Hi, I'm Sam Tucker from Apple and many people often ask us,
2
why does every upgrade cost $200 instead of what it actually costs?
3
Whether it's RAM, storage or a chip, they're all very different things with very different components,
4
yet magically very similar prices.
5
That's just incredible.
6
Well today we're gonna use virtual reality to explore an incredible world where our prices actually reflect how much things cost.
7
Welcome to the whimsical world of AR.
8
Actual reality.
9
Yeah, we haven't been here for a while.
10
Alright, let's start with storage.
11
Now customers were surprised to find that the new Mac mini actually has a removable SSD inside.
12
Which had people thinking that maybe they could buy the cheap base model mini and then upgrade the storage themselves later.
13
But under closer inspection, you'll notice that this isn't a standard M.2 module,
14
no. It's actually an F.U module that isn't compatible with any of the other storage options on the market.
15
But now let's use AR to turn this proprietary connector into the same one that every other manufacturer in the world uses.
16
And then you'll notice that instead of storage costing something like an extra $1,200 it actually only costs $300.
17
Oh, but is that storage as fast as the internal one?
18
Well, their number does look bigger than our number, but I'll be honest.
19
I only have Apple intelligence, and so the only thing I really look for is this pro word on it.
20
Which means it must be good.
21
Wow, we've saved $900 already.
22
Let's move on to RAM.
23
Now since we changed over to Apple Silicon, we also also un-evated the RAM, so that instead of being able to swap it out yourself,
24
it's now been fully integrated inside the chip.
25
Except, it's not.
26
Look, it's right there.
27
Can't we just pop that off like Lego or something?
28
Well, alright, for whatever reason, the RAM has to be this close to the chip, instead of this close to the chip.
29
Which is a shame for you.
30
Because if it was separate,
31
then instead of 32 gigabytes of RAM costing $200 plus $200 It would only be something like a hundred
32
and ten and that's with RGB or B Y B
33
Pink which would have saved you another 290 heck Thunderbolts getting
34
so fast now you're probably wondering why you can't just plug some more RAM in the side like a USB stick If only.
35
Unfortunately, technology like that is far off in the past. With Vista!
36
How the heck does that pile of crap do it?
37
Finally, let's look at the chip.
38
Now, the main update between last year's Macs and the new ones is the M4 chip.
39
But since the chip is stuck to the board, if you want to upgrade to the new one, then you have to buy a whole new computer.
40
But what if the whole chip was removable?
41
Then you'd be able to upgrade your chip and your RAM whenever you want.
42
Oh, but can you socket a powerful chip?
43
Well, in actual reality, of course you can!
44
Like AMD's Epic 9655P that scores 158,000 points for Gryffindor and only costs $10,000.
45
Holy moly!
46
Guess AMD uses Apple math as well.
47
In fact, all of these chips are pretty expensive.
48
It's like they cost more than the computers they come in.
49
But anyway, even if you do have to buy a whole new computer, if the chips were able to just pop out and pop in,
50
then theoretically, you could get yourself an M4 Mac Mini and just plug its chip into your M3 MacBook Pro,
51
giving it a powerful upgrade.
52
Or you could upgrade your old M2 iMac, or even make something that Apple doesn't do, and that's an M4 MacBook Air,
53
bringing your current savings amount to a lot.
54
Wow, what a crazy place that would be, huh?
55
Unfortunately, we're stuck in this timeline,
56
where Apple says they save the environment by forcing you to buy a whole new computer just to upgrade.
57
But.. they do wrap it in paper.
58
You're welcome.

Come on guys, no one's gonna buy this actual reality.

It's too unbelievable.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，练习口语是提高流利度的重要环节。通过观看这段视频，您可以在愉快的氛围中学习如何讨论实际价格与消费者预期之间的差距，尤其是在科技产品的领域。利用英语影子跟读的技巧，您可以跟随发言者的语调和节奏，模仿他们的发音与表达，增加自己在雅思口语练习中的自信。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
这段视频中使用了几个关键的语法结构，帮助学习者理解如何在真实对话中运用：
- 虚拟条件句：如提到"如果芯片是可更换的..."，这种结构可以用于讨论假设情况，从而培养想象能力。
- 比较级：发言者提到" 而且成本只需要..."，可以帮助学习者学会如何表达价格的对比。
- 反问句：例如"怎么可能这样？"，这种表达方式使语言更加生动，适合在非正式对话中使用。
- 插入语：发言者有时会使用" 实际上..."作为插入语，帮助明确观点，让语句更加流畅。
常见发音难点
在视频中，有一些单词和短语可能会让学习者在发音时遇到困难：
- SSD: 许多学习者在发音时可能会混淆这个词的拼读，记得分成两个音节来读。
- 可拆卸 (removable): 这个词的元音与辅音组合较复杂，小心语速过快时的吞音问题。
- 兼容性 (compatible): 这个单词的重音位置较难掌握，确保您在说的时候强调“com”部分。
通过在看YouTube学英语时关注这些发音技巧，您可以提高自己的语音清晰度，更加自信地与他人交流。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
