亲身体验苹果全新智能手表和iPhone 6

    如果你不习惯三星等品牌的大屏智能手机，那么把尺寸更大的iPhone 6放在手上将会让你感到震撼。这款手机轻、薄，但是很大，像小型的iPad Mini一样。而较小一些的4.7英寸版iPhone 6仅比iPhone 5S大0.7英寸，所以尺寸差别可以忽略不计。

    但是，这两款手机的背面均采用铝合金，背面和正面之间的边框变成了弧面，这样机身的接缝或缝隙变得更少。尽管iPhone 6和iPhone 6+很轻，但是给人的感受是制作精良，甚至比iPhone 5S还要好。里面配置全新的A8芯片，在上网时，或在打开的应用间切换时，均十分流畅，但说实话，5S在这方面也很出色。iPhone 6处理具有大量3D图形的移动游戏的性能，应该更能体现苹果新芯片的强大程度。

    第一眼看到苹果的最新设备似乎让人印象深刻，但是这些设备仍然有一些问题。可穿戴技术，特别是手表，是非常新的设备类别，目前还不清楚人们对这些设备的需求大不大，即使是苹果手表也无法确定这一点。（是否有足够多的苹果用户想拥有与手机连通的手表呢？）。另外，苹果没有提及手表的电池寿命，而CEO蒂姆•库克（Tim Cook）大肆赞扬了iPhone 6的电池寿命——这是一个令人不安的迹象，但也可能是因为苹果智能手表明年才开始上市。同时，虽然iPhone 6制作精良，但是，如果没有足够的零售商注册，那么苹果公司的Apple Pay支付系统（系统通过手机内的芯片运行）可能面临着与谷歌钱包（Google Wallet）相同的命运。然而，至少有一点很清楚：在周二，苹果再次成为了万众瞩目的焦点。所以苹果公司就已经完成了任务。

    要获取更多信息，请留心《财富》9月份稍后对iPhone 6以及明年初对苹果智能手表的全面评论。但是，不要因此而回避目前的讨论。《财富》的读者们，你们有什么想法呢？你们认为苹果是不负众望，还是未达到预期效果呢？请在下面进行评论。（财富中文网）

    If you’re not used to larger smartphones from Samsung and the like, cradling the larger iPhone 6 in one hand will come as a shock. This thing is thin-and-light, but it’s big, like a miniature iPad Mini. At 4.7-inches, the smaller iPhone 6 is just .7 -inches larger than the iPhone 5S, so the difference there is negligible.

    But both models now sport an aluminum back that curves around to the front, so there are less seams or gaps in the body. Despite being lightweight, they feel extremely well-made, even more so than the iPhone 5S. A new A8 chip inside zipped along while surfing the web or switching among apps I had open, but the 5S isn’t sluggish either, truth be told. How the iPhone 6 handles 3-D graphics-heavy mobile games should be a better indicator of how powerful Apple’s new chip is.

    While Apple’s latest devices seem impressive on first blush, questions remain. Wearable tech, particularly watches, are such a new device category, it’s unclear whether there’s a huge appetite for them, even those sold by Apple. (Do enough Apple users want a watch that communicates with their phones?). Apple also failed to mention the watch’s battery life, a feature CEO Tim Cook bragged about for the iPhone 6 — a worrisome sign, but it also could be because the Apple Watch doesn’t hit until next year. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 is well-made, but the company’s Apple Pay payment system, which works via a chip inside the phone, could see the same fate as Google Wallet if enough retailers don’t sign-on. But at least one thing was clear: Apple intrigued people — a lot of people — on Tuesday. So mission accomplished.

    For more, keep an eye out for Fortune’s full reviews of the iPhone 6 later this September and Apple Watch early next year. But don’t let that stop you from weighing in now. What did you think, Fortune readers? Did Apple deliver, or fall flat? Weigh in with comments below.
