It's a strange thing to say that the cheapest iPhone model costs $600, when I remember when the top-of-the-line models would cost $600.

最便宜的 iPhone 機型也要 600 美元，這真是件奇怪的事，我還記得最頂級的機型也要 600 美元。

This week, Apple discontinued the $430 iPhone SE, killing off the last iPhone that had a classic design with a home button.

本週，蘋果公司停產了售價 430 美元的 iPhone SE，扼殺了最後一款採用經典設計和主頁按鈕的 iPhone。

取而代之的是售價 600 美元的新款 iPhone 16E。

It's the cheaper option, but not as cheap of an option as before.

這是一個比較便宜的選擇，但沒有以前那麼便宜了。

Still, if you're going with the 16E, it's $200 less than the standard iPhone 16.

不過，如果你選擇 16E，它比標準版 iPhone 16 便宜 200 美元。

And with this big update, now every iPhone sold by Apple has Apple Intelligence.

有了這次重大更新，現在蘋果銷售的每部 iPhone 都配備了蘋果智能系統。

Because Apple really wants everyone to get on the AI train and upgrade, especially all of you who keep hanging on to your old iPhones because they work fine.

因為蘋果公司真的希望每個人都能搭上人工智能的列車並進行升級，尤其是那些因為舊款 iPhone 運行良好而繼續使用它們的人。

But is AI enough to give people the motivation to upgrade?

但是，人工智能是否足以為人們提供升級的動力？

The 16E has many things that you find in the new iPhone 16.

16E 擁有新款 iPhone 16 的許多優點。

And there are a few things that are left out, some sacrifices, you could say.

可以說，有一些東西被遺漏了，有一些犧牲。

But what Apple focuses on in this new iPhone 16E, what Apple didn't cut, it really gives you clues to what is important to the company in its future iPhone strategy, beyond AI.

但是，蘋果公司在新款 iPhone 16E 中關注的重點，以及蘋果公司沒有削減的部分，確實給你提供了一些線索，讓你知道除了人工智能之外，公司在未來的 iPhone 戰略中還有哪些重要內容。

I'm Bridget Carey, and we got one more iPhone, so this is one more thing.

我是布里奇特-凱里，我們還有一部 iPhone，所以還有一件事。

I do think it's a little sad that we lost the iPhone SE design with the Touch ID home button, but the 2022 model needed to be upgraded.

我認為，失去帶有 Touch ID 主頁按鈕的 iPhone SE 設計確實有點可惜，但 2022 年的機型需要升級。

It did not have USB-C, so it could not be sold anymore in the European Union because the EU has common charger rules.

它沒有 USB-C，是以不能再在歐盟銷售，因為歐盟有共同的充電器規則。

But this right here is the first iPhone SE.

It came out in 2016, and it stood for special edition.

它於 2016 年問世，代表特別版。

It was the last model to have a headphone jack, and it just has a four-inch display.

它是最後一款配備耳機插孔的機型，而且只有一個四英寸顯示屏。

It has the body of an iPhone 5S, but inside the hardware was like the iPhone 6S.

它擁有 iPhone 5S 的機身，但內部硬件與 iPhone 6S 類似。

And that's what Apple always did with the SE line.

這也是蘋果公司 SE 系列的一貫做法。

It took an old iPhone body and stuffed it with new guts to make it cheaper.

它採用了舊款 iPhone 的機身，並填充了新的內核，以降低成本。

下一代 iPhone SE 將於 2020 年面世。

It also cost $400, and then the third version released in 2022 at $430.

它的價格也是 400 美元，然後是 2022 年發佈的第三個版本，價格為 430 美元。

These last two models had the look of an iPhone 8, but they had the newest processors.

這兩款機型的外觀與 iPhone 8 類似，但它們採用了最新的處理器。

But right now, Apple is ditching the SE series and the strategy for something fresh.

但現在，蘋果公司正在放棄 SE 系列和戰略，轉而尋求新鮮事物。

This time, it's a Frankenstein creation of old and new.

這一次，它是一個新老結合的科學怪人。

There's a 6.1-inch screen with the older notch on the top for Face ID, not that pill-cut-out dynamic island.

