除了Home鍵 iPhone7還將取消耳機插孔
Apple has traditionally overhauled its flagship handset every other year - but that is set to change this year, the Wall Street Journal has claimed.
據《華爾街日報》報道，從傳統上來說，蘋果每隔一年就會對旗艦手機進行大幅修改--但是今年的情況似乎要改變了。It says the tech giant will offer only 'subtle changes' the the handset, including removing the headphone socket and making it slightly slimmer.
據說，這家科技巨頭只會對iPhone進行“微調”，包括取消耳機插孔、讓機身更加纖細一些等。'The biggest planned change in this year's phones is the removal of the headphone plug, which will make the phone thinner and improve its water resistance, said people with that matter,' it claims.
該篇文章報道：“據知情人士透露，今年iPhone計劃中最大的改變是取消耳機插孔，這會使得機身更加纖細，並提高防水性能。”
In a note to clients last week, the WSJ says Credit Suisse analyst Kulbinder Garcha said he expects 'muted' sales increases for the forthcoming models because he expects them to be a 'modest upgrade' to the existing phones.
在上週給客戶的一份報告中，《華爾街日報》表示，瑞士信貸分析師庫賓德·戈查宣稱，他預計即將發售的iPhone 7能夠有“輕微”的銷量增長，因爲他預計到新iPhone在舊版本上只有一些“適度的升級”。Recent leaks of the highly anticipated iPhone 7 suggests also Apple is rethinking its famous home button for this year's handset.
iPhone 7受到萬衆矚目，而最近泄露消息也顯示蘋果正在重新考慮是否要在今年發售的設備中保留其著名的Home鍵。The latest images to surface appear to present this feature not as a button, but as a touch sensitive pad. Sources say the new 'button' will be flush with the body of the smartphone, instead of protruding from the bottom bezel, and users will have to perform tapping actions to activate specific functions.
據最新的圖片顯示，這款手機表面的“Home”將不再是一個按鍵，而是一個觸摸墊。據知情人士透露，這個新的“按鍵”將和機身保持平整，而不會在底部邊框那裏突出來，用戶們將不得不輕敲這個“按鍵”來執行其他命令。The blurry photos were first reported by MobiPicker, who points out the missing metal ring that currently encases the home button.
這些模糊的照片首次曝光是在MobiPicker網上，通過照片可以看到。Home鍵被嵌在一個金屬環裏。In addition to a revamped home button, the images also suggest that the lower and upper areas of the bezel are much narrower than the iPhone 6 family, and the front camera and proximity sensor have both been shuffled around.
除了Home鍵的更新以外，這些照片還顯示，新手機底部和頂部的邊框要比iPhone 6系列窄得多，前置攝像頭和傳感器的位置也被打亂了。This button is perfectly in level with the rest of the bezel and cannot be pressed,' sources told MobiPicker.
知情人士在MobiPicker網站透露道：“Home鍵和邊框的高度完美一致，並且不能夠往下按。”If this feature is implemented, users will have to perform tapping actions to activate functions, like tap and hold for Siri or double tap to see a specific category of apps.
如果這個設計針對被採用到了iPhone 7上的話，手機用戶們將必須通過輕敲的動作來執行其他的手機命令，例如單擊一下可以實現和Siri對話，單擊兩下可以瀏覽特定分組的應用軟件。
