NEWS ◆ 苹果新动向 ◆ 苹果在日本开放第三方应用商店后，Epic CEO 斯威尼痛批「还在收垃圾费」 12 月 18 日消息，苹果宣布为日本 iPhone 开放第三方应用商店和支付体系后，Epic Games CEO 蒂姆・ 斯威尼迅速公开表达不满，直指苹果设置的垃圾费用将直接阻止《堡垒之夜》回归 iOS 平台。 | | | 在斯威尼看来，苹果的开放只是表面文章。他在 X 平台发文称，苹果在允许第三方应用商店存在的同 时，仍对通过竞争性商店分发的应用收入加收所谓的垃圾费用，具体做法是对相关收入额外征收 5% 的 费用，并通过强制接口监控交易行为。 斯威尼认为，这种垃圾费用本质上仍是对分发和支付环节的控制，与开放初衷背道而驰，而且类似做法 此前已被美国法院认定违法。基于这一收费结构，Epic Games 已决定放弃在 2025 年将《堡垒之夜》带 回日本 iOS 平台的计划。（新闻来源：IT之家） 苹果全能视觉 AI 模型 UniGen 1.5 亮相，看图、修图、绘图三合一 12 月 19 日消息，科技媒体 9to5Mac 昨日（12 月 18 日）发布博文，报道称苹果研究团队近日发布多模 态 AI 模型 ...

来源：环球网 据用户反馈，AirPods Pro 3的噪音问题主要表现为开启主动降噪功能且未播放媒体时，会出现明显的静 电样声音或噼啪声，部分用户还遭遇间歇性的高音啸叫声。这一问题早在10月下旬就已被曝光，但苹果 11月推出的8B25版本固件及12月10日推送的8B30版本固件，均未有效解决该问题。 【环球网科技综合报道】12月19日，外媒macrumors报道称，自苹果AirPods Pro 3耳机推出以来，其存 在的静电噪音、噼啪声等音质问题持续引发用户不满。尽管苹果先后推送两次固件更新试图修复，但截 至目前问题仍未解决，部分用户更换设备后困扰依旧，引发市场对该产品质量的广泛关注。 安装更新后的用户表示，噪音问题不仅未消除，部分场景下播放媒体时也会出现静电噪音，同时还新增 了视频观看时的延迟、音画不同步等问题。为解决困扰，不少用户选择联系苹果官方更换耳机，但令人 意外的是，更换后的AirPods Pro 3仍存在相同的噪音问题，这让用户质疑问题根源可能出在硬件上，而 非软件层面。 外媒指出，苹果对这两次固件更新的说明均较为模糊，仅以"错误修复及其他改进"一笔带过，未针对用 户集中反馈的噪音问题作出任何回应 ...
