The iPhone Fold could make concerts even worse

折叠屏 iPhone 可能会让演唱会体验变得更糟

You know the person blocking your view of the concert because their phone is swaying in the air, recording the entire thing? Get ready for the unfolded version of it. 你一定遇到过那种在演唱会上举着手机挥舞、全程录像从而挡住你视线的人吧?准备好迎接“折叠屏版”的他们吧。

This week on The Vergecast, we dive right into the big week of Apple news. First, it’s the refreshed Mac Mini and Mac Studio, as well as the new M6 and M5 Ultra chips. Apple is advertising them all as achievements in AI inference, but we’re skeptical this is more than a marketing ploy for now. Then we get into the newly announced Apple event, why we’re not expecting to see an iPhone 18, and whether the folding phone form factor is really good enough yet for Apple. 在本周的《The Vergecast》节目中,我们深入探讨了苹果公司这一周的大新闻。首先是更新后的 Mac Mini 和 Mac Studio,以及全新的 M6 和 M5 Ultra 芯片。苹果将这些产品统称为 AI 推理领域的成就,但我们目前对此持怀疑态度,认为这更多是一种营销噱头。随后,我们讨论了苹果刚刚宣布的发布会,为什么我们预计不会看到 iPhone 18,以及折叠屏手机的形态是否真的已经成熟到足以让苹果采用。

After that, there’s a lot to discuss about the Meta settlement. Teens are getting a host of new restrictions on their accounts that, truthfully, a lot of adults would love to have, too. But the bigger question is what happens next: Will other platforms be forced to adopt these rules, too? And which rules could actually be implemented by law, should lawmakers ever get their act together? The settlement has a lot of terms that immediately run into the First Amendment. 接下来,关于 Meta 的和解协议有很多值得讨论的地方。青少年用户的账户将受到一系列新的限制,说实话,很多成年人其实也希望拥有这些限制。但更大的问题是接下来会发生什么:其他平台是否也会被迫采用这些规则?如果立法者们能达成一致,哪些规则能够真正通过法律实施?该和解协议中的许多条款直接触及了美国宪法第一修正案的问题。

Finally, we’ve got a packed closing segment: The Hype Desk returns to talk GTA VI and whether it’s going to make us all more responsible individuals, Nilay breaks down how FCC chairman Brendan Carr has infuriated librarians nationwide, and we close out with a Lightning Round on whether Nvidia has saved the US economy, why Fitbit is partnering with Pokémon, and why Waymo is starting to beef with Tesla. 最后,我们有一个内容丰富的结尾环节:“炒作台”(The Hype Desk)回归,讨论《GTA VI》是否会让我们变得更有责任感;Nilay 分析了 FCC 主席 Brendan Carr 是如何激怒全国图书管理员的;最后我们以“闪电问答”结束,讨论英伟达是否拯救了美国经济、Fitbit 为什么要与宝可梦合作,以及 Waymo 为什么开始与特斯拉产生摩擦。
