苹果全球开发者大会将启，这一看点广受关注

今日主播仇莉娜说：

就在北京时间23日凌晨1点，苹果将开始举行首次采用线上形式召开的第31届全球开发者大会。

据多方报道，本届大会的一大看点就是苹果有可能在硬件方面，在全新Mac产品中全面引入自研ARM架构芯片而非继续使用英特尔芯片。

如果这一预测成真，那么将是苹果MAC电脑在使用英特尔芯片15年后逐渐与其“分手”的重要一步，也是苹果公司在自研电脑芯片领域的重要里程碑。有行业分析称，这或许会改变英特尔在电脑芯片领域的垄断地位。

据外媒报道，在软件方面，本届开发者大会预计将宣布iOS 14、iPad OS 14等系统迭代，但正式版本的发布，可能要到今年秋天。由于2019年全球iOS系统用户量已超过9亿人，因此iOS 14系统也广受关注。

据外媒报道，iOS 14可能有以下几个亮点：内置翻译、新健身应用程序、增强现实能力和智能车联网技术等。

据外媒报道，福特公司预计，其美国工厂周一将恢复新冠肺炎爆发前的生产计划。

Ford expect to return to pre-coronavirus pandemic production schedules at their U.S. plants on Monday.

七角保险公司针对疫情推出定制保险

Seven Corners Offering Coverage Tailored To The Epidemic

据外媒报道，在对新冠肺炎病毒的持续担忧和人们对自驾游兴趣上升的背景下，美国专业旅游保险公司七角近日推出两款专为疫情期间度假者定制的旅游保险产品。

Seven Corners started two travel insurance products on recent that are tailored to the needs of pandemic-era vacationers, amid steady fears of coronavirus and rising interest in road trips.

一款产品政策专门涵盖在海外旅行期间因新冠肺炎产生的医疗费用，另一款政策则针对驾驶员，因为自驾游取代了航班和巡航，成为夏秋旅行的首选方式。

One policy specifically covers medical expenses incurred due to Covid-19 infection while traveling overseas, and another helps motorists as road trips replace flights and cruises as the preferred means of summer and fall travel.

“总的来说，旅游趋势已经改变了，很多人选择在夏季自驾游，而不是乘飞机旅行。”杰里米·穆奇兰说，他是这家总部位于印第安纳波利斯的公司的总裁，该公司既销售综合旅游保险单，也销售只覆盖医疗保险的计划。

“Travel trends, in general, have changed. A lot of people are electing to take road trips for the summer as opposed to air travel.” said Jeremy Murchland, president of the Indianapolis-based company, which sells both comprehensive travel insurance policies and medical coverage-only plans.

他补充说：“我们还利用疫情开发了‘附加’旅游保险，为新冠肺炎患者提供专门的保险。”

“We also took the opportunity of the pandemic to develop a ‘plus’ line of travel insurance that provides a specific coverage for Covid-19.”

报道称，七角的“新联络旅行附加计划”是唯一专门为保护旅行者免受冠状病毒相关问题而设计的政策。

Seven Corners’ new Liaison Travel Plus plan, however, is the only policy specifically designed to protect travelers from coronavirus-related issues, according to Murchland.
