but no one was expecting the dynamic island.

但沒有人想到，這個動態的島嶼。

And while it was getting clearer

而當它越來越清晰的時候

that Apple would have to follow the rest of the industry

蘋果將不得不跟隨其他行業的發展。

and using bigger camera sensors eventually,

Let's take a look.

讓我們來看看。

(bright music)

(明亮的音樂)

We have to start with a Dynamic Island, right?

我們必須從一個動態島開始，對嗎？

The name is ridiculous, but it's fun.

這個名字很可笑，但很有趣。

Everyone's talking about it, which is not normal

每個人都在談論它，這並不正常

for a smartphone status indicator system.

用於智能手機狀態訓示系統。

That's a win, that's where I live every day.

那是一場勝利，那是我每天生活的地方。

But let's just agree that we're gonna call it the island

但讓我們同意，我們要把它叫做島。

and move on.

並繼續前進。

So the island replaces Apple's notch.

是以，該島取代了蘋果的凹槽。

It's where the front camera and the face ID system lives,

它是前置攝像頭和人臉識別系統的所在地。

since they've got to take up someplace

因為他們必須佔據某個地方

in the front of the display.

在顯示器的前面。

Here's the thing about the notch though,

不過，關於凹槽的問題是這樣的。

in almost every review,

在幾乎每篇評論中。

going back to the iPhone 10,

要追溯到iPhone 10。

I've said, "Hey after a couple minutes,

我已經說過，"嘿，過了幾分鐘。

"you don't notice the notch."

"你沒有注意到這個缺口。"

The island is different.

這座島是不同的。

You are supposed to notice it.

你應該注意到它。

It's located lower on the screen than the notch.

它在螢幕上的位置比凹槽更低。

And if you run your phone in light mode, like I do,

如果你像我一樣，在燈光模式下運行你的手機。

it's actually a high contrast interface element.

它實際上是一個高對比度的界面元素。

It's a black pill shape in the middle of white screen.

它是白色螢幕中間的一個黑色藥丸形狀。

It's right there.

它就在那裡。

You're going to see it.

你會看到它。

Especially since it's animating and moving all the time.

特別是由於它一直在做動畫和移動。

Now it's better in dark mode.

現在，它在黑暗模式下更好。

In fact, I would go so far as to say

事實上，我甚至可以說

this is the first iPhone

這是第一部iPhone

you should definitely run in dark mode because of it.

因為它，你肯定應該在黑暗模式下運行。

So why did Apple go from the notch is there,

那麼，為什麼蘋果要從缺口是有。

but you can all but ignore it, to the dynamic island is here

但你可以全部忽略它，對動態島在這裡

and you are going to pay attention to it?

而你卻要去關注它？

Well, it turns out that over the years,

嗯，事實證明，多年來。

there have been like three or four

有像三或四個

different status indicator systems added on to iOS.

在iOS上添加了不同的狀態訓示系統。

Plugging in a charger or flipping the mute switch

插上充電器或翻開靜音開關

brings up an overlay.

帶來了一個覆蓋層。

Having a call in the background

在後臺有一個電話

puts a green pill in the corner.

在角落裡放了一個綠色的藥丸。

The maps app is a blue pill.

地圖應用程序是一個藍色藥丸。

Connecting AirPods is another overlay.

連接AirPods是另一種疊加。

Some things like timers and music playing in the background

一些東西，如定時器和背景音樂的播放

haven't really had status indicators at all.

沒有真正意義上的狀態指標。

The island is Apple's way of replacing and unifying

該島是蘋果取代和統一的方式

all those older status systems

所有那些舊的地位系統

with a new home for system alerts,

為系統警報提供了一個新家。

and making it work for things like music

並使其適用於音樂等事物

and the new live activities API

和新的現場活動API

that's coming to iOS 16 later this year,

今年晚些時候將登陸iOS 16。

which will allow apps to share even more background info

這將使應用程序能夠分享更多的背景資訊

for things like your flight status or a sports score.

