苹果首席执行官约翰·特纳斯告诉《时代》杂志，“所有选项都应该摆上桌面”，针对存储芯片而言，此前有报道称苹果测试了中国制造的存储芯片。特纳斯于9月1日接任首席执行官。他登上了《时代》杂志2026年最佳发明刊的 ，该刊物聚焦iPhone Duo。
Apple chief executive John Ternus told TIME that “all options should be on the table” on memory chips, after reports that Apple tested Chinese-made memory. Ternus took over as CEO on 1 September. He is on the cover of TIME’s 2026 Best Inventions issue, which features the iPhone Duo.
“存储方面的限制绝对是一场危机。”约翰·特纳斯，苹果首席执行官，对《时代》杂志表示。7月，《金融时报》报道称苹果已开始测试一家中国公司的存储芯片，《时代》杂志写道。随后，一跨党派参议员小组致信苹果，认为此举将危及国家安全。美国政府也曾警告苹果远离中国制造的存储芯片。
“The constraints in memory are absolutely a crisis.”John Ternus, Apple CEO, to TIME In July, the Financial Times reported that Apple had begun testing memory chips from a Chinese company, TIME wrote. A bipartisan group of senators then wrote to Apple, arguing that this would imperil national security. The US government has also warned Apple off Chinese memory chips.
据《时代》杂志报道，可折叠的特纳斯及另外五名工程师于2011年为可折叠设备提交了专利申请。他表示，其他公司推出的首批可折叠设备“感觉有点廉价和劣质”。
The foldable Ternus and five other engineers filed a patent application for foldable devices in 2011, according to TIME. He said the first foldables from other companies “felt kind of cheap and crappy”.
iPhone Duo起售价为1999美元。其铰链包含超过100个微小精密部件，表面采用定制聚合物制成，《时代》杂志报道。交付已推迟至2027年。人工智能与“狂热边缘群体”苹果在美国9月推出的全新Siri使用了一款借鉴谷歌Gemini技术的苹果模型。特纳斯否定了依赖竞争对手意味着苹果在整体产品制造上的退缩这一观点。
The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999. Its hinge has more than 100 tiny precision parts, under a surface made from a custom polymer, TIME reported. Deliveries have already slipped into 2027. AI and the ‘lunatic fringe’Apple’s new Siri, launched in the US in September, uses an Apple model that draws on Google’s Gemini technology. Ternus rejected the idea that relying on a rival is a retreat from Apple making the whole product.
“我们并没有真的必须让产品中的每一个部件都由自己制造的目标。”约翰·特纳斯，对《时代》杂志表示。苹果在能够脱颖而出的部件上进行制造，他说。
“There’s not really a goal that we have to make every single thing in a product.”John Ternus, to TIME Apple makes the parts where it can stand out, he said.
他还表示，他看不到设备会消失的情景，因为“人们想要实体的东西”。苹果公司全球营销高级副总裁格雷格·乔斯维亚克表示，苹果为普通人打造人工智能。他说，这并不是针对硅谷的“狂热边缘群体”。关于OpenAI的硬件计划，乔斯维亚克说：“我们不感到受到威胁。”华盛顿和蒂姆·库克特纳斯表示，他已经会见了特朗普政府的成员，以确保他们“共同推进事情”。现任苹果执行董事长的蒂姆·库克仍在代表苹果在海外开展工作，《时代》杂志报道。
He also said he does not see a scenario in which devices disappear, because “people want physical things”. Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said Apple builds AI for everyday people. It is not aimed at Silicon Valley’s “lunatic fringe”, he said. On OpenAI’s hardware plans, Joswiak said: “We don’t feel threatened.”Washington and Tim Cook Ternus said he has met members of the Trump administration to make sure they are “working through things together”. Tim Cook, now Apple’s executive chairman, is still representing Apple abroad, TIME reported.
