iPhone7将改变苹果手机最大的缺陷 提升内存!

 When Apple releases the iPhone 7 later this year, the company will reportedly address one of the most common and longstanding complaints about its iconic smartphone: a lack of sufficient storage.

今年晚些时候，苹果公司将发布iPhone 7。据报道，苹果公司会解决标志性智能手机最普遍且长期存在的一个缺陷：内存不足。

Indeed, even as the iPhone has become more advanced and sophisticated with each passing year, the entry-level storage capacity on each successive iPhone model has remained frustratingly¹ stagnant² at 16GB.

虽然iPhone的功能一年比一年先进、一年比一年复杂，但每一代iPhone的起步内存却一直只有16GB，这种停滞不前的内存确实令人沮丧。

iPhone7将改变苹果手机最大的缺陷 提升内存!

For some perspective, consider this: every entry-level iPhone model has featured 16GB of storage since the iPhone 4s, a device released all the way back in 2011. And while 16GB might have been adequate five years ago, it's almost a joke in today's smartphone era where apps can weigh in by the gig and devices can take high-res photos and record storage-hungry video in full 4K.

一些观点认为，我们要考虑到：自从2011年iPhone 4s上市以来，每代iPhone的起步内存都只有16GB。5年前，16GB的内存足够用了；但是现在，16GB的内存简直就是开玩笑。人们手机里的应用程序占据很大空间，高清照片和4K分辨率的超清视频使内存更加不足。

Well, now comes word via IHS Technology analyst³ Kevin Wang that Apple this year will, at long last, up the storage on its entry-level models iPhone from 16GB to 32GB.

现在，根据IHS Technology的中国研究总监王阳透露，今年苹果公司终于决定将iPhone 7的起步内存从16GB升级至32GB了.

Originally reported by MobiPicker, the publication claims that Wang has provided accurate information in the past, thereby⁴ leading them to conclude that this particular rumor⁵ carries more weight than most.

iPhone 7内存升级的传闻最初来自于科技网站MobiPicker。该网站声称，王阳之前已经提供了精确的信息，所以他们才认为这一传闻非常靠谱。

If this rumor pans out, it would represent an interesting about-face from Apple. Remember, it was just about a year ago that Apple executive Phil Schiller sat down with John Gruber and defended Apple's somewhat controversial decision to sell 16GB iPhones.

如果这一传闻是真的，那么苹果公司这一大转变确实很有趣。我们记得仅在一年之前，苹果公司高管菲尔·席勒在约翰·格鲁伯主持的访谈节目中反驳了那些对苹果公司出售16GB手机持有争议的说法。

All that notwithstanding, this is one Apple rumor that we really hope becomes a reality. Interestingly enough, one other iPhone 7 rumor we spotted⁶ just a few weeks ago suggests that Apple will make a 256GB storage option available.

尽管这一切只是关于苹果的一个传闻，但我们仍然希望这最终能够成为现实。非常有趣的是，几周之前，我们还听说了另外一个关于iPhone 7的传闻：苹果公司将推出256GB内存的手机。