諸如你的班機狀態或體育比分。

The simplest way of understanding the island

瞭解該島的最簡單方法

is that it's basically a new widget system

是，它基本上是一個新的小工具系統

built on top of that live activities API.

構建在該實時活動API之上。

And the widgets can have three views,

而小部件可以有三個視圖。

the main view, this expanded view,

主視圖，這個擴展視圖。

and this ultra minimal icon

和這個極簡的圖標

when you've got two things going at once.

當你同時有兩件事要做時。

Here's a list Apple sent over

以下是蘋果公司送來的一份清單

of all the things that will support the island at launch

在發射時支持該島的所有東西中

before live activities arrives

在現場活動到來之前

and third parties can use it too.

和第三方也可以使用它。

So that's the concept.

所以這就是概念。

The execution is obviously where the action is.

執行顯然是行動的所在。

And like all first versions of anything,

就像所有第一版的東西一樣。

Apple's made some choices that really work,

蘋果公司做出了一些真正有效的選擇。

and some others that, eh.

和其他一些人，嗯。

So here's a big choice that really works,

是以，這裡有一個真正有效的大選擇。

and it's just like purely Apple.

而它就像純粹的蘋果。

One of the reasons that it's called the island

它被稱為島嶼的原因之一是

is that it's meant to float over the rest of the system.

是指它要漂浮在系統的其他部分之上。

It's a layer on top of iOS.

這是在iOS之上的一層。

It's supposed to feel more like hardware than software,

它應該感覺更像硬件而不是軟件。

almost like a secondary display

幾乎就像一個次要的顯示器

that can get bigger or smaller.

可以變大或變小。

To get this to feel right,

為了讓這個感覺正確。

apple's actually using a new

蘋果實際上在使用一個新的

dynamic sub-pixel anti-aliasing system

動態亞像素抗鋸齒系統

that makes the edges of the island up to three times crisper

使島的邊緣更清晰三倍以上

than all the other animations in iOS.

比iOS中的所有其他動畫都要好。

Here's a macro shot of the individual RGB sub-pixels

下面是一張各個RGB子像素的宏觀照片

of the display being anti-aliased

顯示屏被抗鋸齒化的程度

to create a sharp edge for the island.

以便為島嶼創造一個尖銳的邊緣。

In normal room lighting, this really works.

is getting bigger and smaller.

正變得越來越大，越來越小。

And the animations like this drop effect

for when the island splits in two are super fun.

當島嶼一分為二的時候，超級有趣。

In sunlight or brighter light,

在陽光下或更明亮的光線下。

yeah, you can see the camera sensors,

是的，你可以看到攝像頭的傳感器。

and the illusion kind of goes away, but it's still cool.

而這種錯覺就會消失，但它仍然很酷。

Other big thing that works is that

另一個起作用的大事情是

moving all these disparate status indicators to the island

將所有這些不同的狀態指標移到島上

and making them worth paying attention to

並使其成為值得關注的對象

is actually pretty great.

實際上是相當偉大的。

It's nice having call info right on the screen.

在螢幕上有呼叫資訊是很好的。

It's genuinely useful having your timers right there,

計時器就在那裡，這真的很有用。

making things like Airdrop and Face ID

使得像Airdrop和Face ID這樣的東西

all show up in consistent ways in the same place

一致的方式出現在同一個地方

make those things easier to understand, which is great.

使這些東西更容易理解，這很好。

The thing that kills me is that in a keynote,

令我痛心的是，在一個主題演講中。

and in all the ads, Apple shows the island is a thing

在所有的廣告中，蘋果公司展示了該島是一個東西

that's worth interacting with.

那是值得互動的。

It's always moving, and going back and forth

它總是在移動，來回走動

between the main view and the expanded view.

在主視圖和擴展視圖之間。

In reality, it is not like that at all.

