Apple Rumor Mill Again Heats Up With Reports Of Big-Screen iPhones传苹果正开发两款大屏iPhon Apple is working on developing a larger-screen iPhone. This time the source is Bloomberg, and the report is that not one, but two such phones are likely in development. Both are slated for release as soon with next year’s iPhone refresh, perhaps in September 2014. The models are believed to contain 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens, which would push Apple into the phablet category for the first time. It’s possible the screens will also incorporate some curvature to the glass, though it’s more likely that would involve the screens partly wrapping around the phone as opposed to anything more radical like the new curved models from Samsung and LG. 每隔几个月,就会有报道说,苹果正在开发一款屏幕尺寸更大的iPhone。这一次,消息来源是彭博社,消息内容是苹果并不只是在开发一款,而是两款大屏手机。这两款手机都将于明年iPhone新品发布——可能是2014年9月——之时推出。据说一款是4.7英寸屏,另一款是5.5英寸屏,这两款手机将首次带领苹果进入平板手机领域。另外,这两款手机的玻璃屏幕将可能包含某种能够弯曲的特性——尽管比较可能的是屏幕部分延伸并包裹手机侧边,而不是诸如三星或LG那种更为激进的整机弯折款式。 If the rumors at last prove true, it will fit with Apple’s continued catering to the high-end customer. While the company doesn’t provide a sales breakdown, there are numerous reports that the new top-end iPhone 5s is doing even better than expected relative to the slightly less expensive 5c model. What Apple would do to the lineup next year if it brought two larger models to market is unclear. Given its faith in the 4-inch screen, it seems certain at least one of those models would carry over and become the free-on-contract phone in the U.S. and the lowest-price phone in unsubsidized markets. Most likely, that would be the 5c. 如果这一传言最终成为现实,那么将符合苹果公司始终致力于迎合高端消费者的一贯努力。尽管该公司并不提供销售明细情况,但有无数报道称,相较于较为廉价的5C款式,最新发布的高端iPhone 5S的销量要高于预期。而如果明年苹果果真向市场推出两款大屏手机的话,其对自己的产品线将会做何种改变目前尚且未知。 In addition to the larger screens, Apple is said to be working on new touch sensors that can detect differing amounts of pressure. The Bloomberg 有鉴于该公司对四英寸屏的信心,现在看来现有手机产品线中至少有一款将继续存在,并成为美国市场上的无合约机,同时也是无补贴市场中的低价机——我认为最有可能的是5C。 Bloomberg report suggests those won’t be ready for next year and, in fact, it seems likely that Apple wouldn’t combine too many major rollouts at once. The reality is the 5s arguably brought too many changes with it to fit the Apple “it just works” mantra cleanly. Between iOS 7, the new 64-bit A7 processor and the TouchID fingerprint sensor, enough was changed that the 5s likely experiences more app crashes and reboots than any iPhone before it. (I say this with some first-hand experience). While the end result might still be acceptable, Apple is likely to be somewhat more cautious in changing out too many of the internals going forward in a single model year, especially if a major redesign of the screen and the externals finally comes to bear. 除更大的屏幕之外,据说苹果还在开发全新的触摸传感器,能够感知到各种不同的压力。上文提到的彭博社报道称,传感器不会在明年就开发完毕,事实上,苹果应该不会一次推出太多新元素。5S就被认为是一次性引入太多改变,甚至有点儿不符合苹果的“能用就好”信条了。5S的iOS 7操作系统、新款64位A7处理器和TouchID指纹传感器——这太多改变导致5S可能是有史以来应用程序崩溃和机器重启次数最多的一款iPhone(我之所以这样说,是有第一手经验做基础的)。尽管最终结果仍然是可以接受的,但在一年内推出太多机器内部升级时,苹果可能还是会采取较为谨慎的态度,特别是在将要推出屏幕和外观的重大改变时。 One unknown is whether Apple’s recent supply deal with GT Advanced Technology to make sapphire crystal would impact these designs. Apple currently uses sapphire to protect the fingerprint sensor and camera lens in the iPhone but there is speculation it might cover the entire screen with it going forward. It’s possible that these new designs will make use of the GT-supplied sapphire but not clear in what way. 有一点尚不清楚:苹果最近和GT Advanced Technology公司达成的蓝宝石生产协议会否影响到上述设计。目前,苹果采用蓝宝石来保护其iPhone手机上的指纹传感器和摄像头,但有人认为,将来蓝宝石材质将覆盖整个屏幕。新设计可能会使用由GT公司供应的蓝宝石,但具体如何还不得而知。 Either way, should the larger iPhone finally materialize, it will be nothing but good news for Apple. The company has been ceding market share even at the high end as some number of customers has chosen Android-based phones due to Apple’s one-size-fits-all offering. With iPad, the company has been hugely successful offering two models and is rumored to be considering a third, larger model for 2014. Similarly, it offers notebook computers in multiple sizes. A three iPhone lineup would likely add billions in incremental revenue to Apple’s fiscal 2015. Further a radical redesign of the iconic iPhone would similarly be well received. While the design has been refined with each generation, iPhone 5s is very much a derivative of the 2010 iPhone 4. Apple, as always, had no comment. But this bears following. 无论如何,如果大屏iPhone最终成为现实,对苹果来说不啻为一个好消息。该公司的市场份额正在节节败退——即便是在高端市场——由于苹果手机始终只有一种尺寸,有一些消费者转而选择了安卓手机。iPad方面,苹果已经在两款机型上取得了巨大成功,有传言说其正考虑在2014年推出第三款更大尺寸的款式。同样的,苹果的笔记本电脑也有各种规格尺寸可供选择。第三个iPhone产品线可能会为苹果2015财年增加客观的营收。此外,对标志性的iPhone进行更为激进的重新设计也将可能受到广泛欢迎。尽管每一代iPhone的设计都有所变化,但iPhone 5S更像是2010年iPhone 4的衍生品。和往常一样,苹果并没有进行置评。我们会进行跟踪报道。
