现代人的「脆皮」生活，往往是从一次深夜搜索开始的。
也许是加班后莫名其妙的心悸，也许是体检报告上突然出现的几个箭头。那一刻，巨大的不确定性像潮水一样涌来。
我们习惯性地打开搜索框，看着那些真假难辨的「绝症预警」，然后陷入更深的焦虑；想去医院求个心安吧，一想到挂号靠抢、排队半天只为问两句日常琐事，又默默退了号。
健康焦虑这件事，是时候有个靠谱的解法了。
半年前，蚂蚁集团推出了一款独立应用 AQ，成了千万人的「健康搭子」，而就在 12 月 15 日，AQ 品牌正式升级为「蚂蚁阿福」, 并发布 App 新版本，升级健康陪伴、健康问答、健康服务三大功能。
蚂蚁集团副总裁、健康事业群总裁张俊杰介绍说，取名「阿福」寓意健康是福，健康的事就找阿福。
从 AI 工具转向 AI 健康朋友，阿福最大的变化在于健康陪伴板块，能够定制健康小目标、智能提醒、日常打卡，试图把健康管理变成每天都能做到的小事。
数据显示，阿福 App 的月活用户已超 1500 万，跻身国内 AI App 前五，每天回答用户 500 多万个健康提问，55% 用户来自三线及以下城市。
当 1500 万人把健康问题交给 AI，我们也不禁想问，在健康这个专业性极强的领域，为什么有这么多人会找它？
挂号靠抢，看病靠等，回家靠猜。这是很多人身体不舒服的就医三部曲。
阿福与通用型 AI 最大的不同在于，它的服务融入了「健康医疗」需求的一个个环节。健康陪伴、健康问答、在线问诊、解读报告、买药、挂号、医保支付……你以为只是个能问答的 AI，其实他能帮你走完大半个健康解答和就医的流程。
打开阿福，首先扑面而来的是那种熟悉的聊天界面。
在阿福内点击「AI 诊室」功能，它不会直接甩给你一堆医学文献，也不会用专业术语把你绕晕，而是像个老练的医生一样学会了「追问」。
比如我说「胃胀」，它会进一步追问症状出现的时间和进展，接着给出建议和原因分析。要知道，通用 AI 往往一问一答就结束了，而阿福的问诊方式更接近真人健康顾问。
并且，问诊结束后，它还能根据需求帮你预约挂号，推荐对症的医生专家。
听说吃木耳会致癌，是真的吗？
当我把这个问题输入阿福时，它先引用了权威的医学资料进行辟谣，然后详细解释了这类谣言的来源，最后还给出了科学的饮食建议。
让我惊喜的还有「名医 AI 分身」这个功能。
名医的资源为什么稀缺？因为他们的经验、注意力和时间都是有限的。而 AI 分身嘛，复制的正是他们最宝贵的知识和经验。
我关注了邓杰医生，并询问：「孕期爱吃辣会对宝宝有危害吗？」，这个 AI 分身解释了辛辣食物对孕妇的影响机制，并贴心地提醒了注意事项。
随手拍个药盒，阿福就能告诉你这药是干什么的，怎么吃，什么人不能吃，给出分量十足的用药提醒。
面对皮肤问题心里没底？拍张照，AI 能识别痤疮、银屑病等 50 种常见皮肤病。水油、衰老、敏感度等等，它能把感性的「皮肤不好」变成理性的数据指标，并给出护肤建议。
以前还得花钱去医院看的毛发检测，现在手机拍一下就能搞定。至于隐私问题，阿福设计了「无痕拍」模式，主打一个阅后即焚，本地不留痕。
而最解决痛点的，莫过于解读体检报告。
体检报告像天书，医生说的每个字都懂，连起来就不知道什么意思了。拍照上传或导入 PDF，几分钟内，阿福就能读懂 99% 的常见报告，准确率高达 90% 以上。
比起给你念一遍报告上的数字，它还会用人话解释这些指标是什么意思，哪些地方需要注意。
当然，阿福给出的是健康科普和参考建议，绝不越俎代庖替代诊疗。要是感到身体非常不舒服，还得老老实实去医院。
除了生病时的救急，阿福明显想更好地照顾你的日常生活。
通过增加健康陪伴的功能板块，阿福希望陪伴用户从日常就开始养成健康好习惯，构筑健康防线。这也是阿福区别于通用 AI 的核心优势。
现在，阿福支持连接华为、苹果、欧姆龙等主流品牌的智能设备，步数、睡眠时间、血压这些数据都会自动同步。这样一来，AI 对你的身体状况就有了更全面的了解，给出的建议也不会是通用的「多喝热水」。
比如你在健康档案里记录了身高体重，阿福帮你制定运动计划时就会根据你的 BMI 给出更科学的强度建议。你之前咨询过体重过轻怎么办，它就不会再跑来建议你减肥。
健康管理最理想的状态，是把大事化小，把小事化了，把了事化无。
新版阿福还上线了「健康小目标」和「健康小提醒」这两个陪伴型功能，用户可以设定运动、饮食、生活习惯等健康目标，阿福会像「私人教练」一样，根据目标为用户定制专属计划, 并每日提醒。
▲提升注意力秘籍
从运动饮食到戒烟睡眠，它每天盯着你打卡。甚至会根据季节变迁，提醒你流感防护或给老人小孩的照护建议。
以前是病了才想起医生，现在是 AI 追着提醒你别生病。
当然，AI 能做的始终是陪伴和提醒，真正的健康习惯养成，还得靠你自己的坚持和自觉。
而这一切体验的闭环，最终落在了蚂蚁最擅长的领域：服务集成。查医保、刷医保码、挂号买药，不需要在四五个 App 间来回跳转，阿福一站式搞定。
说实话，要把自己的健康放心交给 AI ，光有情绪价值是不够的，阿福背后的技术积累其实挺扎实的。
它基于蚂蚁医疗大模型，这个大模型在 HealthBench、MedBench 等行业榜单上长期霸榜。甚至在 OpenAI 主导的 HealthBench 测评里，某些指标还超过了 DeepSeek。
在数据层面，超万亿 tokens 的专业医疗语料，千万级医疗知识图谱，支撑起千亿参数的多模态模型。
简单说就是：它不光能看懂文字，还能看懂图片，能像真人医生一样主动追问你的症状。
更关键的是，AQ 背后站着一群真人专家。六位国家院士领衔，500 多位名医在上面开通了「AI 分身」。
蚂蚁健康团队里，60% 的人都有医学院、医院或互联网医疗背景，还组建了千人规模的医学标注团队在持续调教大模型。你问的每个健康问题，背后其实都有这群人在帮你「把关」。
用户也用脚投票，给这款「正规军」出身的 AI 产品投出了惊人的赞成票。目前阿福的月活用户已经超 1500 万，跻身国内 AI App 前五，成为第一大健康管理 AI App。
