苹果新发布的iPhone 6S和6S Plus带来了大量的升级和新功能，不过最酷的新功能应该是“Live Photos”（动态图片）。

    这种新的图片格式类似于照片和短视频的综合体。当你按下快门键时，相机会捕捉下前后共约1.5秒的图像，它类似于GIF动态图片，也可以包括声音。哈利•波特的粉丝肯定一眼就能看出，它就像是曾在魔法世界里出现的动态照片。

    苹果公司声称，其所有设备都将支持播放这种新图片格式，而且它不会比传统照片占用更多空间。其他公司很快也将支持这一格式。在周三举行的发布会上，苹果公司营销副总裁菲尔•席勒称，Facebook计划在今年晚些时候推出支持这一格式的应用程序。

    最新发布的iPhone手机还将配备可拍摄4K视频的1200万像素iSight后置摄像头，以及配有Retina Flash闪光灯的500万像素前置摄像头。（财富中文网）

    Apple’s new iPhones, the 6S and 6S Plus, come chock-full of upgrades and features, but perhaps the coolest one is dubbed “Live Photos.”

    The new photo format is somewhat of a hybrid between a photograph and a short video. Lasting about 1.5 seconds before and after you press the shutter button, it’s somewhat akin to a GIF, and can include sound as well. Harry Potter fans will recognize this from the magical world’s animated photographs.

    Apple says that all its devices will support playback of the new format, which won’t take up much more storage space than a traditional photo, and soon other companies will too. Facebook is slated to roll out support for it later this year, Apple VP of marketing Phil Schiller said on stage at the company’s event on Wednesday.

    The new phones will sport a 12 megapixel iSight camera on the back with the ability to shoot 4K video, and a 5 megapixel high-definition camera on the front with Retina flash.
