing groups to collaborate without permanently taking up iCloud storage. Notably, people without Apple devices will also be able to contribute photos through the web.

苹果引入了全分辨率照片共享、对更多文件类型的支持、表情符号反应、改进的活动动态,以及按相簿查看活动的功能。此外,新的临时相簿专为短期项目和活动设计,允许群组协作而无需永久占用 iCloud 存储空间。值得注意的是,没有苹果设备的用户也将能够通过网页贡献照片。

Fitness+

Fitness+

Fitness+ is launching “Strong Through Menopause,” a three-week program featuring guided Yoga and Strength workouts designed to help people navigating perimenopause and menopause build strength, improve mobility and balance, and manage stress. Apple is also adding a new “Time to Walk” episode featuring actor Busy Philipps, who shares personal stories about her experiences with perimenopause.

Fitness+ 正在推出“更年期强健”(Strong Through Menopause)计划,这是一个为期三周的项目,包含引导式瑜伽和力量训练,旨在帮助处于围绝经期和更年期的用户增强力量、改善灵活性和平衡能力,并管理压力。苹果还增加了一期新的“Time to Walk”节目,邀请了演员 Busy Philipps 分享她个人在围绝经期的经历。

All these features are available for developers to test right now through the Apple Developer Program, with a public beta arriving next month.

所有这些功能目前已通过 Apple Developer Program 提供给开发者进行测试,公开测试版将于下个月推出。
