我现在正在回顾微软Surface Duo和三星Galaxy Z Fold 2——它们就在我的办公桌上，旁边是另一款折叠**Galaxy Z Flip。这三个代表了不同的想法，如何使折叠式电话和所有这三个是令人望而却步的昂贵。即使在我的评论结束的时候，我不得不去寻找他们脱掉的袜子，我想我不太可能告诉你去买它们中的任何一个——或者是翻盖。

然而，这并不意味着我会严厉地评判任何买过它们的人。这是因为这些超级昂贵的**属于智能**行业自iPhone问世之前就一直试图打入的一个类别：奢侈品。Vertu曾因在bog标准**上镶嵌钻石而声名鹊起，并称之为奢侈品，但新的折叠**却另当别论。

我把这个时事通讯发布得比平常晚一点，这样它就可以与处理器视频（最后，一些品牌协同效应！）相吻合。在书中，我看了一下这三类折叠**，并认为每一类都有不同的用途。

三星自己也发现，豪华是今年定位Z Fold 2的方式。去年，它确信自己正在为每个人创造一个未来，并围绕着最初的经典小玩意未来主义（gadget futuri**）叙事。它就像原来的折叠屏幕一样崩溃了。今年，该公司并没有假装Z Fold 2是一款适合所有人的**——谢天谢地，因为在2000美元的价格下，这样做是一种侮辱。

不过，简单地说这些都是与手袋、手表或名牌服装一脉相承的奢侈品并不能完全奏效。首先，这些其他产品比消费类电子产品更有价值。另一方面，它们通常不会承诺比普通价格的同类产品做更多的事情——它们只是同样的东西，质量更高，附带了一个独家品牌。

这种小玩意的比喻就是豪华汽车。像折叠**一样，它们提供了更好的质量和更多的功能，同时从根本上说是一样的东西：汽车。

我在考虑这个问题，因为这是我把这些价格放在有意义的背景下的唯一方法。这也有助于我说明，即使你不买这些**，你也应该注意它们。这些**讲述的故事是科技公司希望**走向何方的故事——或者继续汽车类比，科技公司希望在哪里驾驶**。

如果你对Duo和Z-Fold 2本身很好奇，我可以告诉你的是，我最初的印象是这两款车的硬件都做得很好，但原因不同。对于一款拥有两个屏幕和智能**所有常用部件的设备来说，这对搭档几乎是不可能的瘦。Z Flip 2有一个玻璃屏幕和一个精致的铰链，使整个事情感觉比原来的（或原来的匆忙修订）要轻松得多。

我只能告诉你这么多。微软已经告诉评论者，在审查禁令解除之前，他们不能分享除了硬件印象之外的任何东西，而我只是在Z Fold 2上没有超过一天的时间。

他们共有的财产是双重的。首先，把钱花在它们身上的主要原因不是功能，而是奢华。其次，他们正试图开启智能**的下一个大趋势。

折叠，二重奏，和翻转都有非常不同的想法，这一趋势将实际上是什么。我不知道他们是否都能共存，或者是否有一个能以同样的方式胜出矩形玻璃板成为2010年代的默认。

但在一家公司认真考虑降价之前，我会一直称折叠**为奢侈品。归根结底，让某样东西成为奢侈品的原因是你不需要它。

┏苹果不久将发布两款苹果手表和一款新的iPad Air:report。我一直在想，彭博社什么时候会放弃对苹果秋季硬件事件的年度戏谑。马克·古尔曼和德比·吴展示了所有的新产品：四部5G iPhone、两块苹果手表和一块无边框的iPad Air。这将是一个繁忙的秋天！

┏三星Galaxy Z Fold 2将于9月18日上市，售价1999.99美元。

┏以下是如何预订售价1999.99美元的三星Galaxy Z Fold 2。

┏三星Galaxy Tab S7和S7 Plus将于9月18日上市。

┏英伟达宣布推出新款RTX3080GPU，售价699美元，将于9月17日上市。希望您的电脑保持在空气流通良好的区域：

At the heart of this new GPU is an updated thermal design. Nvidia has created a new pennant-shaped board for its RTX 3080, combined with a new cooling shroud. The new cooling solution is designed to improve airflow and overcome some of the c***traints of the cooling soluti*** that exist on the RTX 2080 today. It includes a dual fan setup that is designed to improve airflow by more than 55 percent, with promises of much quieter and more efficient cooling. Nvidia is using a bracket exhausting front fan, with a flow through rear fan.

┏Nvidia的新RTX3090是一款售价1499美元的怪物GPU，专为8K游戏设计。汤姆·沃伦是对的，这东西是个野兽：

While the RTX 3080 will ship with 10GB of G6X memory, the RTX 3090 ships with a huge 24GB of G6X memory. Nvidia is promising that the RTX 3090 will be capable of 60fps gaming at 8K resoluti***. This new flagship card is more akin to Nvidia’s Titan series and will ship on September 24th priced at $1,499.

┏Bang&amp；Olufsen价值800美元的降噪耳机复制了微软Surface耳机最好的部分。克里斯·韦尔奇：

You can get a stellar pair of headphones for much, much less than that, but the audio specialist is hoping to leapfrog Sony, Bose, and other headphone makers in craft**anship and sound quality. With their lambskin ear pads (with memory foam inside), aluminum frame, and leather headband, these certainly look the part of top-end, premium headphones. With the H95 headphones, Bang & Olufsen also copied one of the best things about Microsoft’s Surface Headphones: the dial controls.

┏Sonos专利使人们可以第一眼看到未经宣布的耳机。乔恩·波特收集了一堆你可能错过的谣言。不过，祝索诺斯在这方面好运，因为这似乎极不可能：

The patent shows a couple of designs that look similar to other over-ear headphones from the likes of Sony and Sennheiser. It also menti*** support for multiple voice assistants via wake words, as well as Sonos-specific features like integrating with an existing multi-room speaker setup.

┏华硕Zenfone 7 Pro评论：连接笨重**的翻动相机很有趣。正如我之前提到的，去年的Zenfone是一个惊喜。正如乔恩·波特在评论中指出的那样，续集除了重要的部分外，几乎所有的东西都是对的：高质量的照片与轻薄的相机不相上下。

┏Zendure SuperTank Pro是乐观主义者的绝佳旅行充电器。Chaim Gartenberg开发了一款小玩意，由于旅行受到限制，很少有人能买到，但它还是很酷的。如果我没有一个巨大的电池，以防停电，我可能会看看这个：

It has the exact same capacity as the previous model at 26,800mAh / 96.48Wh battery (the maximum that you can legally take on a commercial flight according to Federal Aviation Administration rules), but it’s upgraded the ports c***iderably. Instead of a USB-C / USB-A split, the SuperTank Pro fully embraces the future with four USB-C ports along with higher and more c***istent power output.

┏苹果和谷歌宣布推出新的自动应用程序系统来跟踪COVID曝光。拉塞尔·布兰多姆：

Under the new system, participating health departments will assemble a configuration file, allowing them to set their risk scores, redirect users to their specific health department website, and modify the recommendation for users who have been exposed. Once the configuration is complete, iOS and Android can automatically generate the necessary software, although the two operating systems handle the task differently. In Android, the configuration file will automatically generate a custom Android app, while iOS will incorporate the settings into its OS-level contact system. The iOS version will be built into iOS 13.7, which is set to deploy on Tuesday. Android is planning to deploy the system later this month to all users with Android 6.0 or higher.
