Theday has almost come for Apple afficionados in China. Those who have chosen to wait patiently, that is. Apple has finally set a Mainland release date for its much-anticipated iPad 3. July 20th is the big day, when the iPad will go on sale in Apple’s second-biggest market behind the U.S.
中國蘋果迷們癡心等待的那一天即將到來。在此期間,蘋果迷們選擇了耐心等待。蘋果公司終于公布了蘋果迷們盼望已久的iPad3在中國大陸的上市時間。7月20日就是激動人心的那一天,那天iPad3將在除美國外的全球第二大市場——中國上市銷售。
Thecompany has been slow to release the new iPad in China - it was launched in the U.S. almost four months ago. Apple didn’t offer a reason for the delayed launch date, which comes amid a bitter lawsuit between the company and Proview International over the trademark of Apple’s iconic tablet. A Chinese court said last week that Apple will pay 60 million U.S. dollars to settle the dispute. Apple has said prices for the third-generation iPad in China will range from 499 to 829 U.S. dollars, depending on memory capacity.
iPad3遲遲未在中國上市,但早在4個月以前,iPad3就在美國發布。此前,蘋果公司一直糾纏于和唯冠國際的商標侵權一案,而未就iPad3在中國延遲發布一事做出解釋。中國一家法院上周表示蘋果公司將支付6000萬美元以了解此案。蘋果公司還表示iPad3在中國的銷售價格將因內存容量的不同以499到829美元不等的價格進行銷售。
