北京时间9月10日凌晨一点，苹果在美国库伯提诺市弗林特剧院（Flint Center）举行发布会，传闻已久的iPhone6、iPhone 6 Plus以及苹果首款可穿戴智能设备Apple Watch亮相，同时苹果还在会上宣布6月于WWDC发布的iOS 8的正式版将在17日开始推送。

iphone6/6 Plus

Technology giant Apple Computers announced at a press event in Cupertino, California today three new products: two new iterations of their iPhone smartphones, the iphone6 and the iphone6  Plus, and Apple's first foray into to the wearable market — the Apple Watch.

Apple senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller took to the stage to introduce the new smartphones — the 4.7-inch screen iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch screen iphone6  Plus.

Both sport a myriad of technology upgrades, from faster WiFi to faster LTE cellular connections. Both phones will launch with the new iOS 8 operating system. (Software updates will go out to older iPhones (the 4S and later) on September 17.)

The new phones come with what Apple calls Retina HD, an upgrade to their current Retina display technology, the 6 supports up to 1 million pixels and the 6-plus up to 2 million pixels.

The new phones are also thinner. On the new 6 Plus, apps can be used in Horizontal views.

Beyond the displays, Apple has put out a new 64-bit chip, the A8, the second generation, which promises to be 25 percent faster in CPU use and 50 percent better in graphics processing. This new processing power is supposedly better in terms of power use. The new iPhones will have better battery life than the iPhone 5S, the company says.

The new iphone6  and 6 plus will go on sale in the US and Hong Kong among other countries for 199 for the 16gb with a 2 year contract and 299 for the 64gb. The 6 Plus will start at 299 with a two-year contract on September 19. Both come in silver, gold and black.

苹果发布了4.7英寸屏幕的iphone6 ，它拥有金属材质打造的机身，相比之前几代iPhone，全新的iphone6 在设计上回归最初，机身中框部分采用了弧形设计，类似初代iPhone。和5S一样，iPhone 6依旧会有金色、银色和黑色三种配色。

由于机身变大，为了照顾用户的操作体验，苹果将iPhone 6的电源键从机身顶部挪到了手机的右侧。不过机身的厚度不增反降，iPhone 6的机身厚度只有6.9毫米，这也使得它成为了迄今为止机身厚度最薄的iPhone手机产品。

iphone6 的屏幕扩大到了4.7英寸，分辨率随之提升至1334×750像素，换算下来屏幕的像素密度依旧为326，苹果始终认为326 ppi已经是人眼的极限，因此新的iphone6 屏幕像素密度依旧从326起跳。屏幕上覆盖的玻璃盖板不再是平的，而是2.5D的玻璃，这让iphone6 的屏幕边缘是弧形的。

核心硬件方面，苹果在iphone6 上使用了全新的A8处理器，苹果称这颗处理器是第二代的64位处理器，官方的参数表示A8的处理能力将比之前5S上使用的A7提高25%的处理速度。除此以外A8内还集成了一颗协处理器M8，功能和之前的M7一样，专为测量来自加速感应器、陀螺仪和指南针的运动数据而设计，保证低电压的同时，完成传感器的运算动作。

iOS 8的正式版将搭载在iphone6 上，新的健康应用以及全新的推送界面将出现，同时iOS 8将开放第三方输入法等。9月17日苹果将向目前能升级iOS 7的产品推送iOS 8正式版，包括iPhone 4S以及iPad 2。

最大的变化来自存储容量，iphone6 取消了32GB版，加入了128GB版，美国运营商两年的合约价依旧为199/299/399美元，同时iPhone 5S和5C的签约价将降价到99美元以及0元。

Along with the new iPhones, Apple is pushing a new Apple Pay mobile payment system.

Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice-president of internet software and services, talked about the security of Apple Pay. Credit and debit cards uploaded to the iPhone are iPhone only. Credit card information isn't stored on the device.

"We're not in the business of collecting your data," said Cue.

Apple Pay comes with every iphone6  and 6plus and will start in the US with American Express, MasterCard and Visa.

Daniel Matte, an analyst with Canalys, said that Apple's announcement delivered what Apple needed to deliver and the Apple Watch stole the show.

