Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone at a special event on Sept. 10, sources told AllThingsD. 多位消息人士对《华尔街日报》“AllThingsD”栏目说，预计苹果公司(Apple)将在9月10日举行的一个特别活动中发布新款iPhone。 The launch comes at an important time for Apple, which continues to make a lot of money from the iPhone but has seen its global market share dip amid a growing wave of lower-cost Android devices as well as an intense battle with archrival Samsung. 新款手机的发布恰逢对苹果来说一个重要的时刻。iPhone仍很赚钱，但由于价格更低的安卓(Android)设备不断涌现，以及与主要竞争对手三星(Samsung)之间的激战，苹果在全球市场的份额一直在下滑。 One of the key questions is whether Apple adopts a new tactic to address the mid-range of the smartphone market. Historically, Apple has gone after those customers by offering its year-old and two-year-old models for $100 and $200 less than a new iPhone. However, there has been a great deal of talk that the company will debut a new lower-cost iPhone alongside whatever update it has in store for the current iPhone 5. 主要问题之一是，苹果是否将采取一种新的策略，以便吸引中端智能手机市场的消费者。以往，苹果上市一年和两年的机型会比刚推出时分别降价100和200美元，该公司借此争取中端市场用户。不过，据说该公司将推出一款价格更低的新iPhone，将具备目前iPhone 5所拥有的各种功能上的升级。 |
