苹果推新MacBook 变相降价抢客

发布时间 / 来源

后冠病疫情时代的笔记本电脑购买热潮消退，苹果公司也被迫变相削价争夺消费者。 （路透社）

苹果公司星期二（3月3日）发布全新一代MacBook Air与MacBook Pro笔记本电脑。新机型全面搭载性能更强劲的M5系列晶片，并显著提升入门级的标准存储容量，意在个人电脑市场需求放缓及内存成本上涨的压力下，吸引更多消费者升级换代。

据路透社报道，苹果此次更新的核心在于自主研发的最新M5系列晶片。其中，新款MacBook Air采用标准版M5晶片；高端的MacBook Pro则配备性能更卓越的M5 Pro与M5 Max晶片。苹果称，新一代晶片不仅在常规处理速度上有所突破，更大幅提升了设备端的人工智能（AI）运算能力。

全球内存（DRAM与NAND闪存）价格因AI需求激增而上涨，苹果这次发布新产品调整了定价策略，通过增加基础配置来提升性价比。

其中，13英寸MacBook Air入门机型起售价为1099美元（约1400新元），标准存储容量从上一代的256GB翻倍至512GB。此前，若要购买512GB配置，消费者须支付1199美元，因此新定价实际上相当于在同等容量下进行了降价。

搭载M5 Pro晶片的14英寸MacBook Pro机型起售价为2199美元，标准存储空间也从512GB提升至1TB。

苹果在2020年从英特尔处理器转型至自研M系列晶片以来，一直强调产品在性能与续航力上的优势。然而，随着后冠病疫情时代笔记本电脑购买热潮消退，全球个人电脑厂商面临需求不均的挑战，纷纷通过价格战争取消费者。

苹果此次提升存储基准的举动，也延续了近期的产品策略。苹果刚在星期一（2日）推出起售价为599美元的平价机型iPhone 17e，将基础存储容量提升至256GB。

Americans ordered to shelter in place across Saudi Arabia as Iran continues retaliatory attacks in the region

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was hit by two drones from Iran on Monday as Americans in Saudi Arabia were instructed to shelter in place. The embassy was empty at the time of the hits and no injuries were reported as a result of the attack.

On Tuesday, the embassy issued a security alert saying that the shelter in place order for Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran remained in effect, and it added that U.S. citizens throughout Saudi Arabia were advised to remain indoors. It also advised U.S. citizens to “avoid the embassy until further notice” due to the attack.

“We advise all U.S. citizens to maintain a personal safety plan. Crises can happen unexpectedly while traveling or living abroad, and a good plan helps you think through potential scenarios and determine in advance the best course of action,” the embassy’s Tuesday alert read.

In the security alert, the embassy urged U.S. citizens to shelter in place, monitor its website for updates, enroll in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), ensure their passports are valid for potential short-notice travel, remain aware of their surroundings, avoid demonstrations and large gatherings, follow local authorities’ instructions and monitor official information sources for the latest updates.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a video posted on X, urged Americans in the Middle East to register with STEP, saying that it would allow them to see the latest safety and security guidance amid the “cowardly attacks” from Iran.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry released a statement condemning the attack, saying “the repetition of this cowardly and unjustified attack blatantly violates all international norms and laws, including the 1949 Geneva Convention and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”

“The Kingdom emphasizes that the repetition of this flagrant Iranian behavior, which comes despite the Iranian authorities’ knowledge that the Kingdom has affirmed it will not allow its airspace or territory to be used to target Iran, will push the region toward further escalation,” the foreign ministry’s statement read.

Iran has launched attacks in the region against Israel and several countries that have U.S. interests in retaliation for the U.S. and Israel’s joint military offensive known as Operation Epic Fury. Saudi Arabia condemned the retaliation on Feb. 28.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its rejection and condemnation in the strongest terms of the blatant and cowardly Iranian attacks that targeted the Riyadh Region and the Eastern Province, which were successfully intercepted,” the Saudi Foreign Ministry’s Feb. 28 statement read. “These attacks cannot be justified under any pretext or in any way whatsoever, and they came despite the Iranian authorities’ knowledge that the Kingdom had affirmed it would not allow its airspace or territory to be used to target Iran.”