在現實中，根本就不是這樣的。

The island isn't a primary interface element.

島嶼並不是一個主要的界面元素。

It sits over whatever app you're actually using.

它坐落在你實際使用的任何應用程序之上。

And apps are still very much the main point of the iPhone.

而應用程序仍然是iPhone的主要看點。

In fact, tapping on the island

事實上，在島上挖掘

doesn't open that expanded view.

並沒有打開那個擴展的視圖。

It just switches you back

它只是把你換回來

to whatever app that controls the widget.

到任何控制小工具的應用程序。

To get the expanded view, you have to tap and hold.

要獲得擴大的視圖，你必須點擊並按住。

This feels exactly backwards to me.

這對我來說完全是倒退的感覺。

Now Apple knows I feel this way.

現在蘋果公司知道我有這種感覺。

The idea apparently

這個想法顯然是

is that things should be as simple as possible.

是，事情應該儘可能簡單。

And going back to the app is the simplest thing.

而回到應用程序是最簡單的事情。

Nah, I don't know.

不，我不知道。

I think a tap should pop open the widget,

我認為點擊一下就應該彈出小部件。

and I definitely think

而且我絕對認為

you should at least be able to choose.

你至少應該能夠選擇。

This is kind of the whole tension of the island.

這就是這個島的整個緊張氣氛。

It's much more noticeable and useful than the notch,

它比缺口更明顯，更有用。

but you're not really supposed to interact with it.

但你不應該真的與它互動。

It's background information.

這是背景資料。

All those questions about whether

所有那些關於是否

you're gonna get fingerprints all over the camera,

你會在相機上留下所有的指紋。

like, well, as it stands,

像，嗯，就像現在這樣。

you don't touch this thing very much at all.

你根本就不怎麼碰這個東西。

But because it's so much more prominent,

但因為它是如此的突出。

you're looking at it all the time.

你一直在看它。

I'm using it with a bunch of apps that haven't been updated.

我在使用它的時候，有一堆還沒有更新的應用程序。

So it kind of covers up some content

所以它有點掩蓋了一些內容

because it sits lower on the display.

因為它在顯示器上的位置較低。

So right at the second,

所以就在第二個。

the trade off between how noticeable it is

它是多麼明顯的交易

and how useful it is is a little out of whack.

以及它的作用有多大，都有點不正常了。

It doesn't quite do enough to always be in the way.

它做得還不夠好，總是礙手礙腳。

Now I think all this might change

現在我認為這一切可能會改變

when that live activities API rolls out later this year,

在今年晚些時候推出現場活動的API時。

which is the other big thing Apple did right.

這也是蘋果公司做得對的另一件大事。

It made this system available to third party developers.

它向第三方開發者提供了這個系統。

But right now the dynamic island

但現在的動態島

feels like one of those things

感覺就像那些事情之一

that needs a year of refinement and developer attention

這需要一年的完善和開發人員的關注

before we really know how important it is.

在我們真正知道它有多重要之前。

The big feature of the iPhone 14 Pro camera system

iPhone 14 Pro相機系統的大特點

is the new 48 megapixel main camera sensor.

是新的4800萬像素主攝像頭傳感器。

Apple's actually a few years late to this trend.

蘋果在這一趨勢中實際上晚了幾年。

Samsung has used 108 megapixel sensors since 2020,

自2020年以來，三星一直使用1.08億像素的傳感器。

and Google added a 50 megapixel sensor

和谷歌增加了一個5000萬像素的傳感器

to the Pixel 6 Pro last year.

到去年的Pixel 6 Pro。

The basic idea is the same all around,

基本的想法都是一樣的。

to take better photos,

以拍攝更好的照片。

you need to collect as much light as possible.

你需要收集儘可能多的光線。

And to do that, you need bigger pixels.

