What to expect at Apple’s September 9th launch event
苹果 9 月 9 日发布会前瞻：有哪些值得期待的看点？
Apple’s September 9th launch event could be one of its biggest in years. It will be Apple’s first event since John Ternus took over as CEO on September 1st, stepping in for Tim Cook, and will likely feature the first models in Apple’s iPhone 18 lineup. That could include the long-rumored foldable “iPhone Ultra,” coming just a couple months after Samsung debuted its own passport-style foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
苹果 9 月 9 日的发布会可能是近年来规模最大的一次。这将是 John Ternus 自 9 月 1 日接替蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）出任首席执行官以来的首场发布会，预计将首次亮相 iPhone 18 系列机型。其中可能包括传闻已久的折叠屏手机“iPhone Ultra”，该机型将在三星推出其护照式折叠屏手机 Galaxy Z Fold 8 仅几个月后发布。
How to watch Apple’s September launch event
如何观看苹果 9 月发布会
Apple’s “Surprise and shine” event kicks off on Wednesday, September 9th, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. It will be livestreamed on Apple’s website, Apple TV, and YouTube.
苹果“Surprise and shine”发布会将于 9 月 9 日（周三）美东时间下午 1 点 / 太平洋时间上午 10 点在加州库比蒂诺的苹果总部 Apple Park 举行。届时，苹果官网、Apple TV 和 YouTube 将进行同步直播。
The iPhone 18 might be a no-show
iPhone 18 可能缺席
Apple usually announces new iPhones at its September event, but the base iPhone 18 might not make the cut this year. It’s reportedly being held until early next year, and it might end up launching alongside the iPhone 18E and an updated iPhone Air. So, if you’re looking to upgrade to one of Apple’s less expensive phones, you’ll likely need to wait a while longer.
苹果通常会在 9 月的发布会上发布新款 iPhone，但基础款 iPhone 18 今年可能不会亮相。据报道，该机型已被推迟至明年年初发布，届时可能会与 iPhone 18E 和新款 iPhone Air 一同推出。因此，如果你打算升级到苹果的入门级机型，可能还需要再等上一段时间。
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could launch with a price hike
iPhone 18 Pro 和 Pro Max 或将涨价
While we might not get a new base iPhone, Apple is still expected to launch its new lineup of phones on September 9th with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Both models are rumored to have larger batteries than their predecessors, and possibly a smaller Dynamic Island. They might even get a variable aperture camera upgrade that’s been rumored for years now. Leaked photos supposedly showing dummy models of the phone also hint at this year’s slate of colors, which could include black, silver, light blue, and a dark cherry purple.
虽然我们可能看不到新款基础版 iPhone，但苹果仍有望在 9 月 9 日发布 iPhone 18 Pro 和 Pro Max 系列。传闻称这两款机型的电池容量将比前代产品更大，灵动岛（Dynamic Island）面积可能进一步缩小。它们甚至可能搭载传闻已久的可变光圈摄像头。泄露的手机模型照片也暗示了今年的配色方案，可能包括黑色、银色、浅蓝色和深樱桃紫色。
Unfortunately, there’s also a good chance the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will get a price bump over last year’s models. Apple raised prices on nearly all of its products earlier this year, and those price hikes might finally reach the iPhone during the September 9th event.
遗憾的是，iPhone 18 Pro 和 Pro Max 的价格很有可能比去年的机型有所上涨。苹果今年早些时候已上调了几乎所有产品的价格，而这种涨价趋势最终可能会在 9 月 9 日的发布会上波及到 iPhone。
Apple might announce its first foldable phone
苹果或将发布首款折叠屏手机
One of the premium phones Apple launches on September 9th could be the rumored foldable “iPhone Ultra.” Images of an apparent dummy model of the folding phone leaked earlier this year, showing a passport-style design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Xiaomi 18 Fold. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has been well received so far, with The Verge’s Dominic Preston saying it “feels like the future.” Will Apple’s first foldable be able to compete, despite being fashionably late?
苹果在 9 月 9 日发布的高端机型中，可能包括传闻中的折叠屏手机“iPhone Ultra”。今年早些时候泄露的折叠屏手机模型图片显示，其采用了类似于三星 Galaxy Z Fold 8 和小米 18 Fold 的护照式设计。Galaxy Z Fold 8 目前市场反响良好，《The Verge》的 Dominic Preston 称其“感觉像是未来”。尽管苹果入局较晚，但其首款折叠屏手机能否具备竞争力呢？
The ceramic Apple Watch may finally return
陶瓷版 Apple Watch 或将回归
Last year’s September Apple event included the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3, and there’s a good chance both watches will get an update again this year. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Series 12 could bring back the premium ceramic case option. Gurman also says the Series 12 will have new band colors and configurations, but most likely won’t have any big redesign. Aside from new cases and colors, Apple might also announce new health features for its wearables, like always-on heart rate sensing.
去年的 9 月发布会推出了 Apple Watch Series 11 和 Ultra 3，今年这两款手表很有可能再次迎来更新。据彭博社的 Mark Gurman 透露，Series 12 可能会重新引入高端陶瓷表壳选项。Gurman 还表示，Series 12 将提供新的表带颜色和配置，但不太可能有重大的外观设计改动。除了新的表壳和颜色外，苹果还可能为其可穿戴设备宣布新的健康功能，例如全天候心率监测。
Apple could launch new AirPods, but probably not with cameras
苹果可能发布新款 AirPods，但大概率不会配备摄像头
It’s been a couple of years since Apple released the AirPods 4, so they’re due for an upgrade and could make an appearance at Apple’s September 9th event. However, Gurman says the camera-equipped AirPods that leaked last month won’t be released until 2027. So, if Apple announces the AirPods 5 at its upcoming event, they’ll likely be an iterative upgrade, potentially including a new chip and some new health sensors.
距离苹果发布 AirPods 4 已经过去几年了，它们确实到了升级的时候，可能会在 9 月 9 日的发布会上亮相。不过，Gurman 表示，上个月泄露的配备摄像头的 AirPods 要到 2027 年才会发布。因此，如果苹果在即将举行的发布会上宣布 AirPods 5，它们很可能只是常规迭代升级，可能包括一颗新芯片和一些新的健康传感器。