Amid the retaliatory strikes, the State Department has ordered the evacuation of non-emergency personnel and their families from Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

US urges Americans to leave Middle East amid air travel disruptions

March 3, 2026 2:51 PM UTC / Reuters

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) – The United States on Tuesday said it was pulling out non-essential personnel from several U.S. missions across the Middle East and advised American citizens to immediately leave the region even as air travel remains severely ​disrupted due to U.S.-Israeli military operation on Iran.

The State Department announced that it had ordered the departure ‌of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and their family members from U.S. embassies in Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan. Similar measures have already been taken for U.S. missions in Lebanon and Israel.

It has also on Monday urged American citizens across 16 countries in the Middle ​East to leave now using “available commercial transportation”. The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem said it was unable to offer ​assistance to Americans trying to leave.

“You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you ⁠know many airports/airspace are closed,” Congressman Ted Lieu wrote in an X post and said Washington must immediately schedule ​U.S. government evacuation flights for the stranded Americans.

“Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first,” Lieu wrote.

U.S.-Israeli air war ​against Iran, which started on Saturday, has already sent shockwaves around the world, disrupting energy supplies and sending global air transport into chaos. Overnight, Iranian drones struck the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia.

As Washington presses ahead with one of the most consequential military actions in recent history, the ​United States lacks Senate-confirmed ambassadors across many countries in the region including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Egypt, Kuwait, Algeria and ​the UAE.

Major Gulf aviation hubs, including the world’s busiest international airport, Dubai – which normally handles over 1,000 flights a day – remained closed for ‌a ⁠fourth day on Tuesday, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded. Ticket prices have soared.

“The U.S. Embassy is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel,” the embassy said in an X post and said citizens can sign up to the shuttles being operated by Israeli Ministry of Tourism to the Taba border crossing with Egypt.

It ​reiterated that Washington cannot ensure ​the safety of this route.

“The ⁠U.S. Embassy cannot make any recommendation (for or against) the Ministry of Tourism’s shuttle. If you choose to avail yourself of this option to depart, the U.S. government cannot guarantee your ​safety,” it said.

The State Department did not immediately respond to questions on how exactly Americans ​should be departing ⁠in the absence of available commercial flights.

On Monday, a U.S. official said the department activated an inter-agency task force to manage the situation and had launched a dedicated WhatsApp channel, which it said has amassed 15,000 followers. It did not mention any ⁠government assistance ​for evacuation of citizens.

Crude oil benchmarks rose about 7% on Tuesday, soaring ​for a third session as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran widened. In a social media post overnight, Trump said there was a “virtually unlimited supply” of ​U.S. munitions and that “wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies.”

Dow plunges 1,100 points as investors fret over Iran war

March 3, 2026 / 10:05 AM EST / CBS News

Stocks in the U.S. plummeted after the opening bell on Monday, as jittery investors reacted to the potential fallout from the war in Iran, including the impact on global oil supplies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 1,110 points, or 2.2%, in early trading, while the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite each dropped 1.9%.

“Global financial markets are in disarray, anticipating a significant interruption in supplies of crude oil and natural gas because of President Trump’s war against Iran,” Carl Weinberg, chief economist at investment advisory firm High Frequency Economics, said in a note to clients. “The conflict is spreading, and confidence in the continuity of energy supplies is declining in parallel.”

Questions about how the war in Iran will impact energy markets and how long the conflict will last weighed heavily on investor sentiment as markets opened Tuesday, according to Bret Kenwell, an investment analyst at eToro. The weak start on Wall Street follows a turbulent trading day yesterday, which ended with a slight market rebound.

“Markets did a decent job shaking off Monday morning’s volatility, but the task gets harder today, with the S&P 500 hitting a fresh 2026 low,” he told CBS News. “Markets hate uncertainty, and as uncertainty deepens in the Middle East, investors are getting jittery.”

Wall Street is grappling with questions over the world’s oil supply as tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz bogs down. Roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows through the waterway, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

Brent crude, the international standard,climbed $4.72, or 6.2%, to $80.83 per barrel. Benchmark U.S. crude rose $6.22, or 8.8%, to $77.45 a barrel, according to FactSet.