有时去治愈，常常去帮助，总是去安慰。（To Cure Sometimes,To Relieve Often,To Comfort Alway）
公共卫生先驱特鲁多医生墓志铭上的这句话，在 AI 时代有了新的注解。
归根结底，大家对健康的焦虑，源于一个巨大的「供需错配」。
中国居民人均预期寿命已经到了 79 岁，3 亿多老人对养生、康复、护理有巨大需求。90 后、00 后也开始保温杯里泡枸杞，练起了八段锦。
同时慢病管理成了全民课题。中国慢病患者超过 5 亿人，但知晓率、分析率、控制率都很低。拿高血压来说，2.7 亿患者里知晓率只有 57%，超八成的患者血压控制不佳。
这种时候你去三甲医院挂号？排队三小时看病三分钟，医生也没空跟你细聊。
而正如药王孙思邈所言：「上工治未病之病，中工治欲病之病，下工治已病之病」，高明的医生往往能够在疾病未发之时及早干预，从而防止病发。
阿福这种随时可问、专业靠谱、还不用排队的健康 AI，正好卡在了这个需求点上，不仅能够及时地提供帮助和安慰，还解决了普通人日常那些不值当跑医院但又真实存在的健康困惑。
对于医生而言，这也是一种解放。
杭州市七医院副院长毛洪京的 AI 分身，累计服务了 368 万人。这是线下门诊无论如何也无法企及的效率杠杆。健康 AI 不是要干掉医生，而是让优质健康服务变得更可及，让每个人都能在日常生活中被好好照顾到。
比尔·盖茨曾预测，未来十年内 AI 将让优秀医疗建议变得像水和电一样廉价普及。
阿福让我们看到，这样的未来并非遥不可及。
通过将专业医理通俗化、专家经验普惠化，阿福让每个人都能平等地获取优质健康服务。填平专业鸿沟，让稀缺资源变得唾手可得，这才是技术最大的善意。
所以，当 1500 万人把健康问题交给 AI，他们相信的除了技术本身，还有技术背后那些真正懂健康、守边界、有温度的人。
在这个人人都有点「脆皮」的时代，我们需要的不只是一个搜索引擎或聊天机器人，而是一个真正懂你、陪你、帮你的「健康搭子」。

前些年，每逢感恩节过后，会请助理给各地的朋友寄一本事务所的挂历，再附上我的一封信。Lee一直在那个名单上。
我来美国后，先工作了两年，后来去读学位。开学报到之后，学院有个新生招待会，备置了饮料和零食。新生在胸前贴上自己的名字，聚在招待处，吃喝谈笑。Lee在一堆身材高大的新生中略显瘦小，穿着普通，讲话一脸笑容，没有化妆。一个朴实的中西部女孩子。看我站在旁边，她伸出手说：“我叫Lee。”
握手寒暄之后，她问我是韩国人还是中国人。那个学校东亚面孔的学生主要来自这两个地方。我说是中国人，她就问Lee在中文中有什么意思。我说听发音，会有很多意思， 可以是梨，或者犁，也可以是李子、栗子，或者茉莉，还可以是美丽。她说，那就是茉莉吧，很有中国味道。但以后见了面，仍然叫她Lee。
第一学期，课业紧张，大多数日子在两点一线穿梭。在教室碰到Lee，寒喧几句，又各自忙碌。偶尔午饭时遇到，就多聊一会儿。那时候，她是国民卫队现役下士，每月有一个周末去军营训练，日子比我们更紧张。她的任务是驾驶黑鹰直升机，负责运送士兵和装备。
周五下课后，她开四个小时车去军营报到，训练两天，周日晚再开回学校上课。同学中还有另外两位预备役军人，但都是男生。一位戴眼镜，文质彬彬，曾在海军服役。有次聊天，他说服役时军舰曾在香港停泊，上岸逍遥，十分喜欢。另一位有菲律宾血统，曾在陆战队服役，个头不高，但像牛 一样结实。他言语不多，似乎不是太喜欢学校生活。
第二学期，学院贴出告示，说院刊要从学生中招几位编辑，招聘标准是看第一学期成绩，再加一篇命题作文。在走廊看告示的时候，碰到Lee。她问，你去不去应聘?我有点动心，但那篇命题作文也让我犹疑。我三十岁以后才用英文写作业，对这种语言充满隔膜。此前，虽然翻译过一些英文书，但翻译是一回事，写作是另一回事。
我问Lee是否参加，她说是。见我犹疑，她又说：“你也参加吧，即便选不上也损失不了什么，但不试一下，就不知道能不能选上。”我想，是啊，就决定参加了。Lee见自己有说服力，很高兴的样子，话就多起来，说同学中没有几个像你读过那么多福克纳、海明威 ，你肯定写得好。说得我有些飘飘然的感觉，但内心知道，读文学是一回事，写论文是另一回事。
作文比赛的结果出来了。Lee跟我都在榜上，对我来说是个惊喜，但Lee一直胸有成竹。
编辑部要审阅稿子，定期讨论，与Lee见面多起来。她做事很认真，但并不苛求。有时遇到语法、表述和引用格式问题 ，我会向她请教。编辑间常会有不同意见，争执不下，Lee跟我总是站在一方。偶尔，她会报怨个别编辑对作者过于苛求。编辑部的工作，如果认真做，每周要花十几小时。遇到交作业或考试，只好从睡眠时间中往外挤。Lee仍旧去军营训练，要比我们从睡眠中挤出更多的时间。有几次讨论 ，她看上去实在疲惫，坐在角落一言不发。
那年三月，伊拉克战争爆发。同学中很多人反战，也有不少人支持推翻萨达姆。对于大部分同学来说，战火是另外一个世界的事情。但对于预备役军人来说，却随时可以发生在自己身上。菲律宾裔同学被部队召回，送到前线。他发回了一些战斗前后与战 友在一起的照片，学院张贴在布告栏中。
那时候，伊拉克似乎时常有战斗，每天电视上都公布阵亡美军士兵的名单。新闻说，前线兵员紧张，开始从国民卫队中抽调士兵。我问Lee，她说已经有一起训练的战友被送到伊拉克去了，不知道哪一天她就会接到命令。我们尽量避开这个话题，她似乎也不太担忧，反正每天都有做不完的事情。跟大部分同学不同，她从不说是赞成还是反对那场战争。
几个星期后，Lee接到了命令，要开赴伊拉克前线。学院在小教堂举行了一个送别仪式。她讲话仍然一脸笑容，说我们一起入学，但不能一起毕业了。送士兵去前线，爱国是主题。但同学和我只想让Lee平安回来。虽是道别，却不伤感，她脸上仍然是疲惫的笑容。那时候，不能理解为何他们要送一位女生去前线。
