iPhone 6: More stylish than stylish

At 1 a.m. today, Apple held a new product launch at the Flint Center in Cupertino, USA. Soon after the launch, Apple CEO Cook got straight to the point and quickly launched the long-rumored 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the much-anticipated mobile payment system Apple Pay. The pace of the launch was as OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu said on Weibo, "The first half was hurried." The reason why the first half was "hurried" was that the second half of the launch also prepared the highlight of "one more thing" - the arrival of Apple's first wearable smart device, Apple Watch.

Is iPhone 6 “more stylish than stylish”?

When introducing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the big screen behind Cook showed the words “Bigger than bigger”, and iPhone has entered the “big screen era” since then. Netizen @谷大白话 translated it as “more cool than cool”.

In the eyes of other netizens, does the new generation of iPhone really improve its "level"?

Perhaps because there were too many spoilers in the previous spy photos, netizens did not show much surprise about the new iPhone. On the contrary, complaints about the appearance of the new iPhone were scattered all over the floor. "Ugly" became the keyword for netizens to comment on the iPhone 6. Some netizens expressed the idea of ​​"turning from fans to passers-by" and missed the iPhone of the Steve Jobs era.

Luo Yonghao, the founder of Smartisan smartphone, directly criticized on Weibo: "After iPhone 5, iPhone 6 once again proved that Apple's industrial design was awesome not because of Jonathan, but because of Steve Jobs. Jonathan was basically just a draft, and it was completely exposed."

Since the iPhone 6 is designed to be too thin, the camera protrudes from the surface of the phone, which has become a major issue for netizens to complain about. Some people think that this design affects the appearance. For example, netizen @小鹏 commented: "It's not worth it to make the camera protrude in order to make it thin." Others are worried that if the phone falls during use, the protruding lens will be easily damaged.

In response to this concern, a netizen who gave advice said: "(Just) put on a thick phone case." Apple may have also thought of this method, and launched six colors of silicone and leather cases at the press conference.

Although the new iPhone's appearance has been criticized, some people still said they would buy the iPhone 6. The large screen, the new A8 processor, and the 25% faster processing speed compared to the previous generation are still attracting netizens. Netizen "Baby Pig SDB" said: "Ugly or not, it will be a benchmark and an object of imitation."

Unfortunately, Apple once again disappointed Chinese users. When they heard that mainland China was not on the first release list, many people were heartbroken. Netizen @威仔叫减肥 complained: "China is not on the first release list, and Apple is still doing simultaneous Chinese interpretation. Apple has cleverly shifted the focus from 'iPhone 6 is ugly' to simultaneous interpretation."

Apple Pay will change Americans, but what about China?

The launch of the mobile payment tool Apple Pay was also a highlight of this conference. Many netizens were shocked by the new payment method demonstrated by Cook. In the future, as long as you have an iPhone or Apple Watch in your hand, payment can be completed instantly by scanning your fingerprint.

Some netizens praised the convenience of shopping brought by Apple Pay and expressed their expectations for the revolutionary changes it may bring. Netizen @董景岚 commented: "Apple Pay is something Apple has been planning for a long time, and it will begin to change the lives of Americans!"

However, although Apple still emphasized Apple Pay's protection of user privacy at the press conference: "Apple doesn't know what you bought, what card you used to buy it, or how much you spent," there are still many netizens who are worried about whether it will leak personal information.

Some people thought of the recent Apple iCloud "porn photos" incident and joked in the comments that "Apple emphasizes confidentiality, and the female stars laughed."

Some people are also worried about the battery life of the iPhone. They are worried that when they go out shopping, they may find themselves in the embarrassing situation of not being able to complete the payment because the iPhone is out of power.

Did Apple Watch make Cook a god?

The Apple Watch, which was unveiled in the second half, attracted a lot of attention. When Cook introduced this new smartwatch, well-known reviewer Wang Ziru commented: "Apple Watch, remember this moment, it will either go down in history or be laughed at. Whether Cook will be deified or not, this is the moment."

However, netizens have different opinions on this watch. Those who praise it think it is another great innovation of Apple, far ahead of other smart watches; those who oppose it are still dissatisfied with its appearance and have doubts about the significance of using Apple Watch.

Netizen @茵雾湖 sees Apple Watch as another subversion of Apple, believing that it has subverted the watch and surpassed itself, and life will become better because of it. Netizen @陈咪Mimi is also optimistic about Apple Watch, and she believes that the rich functions of Apple Watch are the biggest highlight of the product.

However, there are also many people who complain about Apple Watch. Some people think that the design of Apple Watch is not beautiful enough, while others say that Apple Watch is just repeating what can be done on the phone and is not very meaningful. Netizen @セカイハ commented: "There are a lot of dazzling apps on Apple Watch, and I can do them on iPhone. Why do I have to work so hard on such a small screen?"

Like other existing smart watches, the Apple Watch's straps can also be replaced. Apple provides 6 different types of straps for buyers to choose from. Netizen @喵了个包在微博撒很愁过 commented: "When the Chinese people are about to get tired of endlessly changing phone cases, Apple has once again found a new fun for people: changing straps!"