新华社引述伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社消息报道，位于伊朗首都德黑兰以南库姆市的伊朗专家会议办公楼星期二（3月3日）遭到以色列袭击。

伊朗媒体公布的视频显示，办公楼已完全被炸成废墟。

有以色列媒体报道称，当时专家会议成员正在开会选举新的最高领袖，袭击发生在计票期间，不是所有专家会议成员都在场。

不过也有消息说，专家会议办公楼内人员已提前疏散，袭击未造成人员伤亡。

伊朗官方尚未就此对外发声。

伊朗专家会议是负责选举、监督、罢黜伊朗最高领袖的最高权力机构。专家会议选举每八年举行一次，成员由选民在宗教法学家中选举产生。

World’s largest acidic geyser erupts again in Yellowstone after years of silence

March 3, 2026 / 10:27 AM EST / CBS News

The world’s largest acidic geyser has begun erupting again in Yellowstone after slumbering for over five years, the national park said Monday.

Echinus Geyser, located in the back basin of the Norris Geyser Basin at Yellowstone, is about 66 feet wide and is surrounded by rocks that resemble sea urchins. The geyser was named for those rocks, Yellowstone said, after mineralogist Albert Charles Peale noted the resemblance during a visit to the site in 1878.

Echinus is made acidic because of a mix of acidic gases and neutral waters, Yellowstone said. Many acidic geysers break down the rock that forms a geyser, but the acidity at Echinus is not strong enough to eat away at the surrounding stone. The acid is not concentrated, making it more like “orange juice or vinegar,” according to the park.

Instead, “that somewhat unique water chemistry results in interesting formations and compositions,” Yellowstone said, including the red color around the geyser pool and the spiny rocks.

Echinus erupted often in the late half of the 20th century, and viewing platforms and benches allowed visitors to get closer to the site than any other geyser in the park, according to Yellowstone. In the 1970s, the geyser erupted every 40 to 80 minutes, and in the 1980s and 1990s, the eruptions could last as long as 90 minutes and reach as high as 75 feet. Sometimes the eruptions were even horizontal, soaking visitors with warm water.

The geyser’s activity started to wane in the early 2000s. In 2010, a temperature monitoring system installed in the geyser’s outflow channel allowed Yellowstone to monitor changes. The system recorded 15 sporadic eruptions between October 2010 and January 2011, and eruptions remained few and far between until October 2017. The eruptions were consistent for several weeks, but then “suddenly stopped,” Yellowstone said. There were a few eruptions over the following years, but the geyser was largely inactive.

In February 2026, the geyser started showing signs of activity. It erupted on Feb. 7, then again throughout the next week. There were regular 20-30 foot eruptions every few hours beginning on February 16.

In recent days, the geyser has had spikes of activity that tend to precede eruptions, but no actual eruptions, according to a temperature graph.

The park said it is unlikely the geyser will continue erupting into the summer, but there is no way to predict what may actually occur.

特朗普：美国战争物资充足 可以“永远”打下去

2026年3月3日 23:38 / 联合早报

美国总统特朗普星期一（3月2日）说，美国军方拥有充足的武器储备，足以“永远”打仗。

路透社报道，特朗普在社交媒体上发帖称，美国拥有“几乎无限的”弹药储备，“仅凭这些储备，战争就能‘永远’持续下去，而且会非常成功”。

他写道：“美国储备充足，准备大获全胜！！！”

特朗普星期一晚些时候发表此番言论之际，美以联合空袭伊朗已进入第四天。

他没有透露针对德黑兰的军事行动将持续多久，但他表示预计将持续四到五周。

“我们目前的进展已经远远超过了预期。但无论需要多久，都没关系。不惜一切代价。”

Amazon says drones hit 3 of its Middle East data centers amid Iran conflict

Updated on: March 3, 2026 / 10:14 AM EST / CBS News

Amazon said drones struck three of its Middle East data centers, causing outages related to the “ongoing conflict in the Middle East.”

Drones directly struck two Amazon Web Services facilities in the United Arab Emirates, and a drone strike near an Amazon data center in Bahrain also damaged that facility, the company said in a post on Monday on AWS’s health dashboard.

“These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage,” AWS said.