Lee走后的几个月，每次看到电视上在伊拉克阵亡士兵的照片和名单，就会想到她，为她担忧。战事时断时续，她的消息越来越少。后来，当地报纸报导了家乡去的军人在伊拉克的情况。在报导中看到了Lee的名字，她说：“到了前线，人生就变了，只想一件事，其他都不再忧虑了。”我们隔着半个世界，一边是战火，一边是和平，都知道那件事是指什么。
最后一学期，大家忙着找工作，为毕业后的生计奔波。编辑部招新人进来，老编辑离校前合影留念，还专门请来摄影师。毕业快二十年了，我的书架上一直放着那张照片，只是Lee不在上面。我们照像的时候，她正在伊拉克前线。当初，如果没有Lee鼓励，我也不会在那张照片上。
同学四散，我一路南下，流落到德克萨斯定居下来。一年后，Lee从伊拉克返回家乡，恢复了学业，毕业留在本地工作。我们相隔千里，偶尔通信问候。几年前，她打电话来，说正在奥斯汀出差，只是路程太紧，来不了休斯顿拜访。相距三个小时车程，算是擦肩而过。
Lee没有孩子。疫情前，她说想从加纳收养个孩子。如今，她也已经年近半百。不知道是否了却了那桩心愿。
感恩节过后，Lee收到挂历，每次都会来信感谢。 记得最清晰的是有一年，她说挂历很好看，但附信更令人感动，她珍藏起来，作为自己写信的样板。唉，那么多年过去了，经历了风风雨雨，甚至战火，Lee依旧本色，不吝惜给人美言和鼓励，真诚而朴实。
旧事随流水，转眼二十几年。青春过后，岁月催人老。念及当年，同学一场，青春还有些余音，还没有被生活压缩得面目全非。如今都成了往昔。人生如萍水相逢，尽是他乡之客。有些美好的记忆挥之不去，让异乡人在漂泊中感到故人的温暖。
知情人士称，中国瑞幸咖啡正考虑竞购雀巢旗下的蓝瓶咖啡，以提升品牌形象并拓展高端咖啡市场。
彭博社引述知情人士报道，中国最大的咖啡连锁品牌瑞幸咖啡及品牌投资方大钲资本，也在评估其他收购目标，包括在中国区% Arabica咖啡门店的运营商。有关运营商的投资者包括私募股权公司PAG。
知情人士透露，瑞幸咖啡和大钲资本也曾考虑过收购可口可乐公司旗下的连锁咖啡品牌Costa Coffee，但相关交易推进的可能性不大。
瑞幸咖啡的美国存托凭证星期二（12月16日）下跌7.3%，创下4月以来最大单日跌幅。今年以来，瑞幸咖啡的美国存托凭证累计上涨25%，公司市值达到90亿美元（116.22亿新元）。
知情人士称，相关讨论仍处于早期阶段，最终可能不会达成收购协议。
瑞幸咖啡成立于2017年，如今有数千家门店，主打价格亲民的咖啡。瑞幸咖啡的增长势头强劲，在中国的门店数量已超越星巴克。
蓝瓶咖啡2002年在美国加利福尼亚州创立。15年后，雀巢投资该公司，斥资约4.25亿美元收购了68%的股份。除了美国外，蓝瓶咖啡在中国大陆、香港、日本、新加坡和韩国也设有门店。
由香港导演周冠威执导的电影《自杀通告》被禁止在香港上映。周冠威透露，他向香港有关部门申请公开上映时，得到的回复指这部电影上映会“不利国家安全”，因此被拒绝。
《自杀通告》以学生自杀为题材，反思教育理念、社会价值观以及家庭与学校的压力，今年11月在台湾上映。
周冠威星期二（12月16日）在脸书发文称，他今年8月4日向香港电影、报刊及物品管理部门申请上映，但等待逾四个月后才收到拒绝通知。
香港当局在回复中指出，经综合评估，影片上映“会不利于国家安全条例第10（2）（d）条”，因此不宜上映。回复还提醒，根据条例第7条，未经批准上映影片属犯罪，一经定罪可处100万港元（16.6万新元）罚款及三年监禁。
周冠威说，他已经咨询律师，曾经考虑司法覆核控告政府，“但律师意见不出所料，在司法崩坏的时代，控告政府，没有太大意义。如果败诉，更有可能被政府追讨过百万的诉讼费”。
他指出，《自杀通告》被列为禁片，“依据的法例只是写上这七个字‘不利于国家安全’，而再无进一步解释，国安法就是不用解释，荒谬、过分、粗暴、不公义，国安法遗祸香港，再多一个案例”。
周冠威说，《自杀通告》是商业电影，如今被动地变成政治事件，被认定为不利国家安全的电影，“香港上映不到，接受这个现实很痛苦”。他还说：“这套电影命途多坎坷，当然不只这套电影，包括我的电影事业，也包括——香港。”
台湾内政部预告修正草案，规定地方县市首长、涉及国安的公务员等人员，申请赴中国大陆探亲、奔丧亲属的亲等，由四等亲改为三等亲内后，大陆国台办回应，民进党费尽心机阻挠限制台湾民众到大陆，并指“这种滥权妄为的行径必遭民意唾弃”。
国台办星期三（12月17日）举行例行新闻发布会。有记者问，民进党拟修改“台湾地区公务员及特定身份人员进入大陆地区许可办法”，规定地方县市首长、部分公务员等人员，申请赴大陆探亲、奔丧亲属的亲等由四亲等内改为三亲等内；规范大部分公务员高阶主管与警官等赴大陆要提前七天申请。对此有何评论？
国台办发言人朱凤莲回答，这是民进党阻挠禁限两岸交流往来的又一恶行。她指出，民进党费尽心机阻挠限制台湾同胞到大陆，罗织罪名、打压迫害台湾积极参与两岸交流的团体个人，企图阻挡两岸同胞走近走亲，这种滥权妄为的行径必遭民意唾弃。
政治立场亲绿的《自由时报》上星期五（12月12日）报道，台湾内政部预告修正“台湾地区公务员及特定身份人员进入大陆地区许可办法”。修正草案指出，鉴于近年中共在大陆及香港、澳门积极诱拉台湾公务员，同时违法逮捕、羁押、盘查等案例不断累积，公务员赴大陆及香港澳门的人身安全风险日益升高，为配合强化公务员赴大陆的管理政策，因此提出修正草案。
许可办法原规定，担任台湾行政职务的政务人员、直辖市长、县市长、涉及“国家”安全、利益或机密业公务人员及涉及“国家”核心关键技术业务的人员，符合探视四亲等内亲属、从事业务相关活动或会议等五种情况可以申请进入大陆。
不过，台湾内政部称，为维护两岸交流安全，并考量实际需求，此次修法参考“大陆地区人民进入台湾地区许可办法”规定，就申请探亲、探病或奔丧的亲属，其亲等由四亲等内修正为三亲等内；另外，也规范未涉及国安的公务员高阶主管与警官等赴大陆，须提前七天申请。
