Apple has announced the next version of its mobile operating system will be called iOS 12 and it will work especially well with older gadgets.
蘋果公布新手機(jī)操作系統(tǒng)將更新為iOS 12，和以往配件兼容。

Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, announced the new software on stage at the Worldwide Developer's Conference in California.
蘋果軟件工程高級副總裁克雷格·費(fèi)德瑞在加利福尼亞世界軟件開發(fā)會議中公布了iOS 12新系統(tǒng)。

He confirmed it will be made available as a free update and will run on the same list of devices that support?iOS 11?.
他說，iOS 12免費(fèi)升級，和?iOS 11可運(yùn)作的應(yīng)用相同。

According to Federighi, the new software will boost performance on older Apple gadgets so apps launch 40% faster while the keyboard comes up 50% faster when you need to tap out a message.
費(fèi)德瑞說，iOS 12能提高原有蘋果部件的性能，手機(jī)應(yīng)用軟件提速40%，需要打字時鍵盤出現(xiàn)的速度提升50%。

He also said that the camera app on older iPhones and iPads will open 70% faster once iOS 12 is installed.
以往版本的手機(jī)和平板照相應(yīng)用開啟速度將提高70%。

As well as increasing performance in older devices, iOS 12 also contains better search abilities in Apple photos and more advancements in augmented reality.
除了軟件提速，iOS 12在蘋果相冊的搜索能力和增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)也大大提升。

There have also been some improvements to Siri, Apple's voice assistant.?A new feature called "shortcuts" lets third-party apps access and use Siri. An example shown on-stage was using Siri to say "I've lost my keys" and activate a linked up Tile bluetooth tracker that's attached to your car keys.
蘋果的語音助手Siri也進(jìn)行了更新。一款名為“捷徑（shortcuts）”的功能允許第三方軟件使用Siri。費(fèi)德瑞在會議中展示了一個例子，用戶對Siri說“我鑰匙丟了”，手機(jī)會激活和車鑰匙相連的藍(lán)牙追蹤應(yīng)用。

Another interesting addition to iOS 12 is limiting the amount of time you use certain apps.
更有趣的是，iOS 12能控制用戶使用個別應(yīng)用的時間。

You can set limitations on things like Instagram or WhatsApp to keep you focused. After the alloted time limit, your iPhone or iPad will block the app from working. It will run across multiple devices and Apple says that it will be useful for parents who want to limit what their kids use.
用戶可以設(shè)置使用類似Instagram或者WhatsApp應(yīng)用的時間，保證做事時足夠?qū)Ｗ?。超出可使用時間范圍，手機(jī)或者平板就會將應(yīng)用鎖住，用戶無法使用。這個功能對多項(xiàng)應(yīng)用適用，蘋果稱這對父母來說很實(shí)用，他們可以控制孩子的使用時間。

Apple hasn't forgotten animojis, either.
當(dāng)然，蘋果也沒有忘記動態(tài)表情。

As well as now recognising when you stick out your tongue, Apple also introduced some new characters - like a ghost and a T-Rex.
除了用戶伸舌頭的動作可被識別，蘋果還推出了新的功能——幽靈和恐龍。

There's also now the option to create a cartoon version of your own face. Apple is calling it "Memoji" and you'll probably start seeing a lot of them over the next few months.
這兩款功能也能讓用戶用自己的臉做卡通表情，蘋果稱之為“Memoji”，未來幾個月，你可能會見到很多這樣的表情了。

Lastly, there's finally the ability to have a group chat in FaceTime.
最后，終于能在視頻時組群了。

You can have up to 32 people in the same call and can even add Memoji's to people's faces.
視頻聊天時人數(shù)上限為32，可使用Memoji。

Group FaceTime will work on iPhone, iPad and Mac while there's an audio-only option for Apple Watch.
視頻聊天組功能在手機(jī)、平板、筆記本中都適用，蘋果手表僅可聽聲。

“We're very excited about the new communications features we’re bringing to iPhone and iPad with Memoji, a more personal form of Animoji, fun camera effects and Group FaceTime,” said Federighi.
費(fèi)德瑞說：“我們對新的通訊功能很激動，蘋果手機(jī)和平板以后都能用Memoji了，這個功能比Animoji更有個性，還能有更多的照相效果和群聊?！?/div>

“With iOS 12, we're enabling new experiences that weren't possible before. We;re using advanced algorithms to make AR even more engaging and on-device intelligence to deliver faster ways to get things done using Siri.”
“我們在iOS 12中運(yùn)用了新的技術(shù)，這在從前是難以想象的。算法升級，使增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)功能更吸引人，軟件應(yīng)用通過?Siri更快運(yùn)行?！?/div>
