蘋果公布Apple Music及iOS 9

　　Apple announced its new music streaming service on Monday, dubbed Apple Music, entering a hotly competitive market but offering a product that comes with tremendousstrengths.

　　Calling it a "revolutionary music service," legendary music industry figure Jimmy Iovine took the stage at the company's annual conference for developers to unveil what had been widely expected ahead of the event. Apple Music includes a service to connect artists and fans and what the company described as a global radio station called Beats 1.

　　周一，蘋果公布了名為Apple Music的新音樂流媒體服務。雖然這一服務面臨激烈的市場競爭，但它能提供優勢顯著的產品。

　　音樂界傳奇人物吉米·埃爾文在蘋果年度開發者大會上登場，稱這一此前廣受期待的產品為“革命性的音樂服務”。Apple Music中包括的一項服務能將藝術家、樂迷和Beats1(蘋果稱之為全球廣播之聲)連接起來。

　　While late to the streaming music business, Apple has strong advantages: deep relationships with music companies; a global brand; and hundreds of millions of customers — and their credit cards — through iTunes.

　　Apple Music's .99 US a month price takes effect after a three-month free subscriptionperiod. The company is also offering what it calls a "family plan" for .99 US a month for up to six family members.

　　雖然進入流媒體音樂產業的時間較晚，但蘋果有著很大的優勢：和音樂公司的深厚關系，全球性品牌，以及iTune里的上億用戶和他們的信用卡。

　　Apple Music前三個月免費，之后每月9.99美元。蘋果還提供每月14.99美元的家庭計劃，可供最多6名家庭成員使用。

　　The iOS 9 update coming this fall will have battery improvements and improved security, Apple says. Apple also announced new Mac-like features for the iPad, a news app, and public transit support for Apple Maps.

　　Health-related improvements to Apple's mobile operating system include tracking for hydration and ultraviolet exposure, while smart-home features include supporting sensors for carbon monoxide. App developers would take advantage of these tools in building new apps and devices.

　　蘋果稱，今年秋天的iOS 9升級將提升電池續航時間和安全性。它還宣布將在iPad上加入新的類似Mac的特性，此外，蘋果還公布了一款新聞應用，以及為蘋果地圖提供公共交通支持。

　　蘋果移動操作系統在健康應用方面的功能升級包括對水分和接受紫外線照射的追蹤，另外智能家庭功能包括對一氧化碳探測器的支持。開發者們將能夠利用這些工具開發新的應用和設備。
