Tech geeks, rejoice! After the widespread disappointment last fall when we learned that the new iPhone would only be the 4S (what, we couldn't make the jump all the way to 5?), Apple has finally announced the release of the iPhone 5. As promised, it boasts a new design and can do some new things. And it's shiny. Which is all I really need to know to decide that I want one now. Anyone with me?
科技迷們，歡呼吧！在失望情緒不斷蔓延的去年秋天當我們得知新的iPhone將只是4S的時候（什么，我們不能一下子跳到iphone5？），蘋果公司終于宣布iPhone5的發布。如所承諾的，它擁有全新的設計，可以做一些新的東西。同時它很閃亮。這就是我真正需要知道的全部并以此決定我現在就想要一部。有人跟我一起嗎？
According to CNN, Apple Vice President Philip Schiller introduced the iPhone 5 at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon. "It's an absolute jewel," he said.
據CNN報道，蘋果公司副總裁菲利普•席勒星期三下午在舊金山Yerba Buena中心介紹iPhone 5時， “這是一個絕對的寶石，”他說。
Let's get down to the nitty gritty. What makes the new iPhone bigger (literally) and better than before?
讓我們來看看細節。是什么讓新的iPhone更強大（字面上），比以前更好了呢？
- The iPhone 5 is taller and slimmer (it's 7.6 mm thick) than previous models. It is also 20 percent lighter than the iPhone 4S.
iPhone 5比以前的型號更高，更薄（厚度為7.6毫米）。這是比iPhone4S還輕20％。
- It has a four-inch, 136 x 640 pixel display that will allow you to view five rows of icons at once.
它有一個4英寸，136×640像素的顯示屏，將允許您一次查看五行圖標。
- It will be compatible with 4G LTE wireless networks on carriers including Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint (as well as a number of oversea networks).
它將兼容4G LTE無線網絡的運營商包括Verizon，AT＆T和Sprint（以及一些海外網絡）。
- It is powered by the A6 chip, a new, smaller, and more potent chip.
- 它配備A6芯片，一個新的，更小，更強大的芯片。
- Major changes have been made to the camera and iSight. For those of you who know about technology (unlike me — I like shiny things), here's what CNN says, "The camera now has an 8 megapixel sensor, 3,264 x 2,448 pixel resolution with backside illumination, hybrid IR filter, five-element lens, f2.4 aperture, is 25 percent smaller and can take panoramic photos." In layman's terms, the camera can take better pictures.
攝像頭和iSight已做出了重大改變。對于你們這些了解技術的人（不像我 - 我喜歡閃亮的東西），這里CNN說道，“該相機現在有一個8萬像素的傳感器，3,264 x2,448像素的分辨率，背面照明，混合IR過濾器，五行鏡頭，F2.4光圈，小25％，可以拍攝全景照片。“通俗的說，相機可以拍到更好的圖片。
- The video camera can now shoot in 1080p HD， and FaceTime works over 3G with iOS 6.
現在的攝像機可以拍攝1080P高清，搭載iOS6的FaceTime超過了3G。
- The iPhone 5 will also have a new dock connector, which is being called "Lightning." To use your old cord (which will from here on out be referred to as "Thunderbolt") Apple will release an adaptor.
iPhone5也將有一個新的基座連接器，被稱為“閃電”。為了使用舊線（它將會從此被稱之為“霹靂”）蘋果將推出一個適配器。
- Apple claims the battery will last eight hours during 3G talk time and browsing, 10 hrs for Wi-Fi browsing and video watching, 40 hrs playing music, and 225 hrs on standby.
蘋果公司聲稱，該電池將持續8個小時的3G通話和瀏覽，10個小時的Wi-Fi瀏覽和視頻觀看，40小時音樂播放和225小時待機時間。
- Apple also confirmed that they will be replacing Google Maps with its own Maps app — which will be able to provide turn-by-turn navigation.
蘋果公司也證實了他們將用自己的地圖應用程序取代谷歌地圖，這將能夠提供輪流導航。
- Siri has learned how to post on Facebook.
Siri已經學會了如何在Facebook上發表。
- It will come in black and white.
它將會以黑白色面世。
- The release date is September 21, so mark your calendars!
發布日期是9月21日，在您的日歷上做好標注吧！
And did I mention that it's shiny?
我提到過它很閃亮嗎？
