據知情人士透露,蘋果公司正計劃在 iPhone 問世 20 週年之際,為明年的 iPhone Pro 帶來以玻璃為主的全新設計。新機型的正背面及側邊曲面將廣泛採用玻璃材質,並輔以金屬中框,這反駁了近期關於全玻璃機型已被取消的分析師報告。
雖然蘋果設計團隊早期曾構想出完全不含金屬的純玻璃版本,但因量產時面臨玻璃拼接技術難題而作罷。不過,蘋果的產品路線圖並未改變,公司仍期望透過延續這一創新理念,在明年的手機市場引起轟動。
除了 20 週年紀念款,蘋果還準備在接下來的發布會上推出史上首款摺疊 iPhone,以及配備重大相機升級的 iPhone 18 Pro 系列。這些豐富的新產品線預計將為即將於 9 月 1 日上任的新任執行長 John Ternus 提供強勁的發展助力。
According to people familiar with the matter, Apple is planning a glass-centric redesign for the iPhone Pro next year to mark the device's 20th anniversary. The new models will feature glass on both the front and back that curves into the sides with a metal band in the middle, refuting a recent analyst report claiming the all-glass design was canceled.
While an early aspirational version made entirely of glass without metal was scrapped due to challenges in mass-producing the glass connections, Apple's product roadmap remains unchanged. The company still expects to make a significant impact next year by evolving this innovative original idea.
In addition to the 20th-anniversary overhaul, Apple is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone and the iPhone 18 Pro series with major camera improvements in upcoming updates. This extensive product pipeline is anticipated to provide a strong tailwind for the new CEO, John Ternus, who takes over on September 1.
