【神话破灭】连美国专家也看不下去的5G IPHONE 12_风闻

苹果公司一度是个“神话”，如今随着5G IPHONE 12的发布也【破灭】了。真想不作为最全球化的高科技公司之一，5G IPHONE 12是第一个严格区分“美国制式”和“国际制式”的产品，在美国发售5G IPHONE 12是“美国特供版”，最多支持加拿大使用，甚至连欧洲的5G网络也用不了。

下面看看“真探”为大家整理的专家和网友的反应（图自网络）：

美国《时代》杂志的标题最直接：想要5G，别买 IPHONE 12

ZDNET的标题也超直接：5G买 IPHONE 12是浪费钱

与韩国和中国等其他国家相比，美国5G的采用，覆盖范围和速度仍然很糟糕。实际上，根据PCMag的数据，AT＆T和Verizon等美国主要无线运营商提供的5G速度实际上比现有4G LTE网络的速度慢。最新发现，全国范围的5G速度“令每家运营商都感到失望”。

令人沮丧的实际结果部分是由于基础设施问题造成的。作为全球最重要的5G组件制造商之一，华为已受到美国的制裁，原因是担心这家总部位于中国的公司无法为帮助其构建骨干网而感到信服。美国主要的无线网络。因此，与使用华为设备的国家/地区相比，美国运营商被迫在没有华为技术的情况下做出努力，从而导致5G发展缓慢。

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.

华盛顿特区戴维森的研究分析师汤姆·福特（Tom Forte）表示：“现在，我们拥有能够利用5G无线网络优势的iPhone，但我们的网络尚不完善。”。 “这可能要花几年的时间。”

“今年，明年，苹果公司的故事将是：当网络不存在时，他们如何管理消费者的期望？” Tom Forte在发布会之前表示。

“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警告说：“这些电话需要经过认证才能在这些频率上工作。”他的建议是：期望新的iPhone 12支持其运营商目前销售的5G，但不一定能在2022年或2023年实现。

“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. 

普华永道美国咨询公司战略合作伙伴丹尼尔·海斯（Daniel Hays）表示：“对于某些消费者而言，5G体验可能就像4G。 “我认为目前我们正在看到和体验的事情是，围绕5G的炒作目前远远超过了现实。”

Hays表示，全面部署5G网络可能还需要五到七年的时间。

普华永道的研究表明，甚至在大流行改变人们的财务重点之前，许多消费者似乎还没有准备好为更快的速度而掏腰包。

海斯表示，在该公司自己对消费者态度的研究中，2018年和2019年超过三分之二的移动用户不愿为支持5G的手机支付更多费用。

“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所有者可以帮助环境的第一件事就是不要购买新的iPhone。或购买二手或翻新的。

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.

上个月当我在旧金山湾地区测试三星的5G手机时，下载速度仅比4G手机略高-在某些地方更差！美国电信运营商有很多工作要做，才能兑现蒂姆·库克在主题演讲中所承诺的：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.”

我的建议：大多数人现在不需要iPhone 12，但是您可能在一两年之内就需要…届时可能会有配备5G的iPhone 13或14。 iPhone 12是您购买的手机，因为您打算保留一会儿。

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.

美国网友吐槽：美国5G信号糟糕透顶，一棵树，下雨或者在街道转个弯都会没有信号。想要5G,除非住在信号塔楼下。

最后，“真探”想说：经常出国旅游的“果粉”，你们的“末日”要来了，你想象一下如果带着3台或以上iPhone过海关会有什么“后果”，你对海关解释说：我在中国用第一台，在欧洲用第二台，在美国用第三台，我在……
