9月21日发售？苹果iPhone 5上市时间被曝光

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.
屏幕将在之前3.5英寸的基础上拓宽，但也许比一些苹果粉丝设想的要小，他们原先认为新机型的屏幕将和三星 Galaxy III和HTC One X一样增大到4.8英寸。

The source was an unnamed Chinese accessory manufacturer, who claimed to have been given the date directly from Apple.So far, leaks from within Apple have suggested an October launch.
这个消息来源于位于中国的苹果配件生产商，他声称直接从苹果公司得到了这个具体日期。之前，有苹果公司内部透露的消息称iPhone 5将在十月份发售。

The new iPhone will have an even thinner screen thanks to advances in LCD manufacturing, according to reports.
iPhone 5 手机将有一个比原先更薄的屏幕，这要归功于LCD制造技术上的进步。

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经预测了30针接口的消失，因为宽达21毫米的接口占用了一大块空间，特别是目前最新的microUSB技术已经能在更小的空间里提供更多的能量了。

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.
这些博主们表示一个更小的接口可以给苹果公司在新产品设计上更多的空间，或者可以适用一块更大的电池，或者可以简单地用来制造一个体积小一点的产品。
