Apple launched a new series of iPhones that included a new titanium shell, a faster chip and
improved video game playing abilities. The iPhone 15, which will come out Sept. 22, has the
same debut price as the iPhone14. Experts have said this reflects the ongoing global smart
phones lump.

蘋果推出新系列 iPhone 包括新的鈦金屬外殼，更快的晶片和改進的電玩遊戲功能，將於 9 月

22 日開賣的 iPhone 15 最大驚喜是它沒有漲價，反映出全球智慧手機市場持續的低迷。

Apple also showed off new watches, including a Series 9 Watch with a feature called double
tap where users tap their thumb and finger to get her twice, without touching the watch,
in order to perform tasks like answering a phone call. Apple said the iPhone 15's satellite
connectivity can now be used to summon roadside assistance. Apple said that USB-C charging
cables are coming to both its iPhone15 and the charging case of its AirPods Pro devices.

蘋果還展示新款手錶，包括所謂「雙擊」功能的 Series 9 手錶；用戶不用接觸手錶，而是同時

叫道路救援，iPhone 15 和 AirPods Pro 裝置的充電盒，都將配 Type-C 充電線。

OneRepublic 於 2022 年的歌曲，也是電影捍衛戰士 2-獨行俠(Top Gun: Maverick)的電影主題曲之
一，相較起 Lady Gaga 的 Hold My Hand 此首歌曲的曲風相當輕鬆愉快，為電影點綴了最愉悅的
氛圍。OneRepublic 在詮釋這種輕鬆俏皮的歌曲，可說做得相當入味。

補充說明:
「ain't」為「am/are/is not」或「has/have not」的縮寫。為非正式口語用法。

例句: He ain't going. = He is not going. 他不會去了。

Things ain't what they used to be. = Things are not what they used to be. 事情不是過去的樣子了。
