【双语学习】Iphone X强势来袭，苹果再次惊艳世界

本周，几乎所有人的朋友圈都被一件大事刷屏——苹果8和苹果X系列的产品发布会。虽然价格始终高昂，但苹果手机无论是从硬件和配置来看，还是从其超高的用户体验来说，都的的确确有让人为止着迷的理由。此次苹果为了纪念Iphone只能手机上市十周年而特别推出该款IphoneX，此处X正是罗马数字的“10”。相比一经起售，势必又将掀起一阵苹果购买的热潮。但此次的IphoneX又有何优点和缺点呢？快来和小编一起看看吧。

9月12日，在IphoneX发布会上，苹果公司出了备受期待的iPhone X——玻璃背面和不锈钢机身的完美结合。苹果公司的首席执行官库克表示，“这是我们苹果手机有史以来最大的一次飞跃。”

此次推出的新产品看似没有太大的惊喜，而且依旧在系统上存在一些漏洞。但是如此昂贵的苹果手机依然有很多亮点，吸引大批的潜在粉丝。

 

iPhone X放弃了了标志性的Home按钮，这有利于整个手机前端的屏幕设计，也是苹果手机迄今为止最大的变化。另外，X手机还有一种先进的人脸识别方式，当你查看手机时，它可以通过前摄像头系统来唤醒和解锁手机。

 

Iphone X 的主要特征

1. 3D跟踪技术将用于解锁手机；
2. 显示屏覆盖整个手机前端；
3. 无home按钮；
4. 面部ID解锁电话使用面部识别软件
5. 无线充电；
6. 超视网膜显示支持HDR杜比视觉和HDR10

 

·Iphone X的缺陷

1. 价格:

999美元的价格创下了新的历史记录，令不少苹果粉丝咋舌。

 

2. 玻璃后盖

使用时你需要特别地小心，别忘了这是一笔近一万美元的巨额投资。它虽然有一个坚固的不锈钢框架，但别忘了它还有一个易碎的玻璃后盖。

 

3. ID Touch功能被取消

我们虽然可以接受Home键被取消，但是大多数用户还是认为至少应该保留Touch ID的功能，已成为人脸识别ID的一个备选功能。此次新品发布会上就出现了一个尴尬的画面——苹果的首席执行官在舞台上第一次为公众展示人脸解锁时就没有成功。这也一定程度的显示出也许还应该保留Touch ID以求万全。

 

Iphone8和IphoneX有着炫酷的外形和最具创意的新型设计，同时也有着令人望而却步的价格。面对这样的它们，你的态度是怎样的？准备好要购了嘛？

 

原文：【Major advances and drawbacks of iPhone X】

Apple Inc on Tuesday rolled out its much-anticipated iPhone X (the X is a "ten", not an "x"), a glass and stainless steel device with an edge-to-edge display that Chief Executive Tim Cook called "the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone".

The launch contained few surprises, with leaked details on the phone and other products proving largely accurate. But surely there are some highlights of the most expensive Apple phone that really wow the potential consumers.

iPhone X ditches the iconic home button in favor of a screen that takes up the entire front of the phone, in the biggest change to Apple's handset to date. The new phone has an advanced form of facial recognition that uses an overhauled front camera system to wake and unlock the phone when you look at it.

A new "super retina" screen claims more detail and bolder colors, and at 5.8 inches is bigger than even the 5.5 inches on iPhone Plus models. The screen on the iPhone X is about the size of the current iPhone 7 plus, though the phone is smaller.

 

Key features of iPhone X

·3D tracking technology will be used to unlock the phone;

·Edge-to-edge display screens that cover the whole front of the phone

· No home button;

· Face ID unlocks the phone using facial recognition software. Works with Apple Pay;

· New Portrait Lighting feature Machine learning creates facial landmarks and enhances light effects on the face;

· Wireless charging;

· "Super Retina" display Supports HDR in Dolby Vision and HDR10 and True Tone

 

Three drawbacks of iPhone X

1. Price

We're used to paying a premium for Apple devices, but this one may be a record. The price of $999 has raised the eyebrows of many iPhone fans.

1. Glass back

You'll have to be extra careful with your thousand dollar investment, because the iPhone X now has two breakable surfaces on which to drop it. The X may have a sturdier stainless steel frame, but it now has a glass back.

1. Touch ID

While most of us will gladly forgo a home button in favor of a bezel-less display, they should've at least kept the Touch ID as an alternative to the new Face ID. In an embarrassing moment for Apple senior vice-president Craig Federighi, the face ID unlocking did not work on his first attempt during the on-stage presentation.