台湾陆委会发言人梁文杰也说，这个规定已经实施非常多年，早年有不少台湾公务员是大陆迁移过来的，不少亲戚朋友在大陆，所以很多人有四等亲。
梁文杰还说，四等亲是指表哥、表妹，但这么多年下来，有些公务员滥用四等亲。例如一个受管制的公务人员，申请要去大陆探望表妹，要去探亲，这是社会不太能接受的；他说，所以把四等亲改为三等亲，三等亲是指叔叔、伯伯，比较符合一般社会观感。
中国河南南阳市方城县一所学校宿舍去年1月发生火灾，造成13人死亡。当地官方在事发近两年后发布调查报告称，火灾由一名小学生在宿舍内使用打火机，引燃衣物和床铺迅速蔓延引发；25人因监督管理不到位等原因被处理处分。
方城县独树镇砚山铺村英才学校的宿舍2024年1月19日发生火灾，造成13人遇难、四人受伤。
河南省星期三（12月17日）发布方城县英才学校重大火灾事故调查报告称，事故发生后，河南省政府牵头成立调查组，通过现场勘验、调查询问、检验鉴定、视频分析和模拟实验等方式，对起火原因进行了深入调查。
调查显示，火灾由起火宿舍内一名小学生使用打火机引燃衣物和床铺，迅速蔓延引发。河南省纪检监察机关依规依纪依法，对履职不力、监督管理不到位的25名责任人员作出严肃处理和处分。
据悉，涉事校方李姓、徐姓、贾姓三名嫌犯因涉教育设施重大安全事故罪的案件，将于近期开庭审理。
在官方调查报告公布前几天，中国多家媒体聚焦报道了这起发生于一年多前的火灾事故，指事故发生近两年，官方迟迟未向外界发布调查结果。
涉事孩子的父母透露，自事故发生以来，省、市等各级部门均未向遇难者家属提供书面调查报告，事故原因和经过均由公职人员口述，且家属不得录音录像。当家属询问为何没有书面报告时，被告知因涉及“未成年人”，相关信息不予公开。
第一财经发表评论称，当地部门以《未成年人保护法》为由拒绝公布的说法站不住脚。《未成年人保护法》第103条规定，公安机关、检察院、法院、司法行政部门及其他组织和个人不得披露案件中未成年人的姓名、影像、住所、就读学校等可识别身份的信息，但规定针对的是案件处理中的未成年人信息保护，而非事故调查结果的公开。

苹果正在酝酿 iPhone 产品线有史以来最大规模的扩张。
The Information 从多位苹果产品及供应商的有关人士了解到，苹果计划在未来两年内，将 iPhone 产品线从目前的 5 款扩张到至少 7 款之多，新产品中还将包括苹果近年来最大胆的设计革新——可折叠 iPhone，以及四曲面 iPhone。
多位直接参与项目的人士透露，首款可折叠 iPhone 将于 2026 年秋季发布。
这款内部代号为 V68 的折叠 iPhone，与目前市面上的主流折叠手机明显不同，采用的是横向折叠方案。展开后屏幕比例更偏横向，形态更接近一台 iPad，而非当下大多数折叠手机展开后近似正方形的设计。
具体来看，V68 在折叠状态下的外屏约为 5.3 英寸，比例更接近正方形。这个甚至比 iPhone mini 还要小的尺寸，再叠加略显特殊的屏幕比例，可能会在一定程度上限制其折叠状态下的实用性。不过，相关人士也表示，最终的尺寸和比例仍存在调整空间。
折叠 iPhone 的前置摄像头将嵌入屏幕的左上角，配备光线、距离等传感器，但不具备面容 ID 功能，手机将大概率采用侧边指纹解锁。
这是苹果迄今为止设计过最复杂的手机之一，苹果对这款设备严加保密，显示屏、铰链和其他关键组件都使用代号，连不少苹果员工和供应商都不清楚这台设备的全部功能。
显示屏的部分材料来自康宁和德国肖特等特种玻璃材料公司——后者已经是三星折叠屏手机供应商。
来自中国的蓝思科技和伯恩光学则也参与研究可折叠显示屏的不同部件，而富士康正在位于中国观澜的工厂进行这台设备的试产。
根据彭博社和 RS Web Solutions 等多个信源，苹果已经攻克了折叠内屏的折痕问题，铰链部分可能采用高强度液态金属，以提升耐用性并减少形变。
苹果也与三星合作，验证全贴合 In-Cell 触控屏技术，能进一步隐藏折痕，并提高触摸精度，具体的技术细节可以看看这篇文章：《苹果怎么造「无折痕」iPhone》。
▲ 有一种说法：iPhone Fold 类似两台 iPhone Air 拼接
不过直接参与研发的人员透露，苹果在显示屏生产的过程中遇到了较大的良率问题，当然这在开发阶段也属于正常现象。
定价方面，折叠屏 iPhone 的售价或将达到约 2400 美元（近 1.7 万元人民币），成为迄今为止最昂贵的 iPhone。
2027 年将是 iPhone 发布的二十周年，苹果计划推出一款纪念版 iPhone，采用前所未有的曲面玻璃设计。
这款内部代号为 V72 的设备，将是一台「全玻璃」iPhone——屏幕和背面的玻璃将沿四个边缘弯曲，彻底消灭屏幕黑色边框，目前尚不清楚屏幕本身是否会弯曲。
而手机中框将被压缩成为一条极窄的金属条，位于目前 iPhone 的中部，用于放置手机的按键。
苹果也将消灭手机开孔，将前置摄像头和面容 ID 组件放置于屏下，这台 iPhone 20 将成为首款「真 · 全面屏设计」iPhone，实现乔布斯「魔力玻璃」的夙愿。
由于 iPhone 常规系列在今年才迎来大升级，明年的 iPhone 18 系列将以渐进式升级为主，但也有一些亮点。
对于代号为 V63 和 V64 的 iPhone 18 Pro 与 Pro Max 来说，最引人注目的变化是，苹果将采用加拿大公司 OTI Lumionics 的技术，将整个 Face ID 传感器隐藏在屏幕下方。
这意味着自 2017 年 iPhone X 的「刘海」，到 2022 年 iPhone 14 Pro 的「药丸」，iPhone 手机正面的巨大切口终于要消失了——据悉，iPhone 18 Pro 正面将是「打孔屏」，屏幕左上角保留一个单独前置摄像头圆形开孔，逐步过渡到屏下摄像头方案。
后置摄像头方面，苹果计划为至少一颗后置摄像头加入机械光圈结构，能够控制镜头的进光量，苹果还将采用新的摄像头传感器，能在夜间捕捉更多光线的同时，避免照片在白天过曝。
