实测 iPhone 国行 AI:有亮点有槽点,还有一个惊喜点
就在刚刚,随着 iOS 27.3 开发者测试版更新,我们苦等两年多的苹果智能,终于向国内用户开放测试了!
从 2024 年 WWDC 首次亮相,到如今真正装进国行设备里,苹果这张画了两年的 AI 大饼,总算端到了我们面前。
更关键的是,苹果这次给国行版找了个不错的本土搭档:千问。
这次的国行苹果智能,由苹果自研模型与阿里千问共同撑起底座。诸如照片消除、基础润色这类功能直接在端侧运行;而一旦遇到复杂任务,系统则会通过 Siri、写作工具和视觉智能去调用千问的云端能力。
至于哪些 iPhone 能用、国行与海外版有何区别,以及 Apple 账号和地区限制等问题,我们此前已经做过详细梳理,感兴趣的朋友可以移步阅读刚刚,国行 Apple 智能官宣,但满血 SiriAI 还得等。
等了这么久,国行 Apple 智能到底实际表现怎么样?
在正式看体验之前,如果你手里正好有受支持的机型,也想第一时间尝鲜国行 Apple 智能,可以通过以下步骤获取这次的开发者测试版:
先在 App Store 搜索并下载官方的「Apple Developer」应用,在账户栏登录自己的 Apple ID;稍等片刻后,打开系统的「设置 – 通用 – 软件更新」,就能在「Beta 版更新」里刷出最新的 iOS 27 Developer Beta 了。
毕竟是首版开发者测试固件,系统里不可避免地存在一些 Bug ,如果你手里只有一台日常高频使用的主力机,建议等到 12 月正式版发布后再稳妥上车。
Siri、修图、翻译好用吗?
本次系统更新的包体巨大,足足有 12GB,升级前请务必为手机留出足够大的存储空间。
且由于国行 AI 大量能力依赖端侧模型运行,需要建立新的资料检索,因此在刚上手的当下,存在一些稳定性问题,譬如相册里的自然语言搜索、回忆影片,以及锁屏的通知总结等功能都需要等待索引完成,可能需要等待一到两天才能能正常使用。
接下来,挑几个重点功能为大家实测一下:
全新 Siri
打头阵的,当然是 Siri。告别了那个只会设闹钟、查天气,稍微问深一点就甩给你几个网页链接的「人工智障」,换上跑马灯新皮肤的 Siri,终于支持双击屏幕底部横条,直接打字交互了。
实测下来,如果你只是问点简单的日常问题,或者直白地下达基础设置指令,它能直接搞定。但只要你稍微绕个弯,Siri 仍然是会蒙圈。
至于一句话塞两个任务、或者更深层的复杂系统调度,它依然无能为力——就系统控制力而言,它骨子里还是以前那个大家熟悉的 Siri。
那遇到更复杂的长难任务呢?我们直接丢给它一个写攻略的需求:「我下个月想去九寨沟玩四天,帮我安排一份旅游攻略。」
面对这种超出自身能力范围的问题,国行版 Siri 会弹窗询问你是否同意调用千问,并提示需要登录千问账号(如果你在这里选择拒绝调用,Siri 会干脆利落地直接放弃回答。)
在点击同意调用之后,大概 7、8 秒之后就会生成答案。单看生成速度确实不慢,但细看内容就有点露怯了。它给出的所谓四日攻略,不论是住宿建议还是景点安排都写得极其简略,信息密度很低,顶多只能算是一个非常初步的大纲预览,实际效果是远不如在千问 app 里直接提问的。
图片消除
相比依然有些木讷的 Siri,照片 App 里的「消除」功能感知要直接得多,这项能力调用的是苹果的端侧模型。
实测下来,苹果智能的消除功能表现还是挺可圈可点的。
具体来说,如果画面里要抹掉的主体离镜头比较远、轮廓清晰,而且周围背景比较干净,消除的效果非常干净利落,而且画质损失很小,单张照片的体积大概只会减少 0.2MB 左右。
可一旦你要求删除的主体比较复杂——比如我们测试图中大面积的草地和鹅卵石路面,就比较容易翻车。消除完之后,被涂抹的区域会留下一块分辨率极低的模糊色块,跟周围原本清晰的画质格格不入。
实时翻译
另一个体验下来能打好评的功能,是 Apple 智能的「实时翻译」。
这项能力同样依赖于端侧模型,初次使用时需要下载对应翻译语言的语言包,每个大概在 2GB 左右。
苹果把这项能力塞进了信息、电话、FaceTime 等应用里,甚至连接 AirPods 时,还能实现「边聊边译」。
实测下来,实时翻译功能在日常口语对话时表现让人惊喜,它的反应速度很快,延迟不到 1 秒,准确率也还不错,足够支撑你和老外顺畅交流。
写作工具
在任意可以进行文本输入的地方,选中文字,就能调用写作工具进行改写、校对、总结,写作工具绝对是打工人最容易用上的功能。但对于国行版本,我们更关心的是,这套从海外引进的 AI 写作工具,会不会在中文语境里「水土不服」?