Operations in the Middle East remain “significantly impaired,” AWS said, noting that “customers are experiencing elevated error rates and degraded availability for services.”

Amazon said it is working to restore services and repair physical damage to its facilities, while cautioning that the “broader operating environment in the Middle East remains unpredictable.”

The company encouraged its customers in the Middle East to back up data and consider migrating workloads to servers in other regions.

Shares of Amazon declined $3.40, or 1.6%, to $204.99 in early trading.

Americans urged to leave 14 Middle East countries amid Iran war “due to serious safety risks”

Updated on: March 3, 2026 / 7:55 AM EST / CBS News

The U.S. State Department is urging Americans to leave 14 countries across the Middle East as the Iran war widened Tuesday with Iranian proxies being drawn in and Iran continuing its retaliatory fire.

Americans were urged late Monday to “depart now” from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. They were urged to leave “using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks.”

More than a million Americans are believed to be in the region, a source said.

The State Department also told all non-emergency U.S. government personnel and the families of government personnel to leave Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

Some U.S. embassies in the region are closed.

The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was attacked by two drones, causing a small fire and limited damage, the Saudi Ministry of Defense said Monday on X. The embassy urged U.S. citizens in Riyadh and the key commercial cities of Dhahran and Jeddah to shelter in place. It said it would be closed Tuesday.

The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait also said Tuesday it was closed until further notice “due to ongoing regional tensions” and that consular appointments were canceled. It was closed a day after smoke was seen rising from the mission following Iranian attacks on the country.

The U.S. and Israel began attacking Iran on Saturday in what President Trump described on Monday as the “last best chance” to address the threat posed by Iran’s ballistic missiles and nuclear program. He articulated the reasons he said he decided to order strikes, bombing over 1,000 targets in the opening days of what he said could be a weeks-long conflict. They include destroying Iran’s missile capabilities, annihilating Iran’s navy and preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Six U.S. troops have been killed during the war, while 18 others have been seriously wounded. The Iranian Red Crescent said at least 787 people have been killed in Iran.

Now, Americans — and travelers who found themselves stranded amid regional airport and airspace closures — are trying to figure out how to leave the region.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said overnight, “We are getting a lot of requests regarding evacuating from Israel from American citizens who are currently in Israel or who have family here.”

In a lengthy post on social media, Huckabee outlined how people can depart Israel, noting “there are VERY LIMITED options.” He said the U.S. Embassy was not in a position to evacuate or directly help Americans leave the country.

The State Department said Americans who need the government’s help arranging travel could call +1-202-501-4444 from abroad or +1-888-407-4747 from the U.S. and Canada.

黎巴嫩星期二（3月3日）被进一步卷入中东战火。伊朗支持的真主党连续第二天向以色列发射导弹，而以色列则向南部派兵并发动多轮空袭。

路透社报道，以色列军方说，已于夜间向黎巴嫩南部增派兵力，称此举是为了占据防御阵地，防范真主党可能发动的任何袭击。

肖沙尼说：“我们只是以防御姿态驻守在边境地区，以防止袭击平民和具有重要战略意义的地点。”

以色列国防部长卡茨在一份声明中说，他已授权军方推进并控制更多阵地。

以军星期一（2日）晚间命令黎巴嫩南部整个边境地带的居民撤离。

一名黎巴嫩安全部门消息人士称，以色列军队正在沿部分边境地区进行入侵。目击者称，黎巴嫩军队已从边境沿线的至少七个前沿作战阵地撤离。

真主党星期二宣布使用攻击型无人机和导弹发动三起独立袭击，并称这些袭击的目标是以色列北部的军事设施。

据以色列媒体报道，一枚来自黎巴嫩的导弹击中了以色列北部的一栋民宅。以色列救护车服务部门称，一名男子因玻璃碎片受伤接受治疗。

黎巴嫩卫生部星期一报告称，以色列在黎巴嫩发动的袭击已造成52人死亡，150多人受伤。

以色列军方星期二报告称，在贝鲁特发动了更多空袭，并表示袭击目标是“真主党位于贝鲁特的情报总部的指挥中心、武器库和卫星通信设施”。

“这些设施是在平民掩护下运作的。”

以色列军方说，已采取措施减轻对平民的伤害，包括提前发出预警。
