9月21日發售？蘋果iPhone 5上市時間被曝光大綱

The iPhone 5 will ship to eager Apple fans on Friday, September 21, according to sources close to Apple.
據與蘋果公司關係密切的知情人爆料，熱情的蘋果粉絲們將能夠在2012年9月21日星期五拿到iPhone 5 手機。

A Chinese source leaked the release date to a French website called App4Phone yesterday, providing the specific date.
一位中國消息靈通人士7月23日將這個特殊的發售日期透露給了一家名叫App4Phone 的法國網站。

The source also confirmed the new controversial port on the base of the phone, which will make older accessories obsolete unless a separate adapter is purchased.
這位消息人士同時證實了新機型將使用新接口，這將使以前型號iPhone的許多附件失效，除非老用戶購買一個適配器。

We all know the phone as the 'iPhone 5', unless Apple decides on another moniker like it did with the iPad 3, which it officially called 'the new iPad'.
我們目前知道新的iPhone手機是“iPhone 5”，除非蘋果公司採用另一個新的名字，就比如它將第三代iPad命名爲“the new iPad”。

Other revelations include the headphone socket moving from the top-left of the phone to the bottom-left of the phone, and that the screen will be 3.75 inches.
其他的爆料包括耳機插口從手機的頂部左側移到了底部左側，同時屏幕增大爲3.75英寸。This is an increase on the 3.5" of previous models, but perhaps smaller than some fans might like, after being introduced to the 4.8" screens of models like the Samsung Galaxy III or the HTC One X.
屏幕將在之前3.5英寸的基礎上拓寬，但也許比一些蘋果粉絲設想的要小，他們原先認爲新機型的屏幕將和三星 Galaxy III和HTC One X一樣增大到4.8英寸。

The source was an unnamed Chinese accessory manufacturer, who claimed to have been given the date directly from far, leaks from within Apple have suggested an October launch.
這個消息來源於位於中國的蘋果配件生產商，他聲稱直接從蘋果公司得到了這個具體日期。之前，有蘋果公司內部透露的消息稱iPhone 5將在十月份發售。

The new iPhone will have an even thinner screen thanks to advances in LCD manufacturing, according to reports.
iPhone 5 手機將有一個比原先更薄的屏幕，這要歸功於LCD製造技術上的進步。

Tech blogs have long speculated on the demise of the 30-pin connector, which at 21 mm wide takes up a chunk of space, especially as the latest technologies such as microUSB offer more power in less space.
之前有很多科技博客已經預測了30針接口的消失，因爲寬達21毫米的接口占用了一大塊空間，特別是目前最新的microUSB技術已經能在更小的空間裏提供更多的能量了。

They say that a smaller connector would give Apple more scope for new product designs or a bigger battery, or simply to make ever smaller products.
這些博主們表示一個更小的接口可以給蘋果公司在新產品設計上更多的空間，或者可以適用一塊更大的電池，或者可以簡單地用來製造一個體積小一點的產品。