"On the iPhone side, they delivered what they needed to," said Matte. "I think they're in a very competitive position, putting out two bigger sizes like what the market has been demanding."

 NFC终于出现在iphone6 上，苹果为此推出了一个全新的服务——Apple Pay。这是一个近场支付的服务，通过NFC、TouchID、 Passbook和被苹果称为“安全元素（Secure Element）”的东西组合，实现近场支付。

Apple Pay的初期合作伙伴包括赛百味、麦当劳、迪士尼、沃尔格林、梅西百货、丝芙兰和梅西百货，当然还有苹果商店。此外，Groupon、Uber和Panera也都整合了Apple Pay，顾客无需输入任何支付信息便可完成支付。

安全性方面，苹果表示Apple Pay并不会收集用户的安全信息，交易完全是在用户、银行以及收款方之间进行，每次支付的时候会有独立的动态验证码。同时如果使用者的手机丢失，用户能通过“Find My iPhone”来远程锁定Apple Pay功能。

苹果宣布这项功能将在10月到来，首先会在美国地区开始运营，苹果开放了Apple Pay的API给第三方开发者，相信未来会有更多的使用Apple Pay的软件到来。

Apple Watch

Apple computer's first entry into the smart wearable device market is a surprisingly comfortable one.

Coming out with two different screen sizes and technically three different models (all together 6), the Apple Watch is quite a sight.

It's not so thick that it stands out; it feels and looks a bit smaller than a standard Casio G-Shock watch. Of course looks are in the eye of the beholder, considering other mobile device manufacturers have made circular watches. Apple's device is "rectangular".

In terms of operation, Apple did not allow the media to play with the device directly. Test devices were only allowed to be worn by the press, with the software demo being played on a loop.

The device felt and looked good, but without a full hands-on test drive with the software, there are still many questions about the Apple Watch.

The new Apple Watch is a square screened device with a sapphire display that provides haptic, or skin-contact, feedback. The watch has sensors on its back to monitor heart rate. The focus of the watch — with so many health and fitness features built in — appears to be health oriented. 

The Apple Watch will go on sale in early 2015 starting at $349.

苹果在发布会中所说的Wish We Could Say More就是他们在发布会上发布了旗下首款可穿戴智能设备Apple Watch，它是一款智能手表，苹果提供给了我们一种全新的操控方式——旋钮。

Apple Watch模仿了传统腕表的设计，不过在机身的侧面苹果为其设计了一个旋钮和一个按键，受限于屏幕尺寸，Apple Watch将很多触摸操作搬到了侧面的旋转钮上，使用中可以通过旋转旋钮完成缩放、上下滑动等操作。而苹果为了照顾佩戴者的喜好，推出了一大一小两种屏幕尺寸的Apple Watch。

之前传闻将使用在iphone6 上的蓝宝石屏幕并没有出现在手机上，反而出现在了APPle Watch上，和手机一样，手表的屏幕也是2.5D的，手表的表带可以更换，有6种不同类型搭扣的表带可以选择，包括传统手表型搭扣和金属表带。

Apple Watch采用了全新的系统，所有的图标全部都以散落的方式排列，应用的界面也更加简洁，动画效果也都调整的更加“圆润”。从现场的演示来看，Apple Watch的动画效果非常平滑，相比较手机，Apple Watch的操作更加简单。与之前的很多智能手表产品一样，Apple Watch可以进行显示通知、调用地图、控制音乐播放、接收短信并快速回复等cap自拍。

健康方面，Apple Watch通过运动传感器记录佩带着的运动情况，通过底部的传感器监控心率，通过iPhone的GPS监控运动的距离和时长，苹果为Apple Watch设计了全新的健康应用，可以提醒运动、实时推送运动信息、记录和展示运动数据，并与iPhone共享这些数据。

Apple Watch将有三个版本，Apple Watch、Apple Watch Sport以及Apple Watch Edition。手表可以和iphone6 、iphone6 Plus、iPhone 5、iPhone 5C和iPhone 5S连接，手表的起价为349美元，将于2015年年初上市。
