Topics
本期播客主要讨论了苹果公司发布的2024年假日广告,该广告以AirPods Pro 2的助听器功能为中心,引发了积极的评价。广告的成功之处在于其感人的故事情节和对助听器功能的巧妙展现,突出了该功能对听力障碍人士的帮助。此外,播客还探讨了苹果AI功能的过度宣传以及Siri新设计带来的用户期望与实际体验的落差。虽然苹果AI广告成功吸引了人们的注意,但其功能的实际提升有限,导致用户失望。播客还分享了为家人提供技术支持的轶事,例如设置Paramount+账户、解决三星手机消息应用更新问题以及iPhone备忘录应用图标问题等。这些轶事反映了技术支持的复杂性和用户在使用新技术时遇到的常见问题。 播客还讨论了苹果公司在软件更新方面的一些问题,例如iOS 17更新后出现的笔记消失问题以及HomeKit对机器人吸尘器的支持推迟到2025年初。此外,苹果公司还取消了tvOS 18.2中的一些屏幕保护程序,并推迟了配备显示屏的HomePod的发布。在CarPlay方面,播客探讨了CarPlay音频自动恢复问题以及现代汽车公司对CarPlay的承诺。最后,播客还讨论了苹果公司与皇家马德里俱乐部商谈为Vision Pro用户提供沉浸式体育赛事直播的计划。该计划旨在通过Vision Pro为体育场馆提供无限容量的观看体验,并通过固定位置的摄像头提供沉浸式视角,降低了内容制作的复杂性和成本。
