It’s a huge announcement for Apple, and we have many feelings about it. Here’s our gut reactions to the phone. And let us know in the comments what you think! 这对苹果来说是一个重大的发布,我们对此有很多想法。以下是我们对这款手机的第一直觉反应。也欢迎在评论区告诉我们你的看法!
The Duo name is good
“Duo”这个名字起得好
I think iPhone Duo is the perfect name for Apple’s foldable. Two screens, Duo. Two back cameras, Duo. (I imagine a future version will get three, but right now we have two.) Duo is a concise three letters, putting it in line with other memorable Apple monikers like Air, Pro, Max, and Neo. Though somewhere at Microsoft, I am sure someone is fuming. —Jay Peters, senior reporter 我认为 iPhone Duo 是苹果折叠屏手机的完美命名。两块屏幕,Duo;两个后置摄像头,Duo。(我想未来版本可能会有三个,但目前我们有两个。)Duo 这个词简洁明了,只有三个字母,与 Air、Pro、Max 和 Neo 等其他令人印象深刻的苹果命名风格保持了一致。不过,我敢肯定微软的某个人现在一定气坏了。——高级记者 Jay Peters
It’s too expensive
它太贵了
I’ve never wanted a new iPhone more. As an iPad Mini stan, it is the ideal device for me. The size, the form factor, the multitasking possibilities. But I won’t be buying it. It’s just too expensive. [Ed. note: The phone starts at $1,999.] —Jennifer Tuohy, senior reviewer 我从未如此渴望过一款新 iPhone。作为 iPad Mini 的忠实粉丝,这对我来说是理想的设备。它的尺寸、外形以及多任务处理的可能性都非常吸引我。但我不会买它,因为它实在太贵了。[编者注:该手机起售价为 1,999 美元。]——高级评测员 Jennifer Tuohy
Bye-bye, iPad Mini
再见,iPad Mini
The Apple Pencil support makes the Duo an iPad Mini killer and the perfect on-the-go sketchbook for digital artists. —Kevin McShane, editorial director, audio & video 对 Apple Pencil 的支持使 Duo 成为 iPad Mini 的终结者,也是数字艺术家随身携带的完美速写本。——音视频编辑总监 Kevin McShane
It’s the opposite of what I need and I’m mad that I want it
它与我的需求背道而驰,但我竟然想要它,这让我很生气
A folding phone sounds great, and I dig the form factor of the iPhone Duo. As my eyes get worse, I want a bigger phone, but I don’t want to carry a bigger phone. But if I’m real with myself, I don’t need to spend more time looking at my screen, and I don’t want to downgrade my camera system either. I am a bad photographer who has fast-moving kids and puppies, and I’m not willing to give up the telephoto lens on my 17 Pro. Maybe I’ll get some reading glasses. —Nathan Edwards, senior reviews editor 折叠屏手机听起来很棒,我很喜欢 iPhone Duo 的外形。随着视力下降,我想要一部更大的手机,但我又不想携带笨重的设备。但说实话,我并不需要花更多时间盯着屏幕,也不想牺牲我的相机系统。我是一个摄影技术很烂的人,家里还有好动的小孩和幼犬,我不愿意放弃我 17 Pro 上的长焦镜头。也许我该去配副老花镜了。——高级评测编辑 Nathan Edwards
Disrupting TikTok?
颠覆 TikTok?
If Apple takes foldables beyond niche, the new 1.4:1 aspect ratio (a far superior ratio!) might change how content creators operate. Seriously, that is a far more reasonable aspect ratio, especially for portraits, and, strangely, it might be the thing that I’m most excited about with the Duo. —Marina Galperina, senior tech editor 如果苹果能让折叠屏手机走出小众市场,那么全新的 1.4:1 纵横比(这比例好太多了!)可能会改变内容创作者的工作方式。说真的,这是一个合理得多的比例,尤其是在拍摄人像时。奇怪的是,这可能是我对 Duo 最感到兴奋的地方。——高级科技编辑 Marina Galperina
Apple is selling me on the passport shape
苹果让我爱上了这种护照式的外形
I wasn’t a big fan of the short and stout foldable look when I saw Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, but it’s starting to grow on me. The iPhone Duo looks like it’s comfortable to hold in one hand (which could mean no more dropping my phone on my face while lying down), and its thin profile makes it look pleasant to carry around in a purse. —Emma Roth, news writer 当我看到三星 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra 时,我并不喜欢那种短粗的折叠外观,但现在我开始慢慢接受了。iPhone Duo 看起来单手握持很舒适(这意味着躺着玩手机时再也不会砸到脸了),而且它纤薄的外形放在包里携带也很方便。——新闻撰稿人 Emma Roth
Love the bigger size, but can’t stop thinking about a crease
喜欢更大的尺寸,但无法停止对折痕的担忧
I find myself using my iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPad more and more for watching TV shows and movies, so having a portable screen that unfolds to something larger is so enticing to me. But I can’t stop worrying about a visible, distracting crease as I fold and unfold it over months of use. I know my eyes (and brain) will attempt to focus on it no matter how slight it is. Maybe the crease will be completely indistinguishable even after over a year, but a minimum of $2,000 is too much for me to take a chance. —John Higgins, senior reviewer, TVs and audio 我发现自己越来越多地使用 iPhone 15 Pro Max 或 iPad 来观看电视节目和电影,所以拥有一块可以展开变大的便携屏幕对我来说非常有吸引力。但我无法停止担心,在几个月的使用过程中,反复折叠和展开会产生可见且令人分心的折痕。我知道,无论折痕多么轻微,我的眼睛(和大脑)都会不由自主地去关注它。也许一年后折痕依然难以察觉,但至少 2,000 美元的价格让我不敢冒险。——电视与音频高级评测员 John Higgins
Apple and Samsung had the same idea
苹果和三星想到一块儿去了
The Duo is similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 in more ways than just its passport-ish size and shape. Both phones have prioritized solid core performance but use more basic rear camera setups that distinguish them firmly from the companies’ Pro and Ultra models. They’re a close match in price, too, with the Duo only $100 more. That leaves space in the market for Android manufacturers like Xiaomi to come in with higher-specced foldables that place more of an emphasis on photography, battery life, and pro features, leaving Apple and Samsung to make the mainstream play. —Dominic Preston, news editor Duo 与三星 Galaxy Z Fold 8 的相似之处不仅仅在于其类似护照的尺寸和外形。两款手机都优先考虑了稳固的核心性能,但都使用了相对基础的后置摄像头配置,这使它们与各自公司的 Pro 和 Ultra 机型有了明显的区分。它们的价格也非常接近,Duo 只贵了 100 美元。这为小米等安卓厂商留出了市场空间,他们可以推出规格更高、更注重摄影、续航和专业功能的折叠屏手机,而苹果和三星则继续主打大众市场。——新闻编辑 Dominic Preston