它有一塊 6.1 英寸的螢幕，頂部有用於 Face ID 的老式凹槽，而不是那個藥丸切割的動態島。

The more affordable iPhone used to be the smaller iPhone.

更實惠的 iPhone 曾經是更小的 iPhone。

It wasn't just about affordability, it was about portability.

這不僅關乎經濟性，還關乎便攜性。

But those days are in the dust for Apple.

但對於蘋果公司來說，那些日子已經一去不復返了。

You can also just tell by the way the iOS 18 operating system is designed that it isn't optimized for smaller phones anymore.

從 iOS 18 作業系統的設計方式也可以看出，它已經不再針對小型手機進行優化。

When you edit a photo or video, you get all this extra border space now.

現在，當你編輯照片或視頻時，就會得到這些額外的邊框空間。

So if you have a love of mini iPhones, I don't think Apple shares that love.

是以，如果你對迷你 iPhone 情有獨鍾，我不認為蘋果也會如此。

Don't count on Apple going smaller any time soon.

不要指望蘋果會很快縮小規模。

In the iPhone 16E, there is no camera control button, but it does have an action button.

iPhone 16E 沒有照相機控制按鈕，但有一個動作按鈕。

And instead of using the camera control button to activate visual intelligence, you could use the action button here instead, which we have not seen done before.

在這裡，你可以不使用攝像頭控制按鈕來激活視覺智能，而是使用操作按鈕，這是我們以前從未見過的。

So that tells you Apple intelligence is so important to Apple that they will make sure you don't miss out on any single aspect of it, even if you get the cheapest model.

由此可見，蘋果智能對蘋果公司的重要性，以至於他們會確保你不會錯過任何一個方面，即使你買的是最便宜的機型。

They will give you visual intelligence, even if you don't have the right buttons for it.

即使你沒有合適的按鈕，它們也能為你提供視覺情報。

Instead of two cameras, they made a new 48 megapixel two camera in one system.

他們製造了一種新的 4 800 萬像素雙相機合一系統，而不是兩臺相機。

Cameras are important to every iPhone owner, and this camera system seems solid.

攝像頭對每一位 iPhone 用戶來說都很重要，而這款攝像頭系統看起來非常可靠。

It has perks like 2x telephoto lens and portrait mode, but without two lenses, you can't take spatial video and photo.

它有 2 倍遠攝鏡頭和人像模式等功能，但如果沒有兩個鏡頭，就無法拍攝空間視頻和照片。

Well don't worry, no one buying this phone will care about 3D photos and video, because people just want something simple.

別擔心，買這款手機的人不會在乎 3D 照片和視頻，因為人們只想要簡單的東西。

Apple is pushing how the USB-C life is easier with this phone because you don't need to use different cords anymore.

蘋果公司正在大力宣傳，有了這款手機，USB-C 生活將變得更加輕鬆，因為你不再需要使用不同的電線。

So Apple knows that that is a good selling point.

是以，蘋果公司知道這是一個很好的賣點。

And the phone still has wireless charging, but Apple did leave out magnetic charging.

此外，這款手機仍然具有無線充電功能，但蘋果公司確實取消了磁性充電功能。

There's no MagSafe to snap on those MagSafe chargers.

那些 MagSafe 充電器上沒有 MagSafe 卡。

You can get around that with a third-party case that has a magnetic ring, but Apple figured this 16E customer is not someone who would shell out extra cash for MagSafe accessories anyway.

你可以通過第三方帶有磁環的保護套來解決這個問題，但蘋果認為，無論如何，這位 16E 用戶都不會為 MagSafe 配件額外掏錢。

Inside the 16E, you'll find the new A18 chip.

在 16E 內部，你會發現全新的 A18 芯片。

It's the same processor used by the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.

它與 iPhone 16 和 16 Plus 使用的處理器相同。

The normal iPhone 16 has a 5-core GPU, and the 16E has a 4-core.

普通 iPhone 16 配備了 5 核 GPU，而 16E 配備了 4 核。

The people who want an iPhone 16E, they're not counting GPU cores.