苹果还将在 iPhone 18 Pro 系列上采用台积电的新一代芯片封装技术——晶圆级多芯片模组封装（Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module），可将运行内存放置在更接近处理器的位置，让设备能在本地运行更高级的 AI 功能，无需等待云端响应，也能减少成本。
预计 iPhone 18 Pro 系列在外观设计方面，与 iPhone 17 Pro 保持相似。
至于命运多舛的 iPhone Air 2，苹果目前计划将其放在 2027 年春季、与 iPhone 18 和 iPhone 18e 一同发布。
据悉，苹果原计划是在明年秋季，与 iPhone Pro 和折叠 iPhone 一起发布 iPhone Air 2，但在上个月突然取消了试产，原因很容易猜测——初代 iPhone Air 市场表现不佳。
苹果正在重新设计这款代号为 V62 的产品，考虑增加第二颗摄像头，并降低零售价格，这些都是初代 iPhone Air 的痛点。立讯精密将在江苏昆山工厂主导新产品的试产工作，预计最早将于明年 3 月重启。
代号为 V67 的 iPhone 18，则是一次小幅更新，更值得讨论的是它的发布时间——2027 年春季，而不是 2026 年秋季发布会，意味着它的发布时间将比同代 Pro 机型晚半年。
苹果计划移除 iPhone 18 拍照按钮的触觉反馈和触摸功能，以节省成本。虽然功能被砍是一次退步，但考虑到用户对拍照按钮的冷淡甚至消极态度，这次牙膏倒吸或许不会收到太多负面评价。
这可能也意味着，苹果正在渐渐边缘化拍照按钮，最终彻底移除。

iPhone 18e 计划与 iPhone 18 一同在 2027 年秋季发布，代号为 V69，目前信息较少，但 iPhone 18 和 iPhone 18e 将首次尝试先在印度班加罗尔的富士康工厂进行大规模生产，然后再在中国生产。
iPhone 18 Pro 和 iPhone Fold 还要我们等差不多一年，下一款将发布的 iPhone，则是明年春季的 iPhone 17e。
代号为 V159 的 iPhone 17e 将引入一些上代缺失但用户喜爱的功能：灵动岛、MagSafe 磁吸，搭载 iPhone 17 同款 A19 处理器和 1800 万像素前置摄像头，至于基带芯片可能会沿用 C1，也可能会搭载 C1X。
不过，预计 iPhone 17e 的屏幕刷新率依旧保持在 60Hz，和 iPhone 17 标准版形成差异，产品也将继续主打「优秀续航」。
最近的 iOS 26.2 更新，也泄露了一大波即将在明年发布的苹果产品：
iPad：
Mac：
配件和家庭新品：
对于今年最后一季度的财报，苹果相当看好，并预计将是「有史以来最好的一次」，原因无它：今年的新 iPhone 卖爆了（除了 iPhone Air）。
面对 AI 浪潮的落后、空间计算的折戟、国产手机的逼迫等等多重挑战，苹果的底气就是 iPhone，占据总营收半壁江山，并且只要苹果拿出一点诚意，就能卖得很好。
由今年开始，苹果硬件已经进入了连续三个大年，折叠 iPhone 和 iPhone 20 囿于定价和形态，很难成为下一款爆品，但起码苹果不会缺少话题度。
与此同时，MacBook、iPad 也将迎来设计和配置更新，Apple Glass 智能眼镜和家用机器人等产品也蓄势待发。
多款新品同时推进，也意味着巨大的研发和供应链协调挑战。从可折叠屏幕的高良品率问题，到 iPhone Air 2 的紧急重新设计，都显示出苹果在创新与市场之间的艰难平衡。
某种程度上，这一轮强势的硬件攻势，也更像是一种缓兵之计，用产品节奏暂时填补生成式 AI 叙事的空白。到了明年，iPhone 16 都将发布满两年，而作为其重要卖点的 AI Siri，仍然没有走到台前。
这或许才是苹果接下来最无法回避的问题。

BBCUS President Donald Trump has said he is ordering a "a total and complete" blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela.
In a post on Truth Social, he accused Venezuela of stealing US assets, such as oil and land, and of "Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking".
"Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela," he added.
His post came a week after the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela – a move that marked a sharp escalation Washington's pressure campaign against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro's government.
In the post, the US president said Venezuela was "completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America".
He added that it will "only get bigger" and "be like nothing they have ever seen before".