而要做到這一點，你需要更大的像素。

But at some point making the pixels physically bigger

但在某種程度上，使像素在物理上變得更大

gets hard, so instead you just add a lot more pixels

變得很困難，所以你只是增加了很多像素

and use software to group them into giant virtual pixels.

並使用軟件將它們組合成巨大的虛擬像素。

This whole thing is called pixel bidding.

這整個事情被稱為像素競價。

And the math on Apple's bidding is straightforward.

而蘋果公司的競標計算是直接的。

It uses four pixels to create a single virtual pixel,

它使用四個像素來創建一個虛擬像素。

which means that 48 megapixel sensor

這意味著，4800萬像素的傳感器

generally shoots 12 megapixel photos.

一般可拍攝1200萬像素的照片。

Apple's also reworked its entire photo processing pipeline

蘋果公司還重新設計了其整個照片處理管道

and rebranded it the Photonic Engine.

並將其重新命名為光子引擎。

The big change here is that the deep fusion

這裡最大的變化是，深層聚變

pixel by pixel analysis that happens

發生的逐個像素的分析

in mid and low light now happens earlier

在中、低光照下，現在更早發生

in the process on uncompressed data.

在這個過程中，對未壓縮的數據。

It's never really been easy to see how much it's doing.

要看到它的作用有多大，從來都不容易。

And well, it's the same on the iPhone 14 Pro.

而且，在iPhone 14 Pro上也是如此。

Honestly the 14 Pro and 13 Pro take really similar photos.

老實說，14 Pro和13 Pro拍攝的照片非常相似。

Here's Verge video producer, Mariya Abdulkaf

以下是Verge視頻製作人馬里亞-阿卜杜卡夫的介紹

in a really dim bar.

在一個非常昏暗的酒吧。

The 14 Pro is a little cooler,

14專業版更酷一點。

and it captures a tiny bit more detail at 100%,

而且在100%的情況下，它能捕捉到更多的微小細節。

but you really have to go looking for it.

但你真的要去尋找它。

These photos of Mariya outside look pretty much the same.

Mariya在外面的這些照片看起來基本一樣。

But if you zoom in,

但是，如果你放大來看。

you can see the 14 Pro is getting a bit more detail,

你可以看到14 Pro的細節越來越多。

and it has a nicer background blur

而且它有一個更好的背景模糊度

because of the substantially larger sensor.

因為傳感器大得多。

This is all really nice, but in Instagram sizes,

這都是非常好的，但在Instagram的尺寸。

it is not particularly noticeable.

它並不特別明顯。

Here's that same photo on the Pixel 6 Pro, by the way,

順便說一下，這是Pixel 6 Pro上的同一張照片。

you can see it captures even more detail

你可以看到它捕捉到更多的細節

with its Pixel Bend 50 megapixel sensor,

其Pixel Bend 5000萬像素傳感器。

along with a wider range of colors.

隨著更廣泛的顏色範圍。

This is about as different as the Pixel

這就像Pixel一樣不同。

and the iPhone have been in a few years.

和iPhone已經有幾年的時間了。

They both grab a lot of detail

他們都抓住了很多細節

and have great low light performance,

並有很好的低光性能。

but the pixel six pro makes very different choices

但Pixel 6 pro做出了非常不同的選擇

about highlights and shadow,

關於高光和陰影。

while the iPhone is way more willing

而iPhone則更願意

to let highlights blow out,

要讓高光部分吹出來。

and even let some natural vignetting creep in.

甚至讓一些自然光暈悄然而至。

Both of these photos are terrific,

這兩張照片都非常棒。

and the one you prefer is entirely down to

而你喜歡哪一個完全取決於

subjective preference.

主觀的偏好。

Where the iPhone 14 Pro falls down

iPhone 14 Pro的失敗之處

is really in the details of the processing.

其實是在處理的細節上。

Apple's been ramping up the amount of noise reduction

蘋果一直在加大降噪的力度

and sharpening over the years.