比如一段比较生硬的催稿消息:「你们之前说周五交方案,现在已经周一了,为什么还没发过来?请尽快处理。」用写作工具尝试改写,哪怕我们特意切到了最温和的「友好」模式,改出来的句子还是会有一板一眼的感觉。以及包括更多的摘要、要点等功能,都跟大部分的 ChatBot 的水平类似。
不过在调用的便捷度上,苹果倒是发挥了系统级的优势。实测只要是有文字输入框的地方——不管是系统自带的备忘录,还是微信、飞书、钉钉这类第三方应用,都能轻松的去调用,还是比较方便的。
视觉智能
苹果这次还把识别能力搬到了现实世界——视觉智能,长按「相机控制」按键就能激活,主要有两种交互入口:「询问」和「搜索」。
左边的「询问」接入了阿里千问的能力,本意是让你直接针对眼前的物品提问,比如拍一下护肤品,顺便问问它的核心成分和用途。
右边的「搜索」则接近我们熟悉的「以图搜图」,默认使用的是百度的视觉模型,可以快速检索到百度上能搜到的同类图片。
但我们在测试时发现了一个惊喜点:除了百度识图以外,许多 app 通过接入对应的 API 接口,也能提供类似的功能。
譬如在手机里安装了得物,它就出现在了可选的搜索服务列表中,并检索到得物里在售的类似物品;甚至连我手机里装的一款冷门和弦查询应用 Guitar Wiz,也出现在了可选的搜索服务列表中,可以用于查询和弦。
不难推测,苹果大概率为第三方应用开放了对应的 API 接口——只要开发者做过适配,用户手机里装了对应的 App,就能直接通过视觉智能调起它的搜索能力。我们很期待淘宝、小红书等应用接入后的表现。
除了以上 AI 能力之外,国行 AI 还支持智慧表情(Genmoji)功能,在聊天斗图的时候,可以方便地做点表情包:
幽默。
苹果离真正的智能,还有多远
把国行 Apple 智能的首批功能挨个摸了一遍后,平时关注苹果的朋友心里应该都有数——说白了,这就是 2024 年海外最早推送的「初版」 Apple Intelligence,并非苹果最新的手机 AI 解决方案。
事实上,在 iOS 27.3 的海外测试版中,SiriAI 已经支持繁体中文,并且能力上有了进一步的升级,愈发有成熟的趋势。
对比之下,刚刚更新的国行苹果智能多少显得有些不够「智能」。
但,这依然是里程碑式的进步。
苦等了两年多,中国用户的 iPhone 总算是把这块缺失已久的系统级 AI 拼图给补上了。更何况对绝大多数普通人来说,大家本来也没指望手机里突然蹦出个无所不能的科幻管家,无非是希望 Siri 别再像以前那样一问三不知,能用上像实时翻译、图片消除等好用的功能。
倘若细细追究,这台 iPhone 有没有因为 Apple 智能而发生什么「质变」?