Trump also accused Maduro's government of using stolen oil to "finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping".
Venezuela has not yet responded to Trump's latest remarks.
The Trump administration has repeatedly accused Venezuela of drug smuggling and since September the US military has killed at least 90 people in strikes on boats it has alleged were carrying fentanyl and other illegal drugs to the US.
In recent months, the US has also moved warships into the region.
Venezuela - home to some of the world's largest proven oil reserves - has, in turn, accused Washington of seeking to steal its resources.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed murder charges against a son of Rob and Michele Reiner, the Hollywood couple who were found dead in their home with multiple stab wounds on Sunday.
Nick Reiner, 32, is facing two counts of first-degree murder and could be sentenced to life in prison if found guilty. He will be brought to court to formally face charges after he is "medically-cleared" by prison officials, District Attorney Nathan Hochman said.
During a news conference on Tuesday, Mr Hochman also said no decision had yet been made about whether to seek the death penalty.
Rob Reiner directed several iconic films in a variety of genres, including This is Spinal Tap, Misery and A Few Good Men.
Michele Singer Reiner was an actress, photographer and producer, and the founder of Reiner Light, a photography agency and production company.
Their son Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first degree murder, "with a special circumstance of multiple murders," according to Hochman. That enhancement could lead to a stiffer sentence if he is later found guilty.
District Attorney Hochman said he also is accused of using a "dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife".
The suspect is currently undergoing medical testing to ensure that he can attend court. He is expected to appear before a judge later on Tuesday for an arraignment hearing, where he will be able to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.
LA Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell also spoke during the news conference, describing how the case has reverberated throughout the city.
"This case is heartbreaking and deeply personal, not only for the Reiner family and their loved ones, but for the entire city," he said.
"We extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy."
Getty ImagesDuring the news conference, officials declined to say how the suspect was located, attributing his arrest to "good, solid police work".
District Attorney Hochman added that it is too early to say whether any "mental illness" played a role in the crime, and speculated that it could come up at trial.
"If there is evidence of mental illness, it will appear in court, in whatever details the defence seeks to present," he said.
ReutersPresident Donald Trump has expanded a US travel ban, barring nationals of five additional countries and people travelling on Palestinian Authority-issued documents from entering the US.
The White House said the restrictions were intended "to protect the security of the United States" and will come into force on 1 January.
Full-entry restrictions will be imposed on people from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria as well as Palestinian Authority passport holders.
The administration also moved Laos and Sierra Leone, which were previously subject to partial restrictions, to the full ban list and put partial restrictions on 15 other countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
Trump, who has tightened immigration controls since returning to the White House in January, said the expanded travel ban was necessary because of what his administration described as failures in screening and vetting systems overseas.
Officials cited high visa overstay rates, unreliable civil records, corruption, terrorist activity and a lack of cooperation in accepting deported nationals.
The announcement followed the arrest of an Afghan national suspected of shooting two National Guard troops over the Thanksgiving weekend, an incident the White House pointed to in highlighting its security concerns.
This is the third time Trump has imposed a travel ban.
During his first term, he introduced a similar order in 2017, which sparked protests and legal challenges at home and abroad. The policy was later upheld by the US Supreme Court.
The White House said the restrictions would remain in place until affected countries show "credible improvements" in identity management, information-sharing and cooperation with US immigration authorities.
A number of exceptions apply and the ban will not affect lawful permanent residents, many existing visa holders, diplomats, or athletes travelling for major sporting events. Officials said case-by-case waivers would also be available where travel is deemed to be in the national interest.

ReutersThe European Union has watered down its plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035.
Current rules state that new vehicles sold from that date should be "zero emission", but carmakers, particularly in Germany, have lobbied heavily for concessions.
Under the European Commission's new plan, 90% of new cars sold from 2035 would have to be zero-emission, rather than 100%.
According to the European carmakers association, ACEA, market demand for electric cars is currently too low, and without a change to the rules, manufacturers would risk "multi-billion euro" penalties.
The remaining 10% could be made up of conventional petrol or diesel cars, along with hybrids.
Carmakers will be expected to compensate for the extra emissions created by these vehicles by using biofuels and so-called e-fuels, which are synthesised from captured carbon dioxide.
They will also be expected to use low-carbon steel made in the European Union in the vehicles they produce.
Opponents of the move have warned that it risks undermining the transition towards electric vehicles and leaving Europe exposed in the face of foreign competition.
The green transport group T&E has warned that the UK should not follow the EU's lead by weakening its own plans to phase out the sale of conventional cars under the Zero Emission Vehicles Mandate.
"The UK must stand firm. Our ZEV mandate is already driving jobs, investment and innovation into the UK. As major exporters we cannot compete unless we innovate, and global markets are going electric fast", said T&E UK's director Anna Krajinska.
Getty ImagesWhite House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has disputed portions of a Vanity Fair article in which she paints an unflattering picture of the Trump administration and many of its top officials.
In the interview, Wiles described Donald Trump as having an "alcoholic's personality" and Vice President JD Vance as having been a "conspiracy theorist" for a decade.
But in a post on X, Wiles said that Vanity Fair disregarded "significant context" to create "an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative" about the administration.
Wiles, 68, played a key part in Trump's successful 2024 presidential campaign before becoming the first woman to be White House Chief of Staff.
Over the course of nearly a dozen interviews with Vanity Fair, Wiles talked about a wide range of issues, including handling of Epstein files, Trump's legal actions against politcal rivals, and also about personalities around the president.
She admitted that "there may be an element of" retribution in Trump's efforts to pursue criminal cases against political adversaries or perceived foes.
"I don't think he wakes up thinking about retribution," she added. "But when there's an opportunity, he will go for it."
Wiles is widely considered among the most powerful members of the Trump White House in his second term.
Prior to becoming Chief of Staff, Wiles had a long history working with Trump, including as his campaign manager in Florida in 2016 and as the head of his fundraising apparatus, Save America.
In the interview, she credits her upbringing with an alcoholic father as what enabled her to work with the president.
"High-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink," she said. "So I'm a little bit of an expert in big personalities."
While the president does not drink, she said Trump has "an alcoholic's personality" and governs with the mindset that "there's nothing he can't do. Nothing, zero, nothing".
Among the other figures that Wiles commented on was JD Vance, a one-time critic of Trump who has since become a close ally and vice-president.
