蘋果發佈iOS新系統，對老用戶可真是好消息！

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.
蘋果公佈新手機操作系統將更新爲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·費德瑞在加利福尼亞世界軟件開發會議中公佈了iOS 12新系統。

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免費升級，和 iOS 11可運作的應用相同。

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.
費德瑞說，iOS 12能提高原有蘋果部件的性能，手機應用軟件提速40%，需要打字時鍵盤出現的速度提升50%。

He also said that the camera app on older iPhones and iPads will open 70% faster once iOS 12 is installed.
以往版本的手機和平板照相應用開啓速度將提高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現實技術也大大提升。

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也進行了更新。一款名爲“捷徑（shortcuts）”的功能允許第三方軟件使用Siri。費德瑞在會議中展示了一個例子，用戶對Siri說“我鑰匙丟了”，手機會激活和車鑰匙相連的藍牙追蹤應用。

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.
用戶可以設置使用類似Instagram或者WhatsApp應用的時間，保證做事時足夠專注。超出可使用時間範圍，手機或者平板就會將應用鎖住，用戶無法使用。這個功能對多項應用適用，蘋果稱這對父母來說很實用，他們可以控制孩子的使用時間。

Apple hasn't forgotten animojis, either.
當然，蘋果也沒有忘記動態表情。

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，蘋果稱之爲“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.
最後，終於能在視頻時組羣了。

You can have up to 32 people in the same call and can even add Memoji's to people's faces.
視頻聊天時人數上限爲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、平板、筆記本中都適用，蘋果手錶僅可聽聲。

“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.
費德瑞說：“我們對新的通訊功能很激動，蘋果手機和平板以後都能用Memoji了，這個功能比Animoji更有個性，還能有更多的照相效果和羣聊。”

“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中運用了新的技術，這在從前是難以想象的。算法升級，使增強現實功能更吸引人，軟件應用通過 Siri更快運行。”
