今日主播仇莉娜說:
就在北京時間23日凌晨1點,蘋果將開始舉行首次採用線上形式召開的第31屆全球開發者大會。
據多方報導,本屆大會的一大看點就是蘋果有可能在硬體方面,在全新Mac產品中全面引入自研ARM架構晶片而非繼續使用英特爾晶片。
如果這一預測成真,那麼將是蘋果MAC電腦在使用英特爾晶片15年後逐漸與其「分手」的重要一步,也是蘋果公司在自研電腦晶片領域的重要裡程碑。有行業分析稱,這或許會改變英特爾在電腦晶片領域的壟斷地位。
據外媒報導,在軟體方面,本屆開發者大會預計將宣布iOS 14、iPad OS 14等系統迭代,但正式版本的發布,可能要到今年秋天。由於2019年全球iOS系統用戶量已超過9億人,因此iOS 14系統也廣受關注。
據外媒報導,iOS 14可能有以下幾個亮點:內置翻譯、新健身應用程式、增強現實能力和智能車聯網技術等。