Wiles suggested that Vance's shift in perceptions was "sort of political".
Speaking to reporters at an event on Tuesday, Vance said he had not read the article, but that he only believes in conspiracy theories that are "true" - citing reports of former President Joe Biden's ill-health as an example.
Her strongest comments were reserved for tech billionaire Elon Musk, who led cost-cutting efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency - or Doge - before leaving the government in May.
Shortly thereafter, Musk and Trump had a public spat that saw the two men trade barbs and insults over social media.
Wiles described Musk as an "avowed Ketamine [user]" who "sleeps in a sleeping bag in the EOB", the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House.
"He's an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are," she said. "You know, it's not helpful, but he is his own person."
Looking back on Musk's cost-cutting efforts, Wiles said that she was against the gutting of the US Agency for International Development, or USAID, saying she was "initially aghast" at the idea.
"I think that anybody that pays attention to government and has ever paid attention to USAID believed, as I did, that they do very good work," she recalled.
"Elon's attitude is you have to get it done fast. If you're an incrementalist, you just won't get your rocket to the moon," Wiles said. "With that attitude, you're going to break some china. But no rational person could think the USAID process was a good one. Nobody."
On Tuesday morning - hours after the Vanity Fair article was published - Wiles took to X, accusing the magazine of "disingenuously framed hit piece" aimed at her, Trump and other cabinet members.
"Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team," she wrote.
When contacted for comment on the story, the White House also defended Wiles.
In a statement sent to the BBC, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Wiles "has helped President Trump achieve the most successful first 11 months in office of any President in American history."
"President Trump has no greater or more loyal advisor than Susie," Leavitt added. "The entire administration is grateful to her steady leadership and united fully behind her."
Speaking to reporters outside the West Wing later in the day, Leavitt accused Vanity Fair of "bias of omission" by excluding other interviews conducted with White House staff and taking Wiles' words "wildly out of context".
Trump and Musk have yet to comment on the Vanity Fair piece.
ReutersA California doctor who sold ketamine to Friends star Matthew Perry has been sentenced to eight months of home detention and three years of supervised release, making him the second person to be sentenced in the actor's death.
Dr Mark Chavez is among five people - including another doctor and a dealer known as the Ketamine Queen - who have pleaded guilty to drug-related charges stemming from sitcom star's 2023 death at his Los Angeles home.
The San Diego-based physician admitted to obtaining ketamine from his clinic and a wholesale distributor through a fraudulent prescription and sold it to Dr Salvador Plasencia, who supplied the dissociative anaesthetic to Perry.
Plasencia was sentenced earlier this month to 30 months in prison.
The multiyear federal investigation into Perry's death examined how the Emmy-winning actor acquired ketamine through an underground drug network in Hollywood.
Ketamine, a surgical anaesthetic, is used as a treatment for depression, anxiety and pain.
Perry, who had battled drug addiction and depression, had been prescribed the drug as part of his treatment but soon started seeking more than what he was allotted.
That ultimately led him to the drug ring that ensnared the two doctors, Perry's live-in assistant, a man named Erik Fleming and American-British dual-national Jasveen Sangha, the dealer known as the Ketamine Queen.
The latter three are due to be sentenced in the coming months.
A post-mortem examination of Perry found a high concentration of ketamine in his blood and determined that "acute effects" of the substance killed him.
ReutersProsecutors said Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, worked with Chavez and Plasencia to provide the actor with more than $50,000 (£38,000) of ketamine in the weeks before his death.
In his plea agreement, Chavez admitted that he obtained ketamine from both his former clinic and a wholesale distributor through a fraudulent prescription. He submitted a fraudulent prescription for 30 ketamine lozenges under a former patient's name - without her knowledge or consent - to sell to Plasencia to give to Perry.
He confessed to selling 22 vials of liquid ketamine and nine ketamine lozenges to Plasencia, according to his October 2024 plea agreement.
The transaction was part of a broader scheme in which Chavez and Plasencia discussed exploiting Perry's addiction for financial gain by mocking him in their text exchanges.
"I wonder how much this moron will pay," Plasencia wrote to Chavez.
Chavez faced up to 10 years in federal prison. As part of his October 2024 plea deal, he surrendered his medical licence and passport.
Getty ImagesThe United States has designated a notorious drug-trafficking organisation in Colombia as a terrorist group.
The US Treasury Department added the group, known as Clan del Golfo or Gulf Clan, to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organisations (FTOs).
The designation came just hours after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order classifying the drug fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction".
The two moves are seen as a further ramping-up of the Trump administration's war on drugs which has also seen it carry out more than 20 lethal strikes on boats suspected to be carrying drugs in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
GettyMore than 90 people were killed in the strikes on the boats, which some legal experts say breach the law.
Clan del Golfo is the latest Latin American criminal group to be added to US Treasury's list of FTOs.
The group has been engaging in criminal activities for decades, mainly trafficking cocaine from Colombia - the largest producer of the drug - to destinations in the US and Europe.
But the Clan del Golfo, which is based in the northern Urabá region of Colombia, also plays a key role smuggling migrants through the Darién Gap, the expanse of jungle linking Colombia to Panama.
In a statement announcing its designation as an FTO, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the group was also behind terrorist attacks against public officials, law enforcement and military personnel, and civilians in Colombia.
It is estimated to have thousands of members and is thought to be the largest cocaine-trafficking gang currently operating in Colombia.
It joins three other Colombian criminal groups on the list of FTOs: the left-wing guerrilla group National Liberation Army (ELN), and two groups which broke away from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - a Marxist guerrilla force - when it signed a peace agreement with the Colombian government in 2016.
The FTO designation of the Clan del Golfo by the US comes less than a fortnight after Colombia's President, Gustavo Petro, signed a landmark agreement with the criminal group aimed at bringing peace to the areas under its control.
AFP via Getty ImagesPetro campaigned on a promise to bring "total peace" to the South American country, which has for decades suffered from cartel and guerrilla violence.
But more than three years after he took office, talks with most of the armed groups in the country have stalled or fallen apart altogether.
The announcement earlier this month that Colombian government officials had reached an agreement with the Clan del Golfo for the group to start taking steps towards laying down their arms was a win for Petro.
Part of that deal was an understanding that members of the Clan del Golfo would not face extradition to the UN.
