【神話破滅】連美國專家也看不下去的5G IPHONE 12_風聞

蘋果公司一度是個“神話”，如今隨着5G IPHONE 12的發佈也【破滅】了。真想不作為最全球化的高科技公司之一，5G IPHONE 12是第一個嚴格區分“美國製式”和“國際制式”的產品，在美國發售5G IPHONE 12是“美國特供版”，最多支持加拿大使用，甚至連歐洲的5G網絡也用不了。

下面看看“真探”為大家整理的專家和網友的反應（圖自網絡）：

美國《時代》雜誌的標題最直接：想要5G，別買 IPHONE 12

ZDNET的標題也超直接：5G買 IPHONE 12是浪費錢

與韓國和中國等其他國家相比，美國5G的採用，覆蓋範圍和速度仍然很糟糕。實際上，根據PCMag的數據，AT＆T和Verizon等美國主要無線運營商提供的5G速度實際上比現有4G LTE網絡的速度慢。最新發現，全國範圍的5G速度“令每家運營商都感到失望”。

令人沮喪的實際結果部分是由於基礎設施問題造成的。作為全球最重要的5G組件製造商之一，華為已受到美國的制裁，原因是擔心這家總部位於中國的公司無法為幫助其構建骨幹網而感到信服。美國主要的無線網絡。因此，與使用華為設備的國家/地區相比，美國運營商被迫在沒有華為技術的情況下做出努力，從而導致5G發展緩慢。

U.S. 5G adoption, coverage and speeds remain abysmal compared to other countries like South Korea and China. In fact, 5G speeds on offer from major U.S. wireless carriers like AT&T and Verizon are actually slower than speeds on existing 4G LTE networks, according to PCMag, which has long published an annual report on wireless speeds across the country; the most recent edition found that nationwide 5G speeds were “disappointing all around, on every carrier.”

In part, the disheartening practical results are due to infrastructure issues—Huawei, one of the world’s foremost makers of 5G components, has been sanctioned by the U.S. amid fears that the China-based company can’t be trusted to help build the backbone for major American wireless networks. Thus, U.S. carriers have been forced to make do without Huawei’s tech, resulting in slower 5G development compared to countries that are using Huawei’s gear.

華盛頓特區戴維森的研究分析師湯姆·福特（Tom Forte）表示：“現在，我們擁有能夠利用5G無線網絡優勢的iPhone，但我們的網絡尚不完善。”。 “這可能要花幾年的時間。”

“今年，明年，蘋果公司的故事將是：當網絡不存在時，他們如何管理消費者的期望？” Tom Forte在發佈會之前表示。

“Now we have an iPhone that is capable of exploiting the benefits of the 5G wireless network, but we have an underdeveloped network,” said Tom Forte, a D.A. Davidson research analyst. “It could take a couple [of] years for that to happen.”

“This year, next year, the story for Apple is going to be: How do they manage consumer expectations when the network isn’t there?” DA Davidson analyst Tom Forte said ahead of the announcement.

Greengart警告説：“這些電話需要經過認證才能在這些頻率上工作。”他的建議是：期望新的iPhone 12支持其運營商目前銷售的5G，但不一定能在2022年或2023年實現。

“These phones will need to be certified to work on those frequencies,” Greengart warned. His advice: Expect a new iPhone 12 to support whatever 5G its carrier sells today, but not necessarily what they might light up in 2022 or 2023. 

普華永道美國諮詢公司戰略合作伙伴丹尼爾·海斯（Daniel Hays）表示：“對於某些消費者而言，5G體驗可能就像4G。 “我認為目前我們正在看到和體驗的事情是，圍繞5G的炒作目前遠遠超過了現實。”

Hays表示，全面部署5G網絡可能還需要五到七年的時間。

普華永道的研究表明，甚至在大流行改變人們的財務重點之前，許多消費者似乎還沒有準備好為更快的速度而掏腰包。

海斯表示，在該公司自己對消費者態度的研究中，2018年和2019年超過三分之二的移動用户不願為支持5G的手機支付更多費用。

“For some consumers, the experience on 5G might just feel a lot like 4G,” according to Daniel Hays, strategy partner at consulting firm PwC US. “I think the thing that we’re kind of seeing and experiencing at the moment is that the hype around 5G has far outpaced the reality at this point.”

The full 5G network roll-out is likely to take another five to seven years, Hays said.

And even before the pandemic shifted people’s financial priorities, many consumers didn’t appear to be ready to shell out for faster speeds, PwC research suggested.

In the firm’s own research on consumer attitudes, more than two-thirds of mobile users in 2018 and 2019 were unwilling to pay more for 5G-enabled phones, Hays said.

iPhone所有者可以幫助環境的第一件事就是不要購買新的iPhone。或購買二手或翻新的。

The No. 1 thing an iPhone owner can do to help the environment is not buy a new iPhone. Or buy a used or refurbished one.

上個月當我在舊金山灣地區測試三星的5G手機時，下載速度僅比4G手機略高-在某些地方更差！美國電信運營商有很多工作要做，才能兑現蒂姆·庫克在主題演講中所承諾的：5G是“超快的”。

When I tested Samsung’s 5G phones last month in the San Francisco Bay area, I got download speeds that were only marginally better than on 4G phones — and in some places worse! U.S. carriers have a lot of work to do to live up to what Tim Cook promised in his keynote presentation: that 5G is “super fast.”

我的建議：大多數人現在不需要iPhone 12，但是您可能在一兩年之內就需要…屆時可能會有配備5G的iPhone 13或14。 iPhone 12是您購買的手機，因為您打算保留一會兒。

My takeaway: Most people don’t need an iPhone 12 now, but you might want one in a year or two … by which point there could be an iPhone 13 or 14 with 5G. The iPhone 12 is the phone you buy because you’re planning to hold onto it for a while.

美國網友吐槽：美國5G信號糟糕透頂，一棵樹，下雨或者在街道轉個彎都會沒有信號。想要5G,除非住在信號塔樓下。

最後，“真探”想説：經常出國旅遊的“果粉”，你們的“末日”要來了，你想象一下如果帶着3台或以上iPhone過海關會有什麼“後果”，你對海關解釋説：我在中國用第一台，在歐洲用第二台，在美國用第三台，我在……
