关于iPhone 5S :9件你需要知道的事情 iPhone 5S: 9 things you need to know 第1件:新款iPhone叫做iPhone 5S It is in fact called the iPhone 5S 对所有人而言,此举没有一点儿惊喜。苹果已经确认新款iPhone被称为iPhone 5S。这是遵循iPhone传统的命名规则,一个数字之后会有一个改进的“S”版。 In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Apple has confirmed that the new iPhone is called the iPhone 5S. That follows the standard iPhone convention of following up a numbered model with an improved "S" version. 第2件:新款色彩丰富 It's a little bit colourful 尽管外形和设计都与iPhone 5一模一样,但是iPhone 5S还是提供了几款新的色彩供君选择。值得一提的是银色、“太空灰”(应该是太空灰吧?)和一款闪亮的炫金版。 While the shape and design is the same as the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5S is available in a few new colours. Specifically silver, 'space grey' (is space grey?) and a bling-tastic gold model. 第3件:升级了摄像头 It's got an improved camera 令人有些惊讶,苹果仍然对iPhone 5S采用800万的摄像头。但是这不能说明苹果没有改进。摄像头增加了15%的活跃感光区域。这一改进让拍摄的照片像素更大,质量更好。 Somewhat surprisingly Apple has stubbornly stuck with 8MP for the camera in the iPhone 5S. That's not to say it's not been improved though. It has a 15 percent larger sensor area which allows for bigger pixels and better quality pictures. 还包括了一款名为“True Tone”的新型闪光灯。旨在让颜色更加自然,同时避免了色温的冲突。苹果公司加入了120fps 的高速视频拍摄功能,用户可以制作慢动作视频。而且iPhone 5S可以拍摄2800万像素的全景照片。 It also includes a new flash called "True Tone" which aims to make colour tones look more natural and avoid clashing colour temperatures. Plus it can shoot slow motion video at 120fps and can stitch together shots to create 28MP panoramas. 第4件:加入了指纹传感器 It's got a fingerprint scanner 指纹识别的消息已经传了有一阵儿,事实证明这是真的。iPhone 5S在home键置入了指纹阅读器,叫做“Touch ID”。这提供了一种方式增强你手机的安全性。当你朋友们的手机经常被卡住,不得不重启解锁的时候,这个功能也让你可以无止境地向他们炫耀。 Rumours of a fingerprint scanner have been buzzing around for a while and it turns out they were true. The iPhone 5S has a fingerprint reader built into the home button, it's called Touch ID and it gives you a new way to keep your handset secure and/or endlessly show off to all your friends who are stuck tapping out a pin to unlock their phones. 指纹识别功能也可以用来验证iTunes的购买行为。操作非常简单,你只要把手指放到home键上——甚至都不需要你按它。 It can also be used to authenticate iTunes purchases and you can operate it simply by placing your finger on the home button - you don't actually need to press it. 第5件:很快就可以买到 It will be out very soon 苹果一向的规律是宣布有新产品后,新产品很快就会上架。iPhone 5S这次也不例外。 经确认,英国和美国将在9月20日开始售卖iPhone 5S。所以如果你想成为第一个入手的人,现在也许该去排队了。 Apple tends to have new products on the shelves shortly after announcing them and the iPhone 5S is no exception. It's been confirmed that the handset will be available to buy in the U.K. and U.S. on September 20, so if you want to be among the first to get your hands on it you might want to start queuing now. 第6件:它并不便宜 It's not cheap: iPhone 5S 16G版会花掉你549英镑(折合649美元,869澳元,无网络锁),32G版售价629英镑(折合749美元,999澳元),64G“钱包空空版”售价709英镑(折合849美元,1,129澳元) The iPhone 5S is going to set you back at least £549 (US$649, AU$869 SIM-free) for 16GB of internal storage. Meanwhile the 32GB version is £629 (US$749, AUD$999) and the 64GB version is a wallet shredding £709 (US$849, AUD$1,129). 第7件:崭新的A7处理器 It's got a shiny new A7 processor 处理器的升级总是相似的,A7处理器也是一样。这是一款64位芯片的处理器。让iPhone 5S优雅地稳坐智能手机头把交椅。芯片大小和A6芯片差不多,但是晶体管的数量是A6的2倍。这会带来什么好处?CPU和图形处理速度会提高1倍。 A processor upgrade was always likely and it's come in the form of the new A7 chip. It's a 64-bit chip, making it the first of its kind to ever grace a smartphone. It's roughly the same size as the A6 chip despite containing around twice as many transistors, the upside of all this? Both its CPU and graphics are twice as fast. 处理器还包含一个新的“M7”动态协作处理器,可以连续测量和跟踪运动数据。这实际上是寻找运动追踪应用市场,它让iPhone 5S可以像Nike FuelBand*一样,当然需要结合应用。 It's also got a new "M7" motion co-processor which continuously measures and keeps track of motion data. Essentially it's gunning for the fitness tracker market, allowing the iPhone 5S to (in combination with apps) take on the likes of the Nike FuelBand. (*编者注:Nike FuelBand ,即Nike+ FuelBand腕带,支持心率、脉搏监控及蓝牙4.0等众多新功能) 第8件:将会搭载iOS7系统 It will ship with iOS 7 对于iOS7系统,我们都很看好,它将会在iPhone 5S(和iPhone 5C)上首次亮相。系统同样增加了新特征,它给界面进行了彻底、必需的大修,更新了一个看起来很陈旧的操作系统。 We've already had a good look at iOS 7 but it's going to make its proper debut on the iPhone 5S (and the iPhone 5C). As well as adding new features it gives the interface a complete and much needed visual overhaul, freshening up an operating system that was in danger of looking stale. 第9件:电池有所提升 Its battery has been given a boost 电池一直是智能手机的软肋,iPhone 5也不例外。所以iPhone 5S的电池有所提升是很好的事情。 Battery life is the bane of most smartphones and the iPhone 5 was no exception so it's nice to see that the battery has been given a boost for the iPhone 5S. 苹果公司没有确认iPhone 5S的电池到底是多大,但是他们公布了一些数据:支持250小时的待机时间,10小时的3G通话,10小时网页浏览,10小时视频,或者40小时音频。这些数据表明,iPhone 5S的电池功能是在iPhone 5电池的基础上有所提升。 While Apple hasn't confirmed how big the iPhone 5S battery is, they have announced some stats for it. It can manage up to 250 hours of standby time, 10 hours of talk time on 3G, 10 hours of internet, 10 hours of video or 40 hours of audio. Almost all of that is up from what the iPhone 5 could |