The US designating Clan del Golfo as an FTO is likely to complicate the talks the Colombian government was having with the group.
Petro has not yet reacted to the move, but relations between the Colombian leader and the Trump administration have been acrimonious.
EPAPetro has called the lethal strikes the US has carried out on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Pacific "murder".
In turn, Rubio has publicly labelled the Colombian president a "lunatic".
The immediate effect of the FTO designation is that the US will have more powers to punish the group.
Any assets the Clan del Golfo may hold at US financial institutions are frozen and individuals - even US citizens - who knowingly provide "material support" to the group can be prosecuted.
The move comes amid high tension in the region, with Trump repeatedly warning that "strikes on land" against "narco-terrorists" could soon follow those against alleged drug vessels at sea.
So far Trump has mainly homed in on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whom he accuses of leading another group the US has designated as an FTO: the Cartel of the Suns.
But asked by journalists about his plans for Venezuela on Friday, he not only again invoked the possibility of attacking drug smugglers on land but also appeared to hint at the possibility of doing so in Colombia.
"Colombia has at least three cocaine factories. That's a different country," he said.
And later he added: "But it's not only land strikes on Venezuela, it's land strikes on horrible people that are bringing in drugs and killing our people."
Trump has argued that the strikes on the alleged drug boats are saving US lives by preventing the powerful opioid fentanyl from reaching the US.
Fentanyl abuse has triggered one of the worst public health emergencies to hit the US, with more than 110,000 drug-related deaths in the US in 2023.
While the number of fatal drug overdoses fell by 25% in 2024, tackling this crisis remains one of Trump's priorities.
Trump has said that every strike on an alleged drug boat "saves 25,00 American lives" but US officials have provided no evidence that any of the vessels they struck carried fentanyl, which is 50 times as powerful as heroin and much deadlier than cocaine.
Counternarcotics experts have pointed out that neither Colombia nor Venezuela produce fentanyl and have questioned the Trump administration's focus on those countries.
The executive order Trump signed on Monday classifying fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction" suggests he may be engaging in a twin-track approach, continuing to target boats suspected of carrying cocaine as well as expanding his administration's powers to fight fentanyl-smuggling.
However, the move has been met with criticism by Mexico's President, Claudia Sheinbaum.
The Mexican leader insisted that the causes of drug use must be addressed.
She added that fentanyl was also used legally in hospitals for pain relief and questioned what the unintended effects of the classification of fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction would be.

PA MediaPatients are being told to expect disruption as doctors start their five-day strike in England, with NHS bosses saying they are struggling to keep as many services going as they have done in recent walkouts.
NHS England said with a wave of flu placing pressure on hospitals, non-urgent services would be affected by the strike which begins at 07:00 Wednesday.
This is the 14th walkout by resident doctors, the new name for junior doctors, in the long-running pay dispute.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the strike had been timed to inflict most damage on the NHS and put patients at risk, but the British Medical Association said it would work with NHS bosses to ensure patient safety.
The strike is being held after the two sides held last-minute talks on Tuesday afternoon.
The talks were described as "constructive" by the government, but not enough progress had been made to call off the strike.
Resident doctors represent nearly half of the doctors working in the NHS. They will walk out of both emergency and non-urgent care with senior doctors drafted in to provide cover.
In the two most recent strikes – in July and November – NHS England said it was able to keep the majority of non-urgent operations and treatments, such as hip and knee replacements, going.
But NHS England said it expected more disruption this time. Concern has also been expressed that hospitals may struggle to discharge patients in time for Christmas as the doctors who are working concentrate on providing strike cover.
Medical director Prof Meghana Pandit said: "These strikes come at an immensely challenging time for the NHS, with record numbers of patients in hospital with flu for this time of year.
"Staff will come together as they always do, going above and beyond to provide safe care for patients and limit disruption.
"But sadly more patients are likely to feel the impact of this round of strikes than in the previous two – and staff who are covering will not get the Christmas break they deserve with their families."
Streeting added: "We have been working right up to today to try and avert these strike actions.
"Everyone knows the period leading up to Christmas and into the New Year are always the busiest for the NHS. With super flu, this year is harder.
"And that double whammy of flu plus strikes means that there is an additional burden now on other NHS staff."
NHS England said GP practices will continue to be open and urgent and emergency care services will be available for those who need them.
But even then there is likely to be some disruption. Cheltenham General Hospital's emergency department is closing for emergencies during the strike - it will remain open for minor injuries - with patients advised to use nearby Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
NHS England said the public should use 111 online as the first port of call for urgent, but not life-threatening issues during the strike.
Patients who need emergency medical care should continue to use 999 or come forward to A&E as normal, it added.
The strike is going ahead despite a new offer from the government being made last week, which included increasing the number of speciality training posts and covering out-of-pocket expenses like exam fees.
The speciality training jobs, which resident doctors start in year three of their training after completing medical school, have become highly competitive.
This year 30,000 applicants went for 10,000 jobs – although some of the applicants were doctors from abroad.
Dr Tom Twentyman is one of those who lost out after trying to secure an emergency medicine post. He says finding a job is an "absolute nightmare".
Since then he has been struggling to find work, juggling a handful of locum shifts each month at the same time as applying for more than 40 short-term contracts at hospitals across the country – one of which he now secured.
But this will not count towards his training, so he will now look to reapply next year.
"Some of the job adverts were coming down within two hours of going up after they received 650 applications, which is clearly an enormous number to shortlist," he says.
On Monday the BMA announced its members had voted to continue with the strike – effectively rejecting the offer in the process – after the union agreed to hold an online poll of members.
BMA resident doctor leader Dr Jack Fletcher described it as a "resounding response" and said the government needed to go further on jobs as well as pay.
Streeting has maintained he will not discuss pay as doctors have received pay rises totalling nearly 30% over the past three years.
The BMA argues that, despite the pay rises, resident doctors' pay is still a fifth lower than it was in 2008, once inflation is taken into account.
Dr Fletcher added: "It is well past the time for ministers to come up with a genuinely long-term plan.
"If they can simply provide a clear route to responsibly raise pay over a number of years and enough genuinely new jobs instead of recycled ones, then there need not be any more strikes for the remainder of this government."
But the BMA said it was committed to ensuring patient safety.
"We will be in close contact with NHS England throughout the strikes to address safety concerns if they arise," the union added.
