延期押後?蘋果AI或錯失9月“大上新”,iPhone 16首批無緣搭載

蘋果9月的“大上新”可能押後推AI新功能,Apple Intelligence傳出延期數週發佈的消息。

iPhone 16首批無緣?

據知情人士透露,蘋果的AI功能將錯過最初預期的發佈日期,其計劃在10月推出Apple Intelligence。

這意味着,蘋果原定於9月和iOS 18共同發佈的的AI功能,要押後幾周推出。

今年首批出貨的iPhone 16將無緣搭載AI功能,此後需要軟件更新才能獲得這一功能。

據説延遲的原因是,蘋果擔心Apple Intelligence功能的穩定性,以及開發人員需要有足夠的測試時間。

不過據爆料,Apple Intelligence仍將最早在本週首次向軟件開發人員提供iOS 18.1和iPadOS 18.1的第一個測試版。

不過,即使Apple Intelligence隨iOS 18.1、iPadOS 18.1和macOS Sequoia 15.1一起推出,預計也會缺少一些功能。

例如,經過全新升級的Siri,這些功能預計將推遲至2025年上半年推出。

此外,蘋果計劃2024年底至2025年上半年,通過iOS 18的多次更新,推出全套的Apple Intelligence功能。

除iPhone和iPad之外,Apple Intelligence也將是macOS Sequoia的一部分,出現在搭載蘋果自家芯片的Mac電腦上。

而即將在9月新品發佈會上推出的iPhone 16系列,在設計上的變化可能不大。

除了一個控制相機的新按鈕以及速度更快的芯片外,軟件相關的功能強化將是新機的銷售重點。

蘋果的AI押注

為了提振低迷的銷售業績,蘋果在AI下了很大的押注。

今年6月蘋果WWDC大會上,備受期待的蘋果個人AI系統——Apple Intelligence正式亮相。

據介紹,Apple Intelligence使用的芯片是蘋果自研的M系列和專屬雲服務器。

當時,蘋果宣稱,Apple Intelligence 將在 iPhone 15 Pro、iPhone 15 Pro Max、iPad 和搭載 Apple M1 芯片的 Mac 及更高版本上推出。

功能主要涵蓋關鍵通知的優先級、網頁和語音筆記摘要、提高寫作能力的工具、Siri 的改進以及 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 的集成。

可以説,蘋果在Apple Intelligence傾注了大量心血。

近一年多來,隨着智能手機市場競爭加劇和飽和,iPhone 銷售持續放緩,特別是在中國市場的失利

今年第二季度,蘋果四年來首次跌出中國智能手機銷量前五。

研究機構 Canalys 最新數據顯示,儘管蘋果在二季度對 iPhone 機型進行了降價,但其中國市場份額仍較去年同期下降了 2 個百分點至14%,較一季度也下滑了1%。

全球來看,據悉去年第二季度,蘋果還是全球第三大智能手機供應商,但今年卻以約 970 萬部的出貨量跌至第六位。

而人工智能,則是蘋果準備“重整旗鼓”的利器。

不過也需要注意的是,知名消費電子分析師郭明錤此前Apple Intelligence推升換機需求提出質疑。現在又傳出Apple Intelligence延期消息,或將對即將發佈的新品iPhone的銷售造成一定壓力。

本週四,蘋果將公佈二季度財報,投資者正在關注 iPhone 全球銷量的情況,不過市場預計其設備銷量將持續下滑。