显然没有。
目前的这批功能,本质上还是「AI +」的赋能思路——相册加上 AI,变成了照片消除;输入框加上 AI,变成了文字润色。在这里,AI 只是给原有应用打辅助的「外挂插件」,而不是手机的底层逻辑。
我们真正期待的,是 AI 能接管底层交互:当你对手机说一句「把朋友刚发的餐厅地址加进今晚日程,再看看从公司过去要多久」时,它能认出朋友、找到地址、写入日程,替你从头到尾把事情办妥。
其实苹果今年推出的新版 Siri AI,就是主打屏幕感知和情境理解,并具备一定的个人上下文管理能力。
即便如此,过去这段时间绝大多数用户,对 Apple Intelligence 乃至新版 Siri AI 的反馈也相当冷淡:
体验远没有宣传片里那么神。
爱范儿认为,造成这种落差的关键,还是在于长程行动能力与个人记忆管理。
手机,或许是每个人最亲近的电子设备,不仅能在后台长期记住你的生活轨迹——分辨出哪个是你的「朋友」,找到你的「公司」在哪,还能跨越权限去翻找聊天记录、调动日历和地图。
目前来看,苹果正在努力打通 Siri 与 iPhone 上的各个原生应用,使其数据得以流转,调度更加顺畅。
但我们的数字生活还高度绑在微信、美团、飞书这些三方 App 里,苹果就算把自家的备忘录和日历打通得再丝滑,只要进不去第三方应用的围墙,它对你的理解就是断层的。
平心而论,即便我们很快就能顺利用上国行版的新 Siri AI,短期内对我们的日常生活也不会有翻天覆地的影响。对于苹果而言,如何建立好个人上下文,让手机里的 AI 能够更好服务于人,依然是一件需要很长时间去沉淀的事情。
过去两年,我们很多发布会上看过太多眼花缭乱的「一句话点咖啡」演示,但真正把手机当主力机用上几个月就会发现,演示 Demo 里的惊艳,离每天日常使用的稳定可靠,中间还隔着十万八千里。
个人 AI 依然处于投入期,可却也是被所有人寄予厚望的「第二增长曲线」。
还是以苹果为例,尽管刚刚交出有史以来最好的财年财报,但仍面临巨大的挑战——
硬件利润正在被元器件涨价潮侵蚀,应用分成又被全球监管盯着不放,这时苹果的 AI 战略,既是守住硬件基本盘的防御塔,也是服务业务最顺理成章的增长点。
面对手握超过 25 亿台活跃设备、15 亿份付费订阅的庞大基本盘,苹果 AI 的商业价值不只是吸引消费者更新设备,也是用户多掏钱的理由。
在这次财报电话会上,苹果高管几乎把这套商业阳谋摆在了台面上。CFO Kevan Parekh 明确提到,AI 将通过自有服务与合作伙伴创造新的变现机会;新任 CEO John Ternus 更是直接剧透,未来像 Siri AI、高阶智能修图这类依赖云端大模型的功能,将会设置基础使用额度,重度用户需要付费购买更多额度的服务。
这也意味着,过去主要云端存储空间来吸引用户掏钱的 iCloud+,未来很可能会摇身一变,成为苹果兜售「云端算力与高阶智能」的订阅入口。苹果显然不打算只凭这一代产品的表现,来衡量这场长期投资的价值。
只不过,商业蓝图再性感,那也是苹果给华尔街讲的远期故事;回到我们自己手里这台 iPhone 上,眼下的预期还是不妨放平一些。
国行 Apple 智能的落地,说到底还是一次迟到的补课——它总算把中国用户缺失的那些 AI 基础功能给补上了。
至于什么时候才能用上那台真正的 AI Phone,无论苹果还是手机行业,或许还得再等等。

IPhone National Bank AI: Bright spots, slots, surprise spots
Just now, with the development of the iOS 27.3 test version, we've been waiting for over two years for apple intelligence to finally open to domestic users!
From 2024 WWDC's first appearance to the actual installation of the national equipment, the apple, the two-year-old AI pie, ended up in front of us.
More importantly, apples have found a good local partner for the national edition: Chiu Man.
This time, the country's apple intelligence was backed up by the apple self-study model with Ali. Functions such as photo removal, basic effacement run directly to the end; when a complex mission is encountered, the system calls on the cloud capacity of a thousand questions through Siri, writing tools and visual intelligence.
As to which iPhone can be used, what difference does it make between the national and overseas editions, and the Apple account numbers and regional restrictions, we've done a detailed comb, and interested friends can just read it, and the National Apple smarts announce, but blood is still waiting.
After all this time, how's Apple's real intelligence?
Before you officially look at the experience, if you have a supported machine in your hand, and you want to try the Apple smart first, you can get this developer's test version through the following steps:
Search for and download the official "Apple Devloper" application and log in your Apple ID in the account bar; in a moment, open the System's "Setting - Generic - Software Update" so that you can get the latest iOS 27 Devloper Beta in "Beta Edition Update".
After all, it's a first-end test firm, and there's inevitably some bugs in the system. If you only have a daily high frequency (HF) main machine, it's recommended to wait until the official publish in December.
Siri, fixes, translations good?
