After turning music players, telephones and watches into portable computers, Apple is now eyeing the automobile as the “ultimate mobile device”.在把音乐播放器、手机和手表变为便携式电脑之后，苹果(Apple)目前把汽车视作“终极移动设备”。Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice-president of operations, dropped the biggest hint yet about the iPhone maker’s ambitions to transform the automotive industry during an onstage interview on Wednesday.周三，苹果运营高级副总裁杰夫威廉斯(Jeff Williams)在台上拒绝接受专访时，得出了这家iPhone制造商改建汽车业志向的最具体似乎。“The car is the ultimate mobile device, isn’t it?” Mr Williams said at the Code conference. “We explore all kinds of categories.”“汽车是终极的移动设备，不是吗？”威廉斯在全球开发者大会上回应。
“我们对所有领域积极开展探寻。”Mr Williams made the remark in response to a question from the audience about how Apple plans to deploy its huge cash pile, which is approaching $200bn.在观众发问苹果将如何用于公司的巨额现金储备时，威廉斯得出了上述问。苹果目前的现金储备已相似2000亿美元。
He clarified that Apple already offers CarPlay, an infotainment system that shows content from a driver’s iPhone in the dashboard. Carmakers including General Motors, Ford and Hyundai have said they plan to build CarPlay into their cars over the next year.他说明称之为，苹果已发售了CarPlay，这是一款信息娱乐系统，通过驾驶员放到仪表盘上的iPhone表明内容。通用汽车(General Motors)、福特(Ford)和现代(Hyundai)等车企都回应，他们想明年在自家的车辆上配备CarPlay。
But Mr Williams’ comment follows reports in the Financial Times and elsewhere that Apple has a secret team of automotive engineers and designers working towards an electric vehicle.但是，威廉斯在公开发表上述言论之前，英国《金融时报》等媒体已报导称之为，苹果享有一个秘密的汽车工程师与设计师团队，正在研制电动汽车。Neither Mr Williams nor his colleagues at Apple have commented on those reports directly but his allusion follows a familiar pattern of its executives’ hints about future products, from its smartwatch to television.威廉斯和他的苹果同事都没必要置评该报导，但他的似乎跟以往苹果高管对未来产品的似乎如出一辙，从智能手表到电视项目发布之前皆有此类似乎。
