新华网8月12日电 据科技博客Gizmodo援引科技网站AllThingsD消息,苹果将于9月10日揭开新一代iPhone神秘的面纱。
这一天对苹果来说的确是个大日子—将有不止一款iPhone上市。
有关苹果的传言很多,但都只是传言而已。如果你想得到任何有关苹果总部的消息,AllThingsD是一个可靠的信息来源。不过,即使新品发布的日期已经确定,还有很多疑问没有得到解答,比如届时发布的新品有哪些?我们不妨来进行一下前瞻:
iPhone 5S
苹果公司,尤其是蒂姆·库克最擅长的就是从已上市产品上压榨哪怕是最后一丁点的新功能。也就是说,其他公司每隔一年或更长时间更新产品设计以及制造工艺,苹果公司iPhone的基本外形几乎至少要沿用两代产品,比如iPhone 3G和3GS,iPhone 4和4S。
依照这种情形,即将推出的新品应该是一款内部功能更强大、外部造型更关键的iPhone 5,很多泄露的有关新iPhone的信息充分证明了这一推论。对于广大iPhone买家来说,最大的变化莫过于iOS 7操作系统,不过这一新系统也没有什么新鲜劲了,因为基本上果粉们已经对其了如指掌了。
iPhone 5c

有关苹果公司要推出一款廉价iPhone的传言已经沸沸扬扬地传了两年了,《华尔街日报》是这一消息的主要推手之一。不过,闹了这么久,就在相当便宜的安卓手机真正要吞噬苹果市场份额(尤其是在关键的亚洲市场)的时候,iPhone 5c是时候登场了。

对于这款廉价iPhone,我们的推测是:塑料外壳,会很便宜,但也不会便宜到那里去;估计会有一系列彩色外壳,据马丁-海耶克推断,有关iPhone 5c的内部部件很少有可靠的消息。不过,再次根据苹果精明的供应手段推测,它的内部配置最起码和4S是一个档次的吧。
还有新产品?
对于苹果公司的新品推出计划,还有很多传言:什么苹果手表iWatch(这个未来可以有!)啦,苹果电视(这个估计不太可能!),升级版的iPad和iPad mini等等。
苹果手表iWatch似乎势在必行,要在短短四周内推出全新的产品好像不太可能。至于说苹果高清电视,就更不可能了,因为苹果还未与内容供应商敲定任何有意义的协议,这个估计要等到花都谢了吧。
至于说iPad和iPad mini,它们的发布周期难以捉摸,估计明年开春发布新品,现在就推出也不是没有可能。如果它们都在9月10号上市,别期望太高,估计这两款产品的升级版没什么提高。
话又说回来,苹果公司推出新款iPhone已经足够了—尤其是如果传言是真的话,史无前例地一次推出俩款iPhone。

Report: Apple"s Next iPhone(s?) Coming September 10th
According to a report from AllThingsD, Apple will be taking the lid off of its new iPhone a month from today, on September 10th. Save the date for what should be a big day—especially if it"s not the only debut Apple"s got up its sleeve.
While Apple rumors are as Apple rumors does, AllThingsD is as reliable a source as you"re going to get outside of Cupertino itself. But even if the date is certain, plenty of questions remain as to what, exactly, we"ll see there. Here"s our best bet for now。
iPhone 5S
If there"s one thing Apple—and Tim Cook, in particular—is good at, it"s squeezing every last ounce of utility out of the supply chain. That means that while other companies might switch up design (and with it, manufacturing processes) every year or more, Apple"s generally content to stick with the same basic shape for at least two generations. Think 3G/3GS, 4/4S.
That means the headliner should basically be an iPhone 5 with better internals and a few key embellishments, and rumored leaked parts have so far backed that theory up. The biggest change for the vast majority of iPhone buyers will be iOS 7, which we already know pretty much everything about.
iPhone 5c
Rumors of a "budget" iPhone have been escalating for the last two years; the WSJ has been one of its major proponents. But it didn"t seem likely until more recently, when cheaper Android phones began to gobble up Apple"s marketshare in earnest (particularly in the crucial Asian market). Enter the iPhone 5c.
SExpand
Here"s what we think we know about the budget iPhone: It will have a plastic shell. It will be cheap, but maybe not as cheap as you think. And it might come in a wonderful array of colors. As our friend Martin Hajek speculates:
As for internals, there are fewer credible sources. But it seems likely—given, again, Apple"s supply chain cleverness—that it will have the same guts as at least an iPhone 4S.
One More Thing?
There are plenty of rumored Apple projects out there; an iWatch (someday!), a television (probably not!), an updated iPad and iPad mini. Should we anticipate seeing one of them in a month? Anything could happen—but these probably won"t.
While an iWatch seems inevitable, it seems unlikely that Apple is far enough along in its development to have a product ready to announce in four short weeks. As for an Apple HDTV, it"s far from likely that such a product will ever exist, but it certainly won"t happen before Apple locks in meaningful deals with content providers—something it hasn"t yet come close to.
As for the iPad and iPad mini, their release cycles have gotten unpredictable enough that they could show up now or next spring. If they do come along on September 10th, don"t expect much more than a spec bump for either.
Still though, the iPhones should be more than enough—especially if there really is, for the first time, more than one of them.