The package for this upgrade of the system is large enough to cover 12 GB, and before the upgrade, please make sure that there is sufficient storage space for mobile phones.
Given that the NBA ' s extensive capacity relies on end-side models and requires the creation of new information retrievals, there are a number of stability problems in the immediate future, such as natural language searches in albums, reminiscent films, and lock-screen bulletin summaries, which need to wait one or two days to be properly used.
So let's get to the point:
New Siri.
Headline, of course, Siri. The "Advanced Mentalist" who sets up the alarm clock, checks the weather, drops the links on several web pages, replaces Siri with a new skin, and finally supports double-clicking on the bottom of the screen and cross-clicking.
If you're just asking a simple question of routine, or giving the basic set-up instructions in a straight print, it can be done. But as long as you turn around a little bit, Siri is still blindfolded.
As for the word "diplomatic" on two missions, or a more sophisticated system, it still has nothing to do with-- - As far as system control is concerned, it's still inside the old, familiar Siri.
What about more complicated and difficult missions? We left it with a need to write a strategy: "I'm going to go to the Kageku next month for four days to help me arrange a tour plan."
In the face of this problem, which is beyond your capabilities, the state page Siri will be asked whether you will agree to call Chi Chi and suggest the need to log in the account number (if you choose to refuse to call here, Siri will simply give up the answer.
When you click to agree to call, the answer is about seven or eight seconds later. It's true that the rate of generation is not slow, but it's a little timid to look at the content. Its so-called four-day strategy, both accommodation proposals and site arrangements, is extremely brief, has a very low information density and, at best, is a very preliminary outline, with far less practical results than a direct question in a thousand questions.
Image Elimination
It's a much more direct "eliminating" sense than still some mundane Siri, and it's called the apple side model.
It's been measured that apples have a pretty good performance in elimination.
Specifically, if the subject to be erased is far removed from shot, the contours are clear and the surrounding background is cleaner, the elimination is very clean and the paint quality loss is very small, the size of a single photo will probably only decrease by about 0.2 MB.
But once you've asked for the removal of the subject to be more complex -- for example, we've tested large grasslands and pebbles on the map, it's easier to roll over. Once eliminated, the resolution is left with a very low, blurry piece of paint, which is alien to the original clarity of the painting.
Translation in real time
Another feature that can be rated positively is Apple's smart "real time translation".
This capability also relies on end-side models, which require downloading language packages in the language of translation for initial use, each approximately 2GB.
Apples are able to "talk and translate" when they plug this power into information, telephone, FaceTime, etc., and even when they connect AirPods.
It has been measured that the real-time translation function is surprising when you talk in daily languages, that it reacts quickly, with less than a second delay, and that the accuracy rate is good enough to support smooth communication between you and the foreigners.
Writing Tool
Where text can be entered at any time, the selected text allows for the adaptation, proofreading and summation of the writing tool, which is absolutely the most easily used function for hitting workers. But what we're more concerned about is whether the AI writing tool, which was imported from abroad, is "controversial" in Chinese.
For example, there's a tougher reminder: "Why haven't you sent it back on Monday when you said it was Friday? Please deal with it as soon as possible. * Try to rewrite it with a writing tool, even though we cut into the mildest "friendly" mode, the resulting sentence feels like a glimpse. And more summary, points, etc. are similar to most ChatBot.
However, apples have the advantage of the system level in terms of the ease of call. It is calculated that third-party applications such as text-entry boxes, whether the system contains a memo or WeChat, flybooks, nails, etc., can be easily called or easily accessible.
Visual intelligence
Apple also moved its recognition to the real world — visual intelligence — so that it could activate by pressing the camera control button, with two main interactive entry points: "Query" and "search."
The "interrogation" on the left is connected to Ali's ability to ask questions directly about the items in front of you, such as skin protection, and by asking about its core ingredients and uses.
The "search" on the right is close to what we know about the "search by drawings" and the visual model of Baidu is used by default and can be retrieved quickly for similar images that can be found on Baidu.
But we found a surprise in the test: In addition to Baidu, many apps can provide similar functions by accessing the corresponding API interface.
For example, when something is installed in a mobile phone, it appears in an optional search service list and retrieves similar items that are being sold; even a cold door and string query application from my mobile phone, Guitar Wiz, appears in an optional search service list and can be used to query chords.
It's not hard to assume that apples are a third-party application that opens up the corresponding API interface -- as long as the developers do fit and the user phone contains the corresponding App, they can get its search capability directly through visual intelligence. We're looking forward to the post-access performance of REDnote applications.
