iPhone 12用家嘅煩惱:點解唔急換iPhone 17?

點解我會繼續用iPhone 12多一年 — 而且唔係淨係為咗慳錢

蘋果啱啱宣佈咗全新iPhone 17系列,但我未打算換機,原因唔止係想慳錢。

過去幾年,大家換iPhone都幾頻密,因為每一代新機都帶嚟重大升級同新功能,令用家感覺到明顯嘅飛躍。不過,隨住iPhone愈來愈成熟,呢啲升級變得細微,硬件亦愈來愈耐用,令用家換機周期自然拉長。

同時,大家對預算更加謹慎。根據Statista嘅研究,未來到2027年,用家平均換機周期將達到約2.93年,明顯比以前長。就好似我一樣,仍然用緊2020年推出嘅iPhone 12。年初時,我諗住今年秋天iPhone 17出咗就換機,但而家諗清楚,決定再用多一年。點解?因為我部iPhone 12依然好用,電池狀況佳,屏幕只有一條細微裂痕,而且仲可以升級到最新嘅iOS 26。以下係我繼續用iPhone 12嘅幾個原因。

舊款iPhone依然支援iOS 26

蘋果最新嘅操作系統iOS 26,支援返最少iPhone 11開始嘅機型。呢點好重要,因為Apple產品嘅使用體驗好大程度係靠操作系統。蘋果生態系統係設計成令各裝置互相配合,提升整體使用感受,而唔係孤立嘅單一裝置。

升級到最新系統就可以用到好多新功能,例如重新設計嘅「Liquid Glass」介面、相機同相片App嘅優化、自動來電過濾,甚至視乎你嘅iPhone型號,仲有AI功能例如即時翻譯、捷徑同視覺智能等。

蘋果嘅軟件支援時間亦越嚟越長,雖然官方冇明確講支援幾多年,但一般可以預期有五年甚至七年以上嘅安全更新。

所以,唔一定要最新款iPhone先用到最新功能,但要留意唔同型號會有啲功能限制,最好先查清楚自己部機支唔支持。

蘋果硬件耐用度高

我用過好多手機,由2000年代初嘅Nokia摺機,到Blackberry,再到唔同代嘅iPhone,硬件耐用度逐代提升。iPhone 17確實有明顯升級,例如機身更輕薄、120Hz ProMotion屏幕(以前只係Pro機型先有)、改良嘅散熱系統、新嘅A19晶片、12GB RAM同8K錄影能力。

但問題係,你真係需要呢啲新功能嗎?對大部分普通用家嚟講,iPhone 12雙鏡頭12MP相機已經可以拍出好靚嘅相片。專業攝影我會用DSLR,相信唔係每個人都需要新機先做到。

我可能會錯過啲咩?

iPhone 17系列中,最特別係新推出嘅Air款,機身超薄只有5.5mm,6.6吋大屏幕,邊框極幼,係蘋果迄今為止最薄嘅手機。如果你好鐘意呢款設計,呢部機可能值得升級,尤其佢嘅售價係相對親民嘅900美元。

不過,Air機型為咗輕薄犧牲咗超廣角同長焦鏡頭,只配備單一48MP鏡頭,代表佢係輕薄設計嘅取向,唔係硬件全面升級。

另外,如果你想用iOS 26入面一啲新嘅Apple Intelligence AI功能,例如Apple Music嘅AutoMix、Hold Assist、空間相片或者AI生成嘅Genmojis,就需要最少係配備A17 Pro晶片嘅iPhone 15以上機型。舊款iPhone就用唔到呢啲功能。

總結嚟講,iPhone每代都變得更加耐用同強大,值得用多幾年。iPhone 17係近年較具代表性嘅升級,但我暫時未急住換,想睇下iPhone 12仲可以撐幾耐,畢竟佢本身就係設計嚟耐用嘅。

編輯評論:

呢篇文章好好反映咗現今智能手機市場一個明顯趨勢:升級週期拉長同硬件耐用度提升。過去手機更新換代速度快,令消費者不停追新,但今時今日,尤其係蘋果,硬件質素同軟件支援期都大大提升,用家無迫切需要每年甚至隔年換機。

我認為呢個現象除了反映用家更加理性消費外,亦有環保意識逐漸抬頭嘅影響。電子廢料問題日益嚴重,延長手機使用壽命係減少浪費嘅一種實際做法。

另外,文章提到新款iPhone 17 Air雖然設計吸引,但犧牲鏡頭配置,顯示蘋果為咗追求輕薄同美學,會喺硬件上做出取捨。呢點亦係消費者換機時要考慮嘅重要因素,唔一定越新越好。

最後,AI功能只限新機型使用,反映科技升級帶嚟嘅新體驗同時亦可能造成數碼鴻溝,一部分用家無法享受到最新技術。點樣平衡創新同普及,係蘋果同其他科技公司未來要面對嘅挑戰。

總括而言,呢篇報導不單止係一篇換機理性分析,更提醒我哋科技產品嘅生命週期同用家心態都正慢慢變化,值得業界同消費者共同關注。

Create a cinematic, studio-quality close-up portrait (9:16 aspect ratio, 4K resolution) of a young East Asian woman on a winter afternoon in Taipei. She stands at the entrance plaza of a bustling shopping mall, bathed in the soft, golden glow of the warm winter sun. She wears a stylish white cocktail dress with a short skirt, her look elegant yet youthful.

Her pose is playful and animated: she raises both hands joyfully above her head, holding a handmade cardboard sign. Written in bold strokes of black marker, the sign reads: "TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY." Her facial expression is a beautiful blend of joy and gentle shyness—her sparkling eyes and slight blush convey excitement and a touch of bashfulness.

The background subtly hints at the urban Taipei atmosphere, with softly blurred neon signs, modern architecture, and passersby dressed for the season, adding depth and authenticity. Capture delicate details: sunlight warming her skin, the gentle flow of her hair, and the texture of the handwritten sign. The overall mood is warm, festive, and inviting—a true cinematic moment infused with personality and charm.

She is wearing a long, flowing red gown with a one-shoulder design and a thigh-high slit, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her head is slightly tilted, with one hand gently resting on her chin. One leg is slightly extended, revealing a delicate ankle bracelet. Her makeup is polished and natural, featuring defined eyebrows, subtle eyeshadow, mascara, and a berry-toned lipstick. She wears delicate earrings and a gold bracelet that add a touch of sparkle to her overall look. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating a warm and flattering effect that emphasizes her beauty and the flowing lines of the gown. The background is a plain, brown, providing a warm and neutral backdrop. *** The composition is a full shot, capturing her from head to toe, framed vertically to accentuate her height and the flowing lines of the gown. The model is positioned in the center of the frame, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The overall style is classic, elegant, and timeless, reminiscent of portrait photography, evoking a sense of grace, sophistication, and enduring beauty. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓
