Microsoft Outpaces Apple, Introduces 'Designer' AI Image Generation Tool For The iPhone
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has launched its AI image generation tool, Microsoft Designer, as a free iOS app, outpacing Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as the world waits for the iPhone maker to introduce Apple Intelligence.
微軟（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）已經推出了其AI圖像生成工具Microsoft Designer，並作爲一個免費的iOS應用程序，趕超了蘋果公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL），因爲全世界都在等待iPhone製造商推出Apple Intelligence。
What Happened: Microsoft Designer is now available to all users across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows. It was in preview for nearly a year and tested on a website using Microsoft Edge and other browsers.
What Happened: Microsoft Designer現已在多個平台上提供給所有用戶使用，包括iOS，Android和Windows。它在網站上進行了測試，使用了Microsoft Edge和其他瀏覽器進行了預覽，測試了將近一年。
"A blank canvas no longer has to be intimidating—just describe what you want to see, and Designer can create it for you. And if you're not sure what that is, Designer can help you get started," the company said while launching.
“一個空白的畫布不再讓人望而生畏，只需描述你想要看到什麼，Designer就可以爲你創建出來。如果你不確定要看什麼，Designer可以幫助你開始，”該公司在發佈時表示。
The app enables users to generate images using text prompts and provides templates for creating social media images and greeting cards. It also includes an avatar creation tool and options to edit existing images, including background and object removal or alteration.
該應用程序可以讓用戶使用文本提示生成圖像，並提供創建社交媒體圖像和賀卡的模板。它還包括一個頭像創建工具和編輯現有圖像的選項，包括背景和對象的刪除或修改。

Although the app is free, it restricts users to 15 "boosts" per day, which are used when AI-based changes are made to images. Users can upgrade to a $20 Copilot Pro subscription for 100 boosts per day.
儘管該應用程序是免費的，但它限制用戶每天使用15次“_boosts”，當基於AI進行圖像更改時使用。用戶可以升級到20美元的Copilot Pro訂閱，每天可獲得100個Boosts。
Why It Matters: The launch of Microsoft Designer comes ahead of the expected release of Apple Intelligence, Apple's own generative AI image tool, slated for release this fall.
爲什麼它很重要：Microsoft Designer的推出預示着蘋果即將發佈自己的生成式AI圖像工具Apple Intelligence，定於今年秋季發佈。
Earlier this year, Microsoft expressed concerns over an agreement between OpenAI and Apple, fearing it could impact Microsoft's product ambitions. In July, Microsoft decided to relinquish its board observer position at OpenAI.
今年早些時候，微軟對OpenAI與蘋果之間的協議表示擔憂，擔心其可能影響微軟的產品抱負。7月，微軟決定放棄在OpenAI的董事會觀察員職位。
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities' Daniel Ives predicted a "monumental boost" to Microsoft's valuation due to the AI revolution, potentially adding a whopping $1 trillion to its market cap.
與此同時，Wedbush證券的Daniel Ives預測，在AI革命的推動下，微軟的估值將獲得“巨大的提升”，可能將其市值增加1萬億美元。
