Apple Reveals New iPhones
This is What's Trending Today.
The most popular topic on social media on Tuesday was the big Apple "event" in California.
The event took place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, California. People all over the world wanted to know about the new iPhone.
The main trending hashtags and topics related to Apple's announcement were: #AppleEvent, iPhone 8, Steve Jobs Theater, and Apple TV 4K. Others appeared on social media during the event, which continued for over two hours.
Before Apple chief Tim Cook came on the stage to start the event, one Twitter user wrote that he had fallen asleep waiting.
The big news of the day was the iPhone 8 and the chance that an even more advanced iPhone would be revealed.
But first, several Apple executives spoke with the audience. One spoke about Apple stores. She said the stores will now be called "town squares."
Lily Rugo is a writer in Boston. She responded to this idea with a joke, saying she will continue to call the place where people go to buy Apple products "a store."
Apple spoke to its audience about changes to Apple TV and the Apple watch. The leaders also spoke about how its new campus was built with a number of environmentally friendly features.
Paul Haddad wrote: "Apple Park, the reason the iPhone is now $1200."
And after 55 minutes, Apple CEO Tim Cook finally mentioned an iPhone.
The audience cheered and many people watching the event online were relieved.
The waiting paid off as Philip Schiller came out to talk about the new phones: iPhone 8 and 8-plus.
About 20 minutes later, when Schiller was done, Tim Cook came back on the stage.
He said: "But we're not stopping there. We do have one more thing."
After a short music video, Cook presented the iPhone X, and he pronounced the "X" as the number 10.
Schiller returned to discuss the iPhone X. He said the main difference from earlier versions of the iPhone is that the screen has no outside border. There is also no "home" button. For many years, owners used the button at the bottom of the phone to unlock it and get to the main screen.
Now, there will be a feature called "Face ID." The phone will recognize its owner and open the home screen.
People will be able to order the iPhone X in late October. It will be available about a week later. It will cost $999.
Some people wondered why there will not be an iPhone 9.
Others pointed out that the price of Apple stock on the NASDAQ stock exchange fell as soon as Cook announced the new phones.
And that's What's Trending Today.

iPhone X压轴 苹果迎10周年新品发布会
这里是《今日热点》节目。
周二，社交媒体上最热门的话题是苹果公司在加州举行的大型“新品发布会。”
该发布会在加州库比蒂诺市苹果公司新总部的乔布斯剧院举办。全球的“果粉”都想一睹新款iPhone手机的风采。
与这次发布会有关的主要热门标签和主题分别为：苹果发布会、iPhone 8、乔布斯剧院以及苹果4K电视机顶盒。发布会期间，社交媒体还陆续出现了其它标签和主题，并且持续了两个多小时。
在苹果公司首席执行官库克登台发布前，一名推特网友写道，他等得都要睡着了。
当天最重磅的消息是iPhone 8以及更高级版iPhone将被公布。
首先，苹果公司的数位高管与观众进行了对话。其中一位高管提及苹果商店。她说，苹果商店现被称为“城市广场。”
莉莉·鲁戈（Lily Rugo）是波士顿一名写手。她就此开了个玩笑，她说，她会继续把人们购买苹果产品的地方称作为“商店。”
苹果公司向观众们介绍了苹果电视机顶盒与苹果手表的变化。主管们还谈到了建立公司新园区过程中的一系列环保特色。
保罗·哈达德（Paul Haddad）写道：“iPhone手机现售价1200美元，这归功于Apple Park（苹果企业园区）的修建。”
经过55分钟的介绍后，苹果公司首席执行官库克提到了iPhone手机。
观众顿时一片沸腾，在线观看发布会的网友们也舒了一口气。
菲利普·席勒（Philip Schiller）上台介绍了新款的iPhone 8 和iPhone 8-plus，观众的翘首以盼终于有了结果。
待席勒介绍了约20分钟后，库克重新回到台上。
他说：“不过，我们不会止步于此，我们还有一款新品要发布。”
一段音乐短片过后，库克介绍了iPhone X，“X”的读音为数字10。
席勒再次回到舞台介绍iPhone X。他表示，这款手机与先前版本的iPhone最大的区别就是屏幕无边框，也取消了Home键。多年来，苹果手机用户一直使用底部的Home键来解锁和进入主屏幕。
现在新增了一款Face ID（脸部识别）功能。这款手机会识别用户并自动进入主屏幕。
iPhone X手机将在10月下旬接受预定。大约在一周后发货。该款手机售价为999美元。
有些人好奇为何直接跳过iPhone 9版本。
还有人表示，库克刚公布这些新品，其公司在纳斯达克证券交易所的股票就开始下跌。
以上为《今日热点》。
