苹果终于发布了5G iphone……和HomePod迷你

苹果周二更新了iPhone产品线，推出了四款新机型，以及缩小版的HomePod智能音箱。

所有新款iphone都以苹果(Apple)速度惊人的A14仿生芯片为核心，支持所有口味的5G无线连接，并由陶瓷保护层保护，在跌落时保护手机免受损坏的能力是之前型号的四倍。

Moor Insights & Strategy高级分析师马克·n·维纳(Mark N. Vena)告诉TechNewsWorld:“对一些人来说，陶瓷盾牌可能听起来微不足道，但当你能将智能手机的跌落测试性能提高4倍时，这就不是一个微不足道的成就。”

不过，这次发布会的大新闻是，苹果终于制造出了支持5G的iphone。

“这标志着iPhone新时代的开始，”苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克在发布新产品的虚拟网络活动中表示。

他指出，将5G引入iPhone对该产品来说是一个重大时刻。库克宣称:“5G将为下载和上传带来一个新的性能水平，更高质量的视频流，更响应的游戏，实时互动等等。”

“5G网络更先进，延迟更低，网络拥堵更少，所以即使在人口稠密的地区，你也可以获得更高的网络速度，”他继续说道。

“5G甚至有助于保护你的隐私和安全，”库克解释说，“因为你不需要经常连接到未知的、不安全的公共Wi-Fi热点。”

All of the new iPhones are built around Apple's blazing fast A14 Bionic chip, support all flavors of 5G wireless connectivity, and are protected by a Ceramic Shield that protects the phone from damage after a fall four times better than in previous models.

"The Ceramic Shield may sound trivial to some people, but when you can improve the drop test performance of a smartphone by 4x, that's not a trivial achievement," Mark N. Vena, a senior analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, told TechNewsWorld.

The big news from the event, though, was Apple finally making iPhones that support 5G.

"This marks the start of a new era for iPhone," Apple CEO Tim Cook said at a virtual online event announcing the new products.

Bringing 5G to the iPhone is a huge moment for the product, he noted. "5G will bring a new level of performance for downloads and uploads, higher quality video streaming, more responsive gaming, real time interactivity and so much more," Cook proclaimed.

"5G networks are more advanced with lower latency and less network congestion so you can get higher network speeds even in densely populated areas," he continued.

"And 5G even helps protect your privacy and security," Cook explained, "since you won't need to connect to unknown, unsecured public Wi-Fi hot spots as often."