In addition to the above-mentioned AI capabilities, the National Bank AI supports the Genmoji function, which can easily be used as an expression kit when talking about the drawings:
Humor.
How far is it from real intelligence?
After touching each other on the first features of Apple’s intelligence, it should be in the minds of all the friends who normally focus on apples – that, to put it simply, it was the first "first edition" sent overseas in 2024, not Apple’s latest cell phone AI solution.
In fact, in the IOS 27.3 overseas test version, Siriai has already supported Chinese and has been further upgraded in terms of capacity, with a growing trend towards maturity.
In contrast, the recently updated National Apple intelligence seems to be somewhat less "smart."
However, it remains a milestone.
After more than two years of waiting, the iPhone of Chinese users has finally filled this long-lost system-level AI puzzle. Moreover, for the vast majority of ordinary people, there was no hope that the cell phone would suddenly emerge as a full-fledged science-fiction housekeeper.
If you look carefully, does this iPhone have any "mass change" due to Apple's intelligence?
Apparently not.
The current set of functions is essentially the enabling idea of "AI+" - photo albums plus "AI" are eliminated; input boxes with "AI" are replaced with text. Here, AI is just a "plug-in" for the original application, not the bottom logic of the cell phone.
And what we really expect is that AI can take over the bottom interaction: when you say to your cell phone, "Put your friend's new restaurant address on tonight's agenda and see how long it's going to take from the company," it will recognize your friend, find an address, put it on the agenda, and get it done from scratch.
In fact, Apple's new version of Siri AI, which is a screen-playing, situational understanding with a certain personal context managerial capability, is being launched this year.
Even so, the feedback from most users over the past period on Apple Industries and even the new version of Siri AI has been rather bleak:
The experience is far from as divine as in the propaganda.
According to Avner, the key to this gap lies in long-range mobility and personal memory management.
A cell phone, perhaps the closest electronic device to anyone, can not only keep track of your life in the backstage -- - Find out which is your "friend," find out where your "company" is, and cross permission to look for chat records, movement calendars and maps.
At present, apples are trying to connect to primary applications on Siri and iPhone so that their data can flow and move more smoothly.
But our digital life is also highly tied to the three Apps, WeChat, the American Group, and the Book of Flying, and apples, even if they make their own memos and calendars smoother, understand you as long as they do not enter the walls that are applied by third parties.
To be sure, even if we would soon be able to use the new Sri AI version of the national edition, it would not have a dramatic impact on our daily lives in the short term. For apples, how to build a personal context so that the AI on the phone can better serve people is still a matter that takes a long time to sink.
In the last two years, many of us at publish have seen too many dazzling "simplistic coffee" demonstrations, but the real use of mobile phones as the main machine in a few months will show that the beauty of Demo is 18,000 miles away from the stability of daily use.
Personal AI is still in the investment phase, but it is also the "second growth curve" that everyone expects.
And to take the example of apples, despite the fact that they have just handed over the best financial report ever made, they still face enormous challenges.
Hardware profits are being eroded by the rising price of metaware, and applications are being divided and watched by global regulators, at a time when Apple ' s AI strategy is both a defensive tower that holds the hardware base disk and the most logical growth point for service operations.
Faced with a large base disk with more than 2.5 billion active devices and 1.5 billion paid subscriptions, Apple AI’s commercial value is not only to attract consumers to upgrade the equipment, but also to justify more money from users.
At this financial conference, Apple executives almost put the commercial sun on the table. CFO Kevan Parek explicitly mentions that AI will create new liquidity opportunities through its own services and partners; the new CEO John Ternus is more direct, and that future cloud-based LLM features like Siri AI, high-level smart drawings will be based on quota, and heavy users will need paid to purchase more quota services.
This also means that the iClaud+, which used to be the main cloud storage space to attract users to pay, is likely to change in the future and become a subscription point for apples for the sale of "the cloud's computing power and high-level intelligence". It is clear that apples do not intend to measure the value of this long-term investment solely on the basis of the performance of this generation of products.
It's just, business blueprints are hotter, and that's the long story Apple told Wall Street; back to this iPhone in our hands, it's better to calm down now.
The country bank Apple's smart landing was a late tutorial -- it finally filled up the basic AI functions that Chinese users lacked.
As for when to use the real AI Phone, whether it's apples or cell phones, it might have to wait.