那些想要 iPhone 16E 的人，他們不會計算 GPU 內核。

These are customers that just want something simple that works well and will last them for years.

這些客戶只想買到簡單、好用並能使用多年的產品。

So, okay, it's fine that Apple cut that corner.

所以，好吧，蘋果切掉這個角也沒什麼。

And probably most important, iPhone customers just want a good battery life, and that's where Apple made an interesting change.

可能最重要的是，iPhone 用戶只想要良好的電池續航時間，而這正是蘋果公司做出有趣改變的地方。

This is the first iPhone with Apple's in-house cellular modem chip, the C1.

這是首款配備蘋果自制蜂窩調制解調器芯片 C1 的 iPhone。

它不再是高通公司的調制解調器了。

And by Apple putting in its own modem, the company says it's more power efficient.

蘋果公司表示，通過內置自己的調制解調器，它可以更省電。

Apple released a video saying that it redesigned the inside, and the new design is also optimized for a larger battery.

蘋果公司發佈了一段視頻，稱其重新設計了內部結構，新設計還針對更大的電池進行了優化。

It knows battery is a big deal for its future iPhones.

它知道，電池是未來 iPhone 的重中之重。

And presumably, the C1 is also going into the next iPhones.

據推測，C1 也將應用於下一代 iPhone。

Some small things like ultra-wideband technology for precision finding of lost devices was not a priority here, so that was cut out from the 16E.

用於精確查找丟失設備的超寬帶技術等一些小東西在這裡並不是優先事項，是以被從 16E 中刪除了。

But Apple did not cut back on safety perks.

And satellite services connection will kick on when you need help in an emergency.

當您在緊急情況下需要幫助時，衛星服務連接就會啟動。

Apple knows health and safety are big selling points.

蘋果公司深知健康和安全是一大賣點。

It also means Apple wants all of its customers getting accustomed to this feature as standard.

這也意味著蘋果公司希望其所有用戶都能習慣將這一功能作為標準配置。

I don't know if Apple Intelligence alone is what's going to get people motivated to upgrade, although that is what Apple hopes jolts some sales here.

我不知道單靠蘋果智能是否能讓人們產生升級的動力，儘管蘋果公司希望通過這種方式來刺激銷售。

But by Apple showing it also is focused around making big improvements to battery life, and making a better 2-in-1 camera, that tells you that Apple knows the 16E customer is practical, and Apple kept working on the basics.

但是，通過蘋果公司的展示，我們可以看出，蘋果公司也在專注於對電池續航時間進行重大改進，並製造出更好的二合一相機，這說明蘋果公司知道 16E 用戶是實用的，而且蘋果公司一直在做最基本的工作。

If you own an older iPhone, and you upgrade, prepare yourself for a learning curve to catch up to doing things with Face ID, and maybe that action button will be a little weird to you.

如果你使用的是舊款 iPhone，並且進行了升級，那麼請做好準備，學習如何使用 Face ID 進行操作，也許那個操作按鈕對你來說會有點奇怪。

But in the end, Apple made something that you can stick with for a while, and Apple hopes that also means you're going to be playing with Apple Intelligence for a while.

但歸根結底，蘋果公司做出了一款你可以堅持使用一段時間的產品，蘋果公司希望這也意味著你會一直使用蘋果智能系統。

So if you've been waiting for a new lower-cost iPhone, what do you think about the iPhone 16E?

那麼，如果你一直在等待一款新的低價 iPhone，你覺得 iPhone 16E 如何？

Is it economical or more expensive than you wanted?

它是經濟實惠還是比你想要的更貴？

Technically, the E could stand for eco-friendly because it's made from recycled materials.

從技術上講，"E "可以代表環保，因為它是用回收材料製成的。

But maybe the E is for I'm exhausted, so wake me up when the slim 17 model lands in September.

不過，也許 "E "的意思是 "我已經精疲力竭了"，所以 9 月份超薄的 17 型號上市時再叫醒我吧。

I'll catch you next Friday for one more thing to talk about in the world of Apple.

下週五我們再聊蘋果世界的一件事。
