　　2016年苹果秋季发布会：Iphone7如何进化了？

　　Wireless¹ AirPod

　　无线耳机

　　Apple has finally taken the controversial decision to drop the 3.5mm headphone jack² from its latest iPhone. This change is to free up more space to make iPhone 7 slimmer than previous models. The move means that owners of the iPhone 7 will not be able to directly connect any headphones with a traditional 3.5mm plug.

　　最新出品的iPhone 7取消3.5毫米的耳机接口。这一改变是为了腾出更多空间让iPhone 7比前一版本的手机更轻薄。这就意味着，买了iPhone 7就不能直接把3.5毫米有线耳机插进去了。

　　But, the adapter that will allow users to use their normal headphones will be included in the box with each iPhone 7 (left) along with wired headphones that use the lightning connector.

　　但是，每一部iPhone 7的装机设备中（左边）都有一个可以连接传统耳机的转接头可以让用户使用有线耳机。

　　AirPod, the new $159 wireless EarPods have a five-hour battery life - but will be sold separately.

　　AirPod，这款全新的无线耳机售价159美元（约合人民币1059元），一次充电可以使用5小时。这款耳机将单独售卖。

　　APPLE ADDS TWO CAMERAS TO IPHONE 7 PLUS

　　苹果7 PLUS新增至2个摄像头

　　The new iPhone 7 Plus features two rear-facing 12-megapixel cameras. One has a wide-angle lens and is the same as the rear camera found on the new iPhone, with a ?/1.8 aperture,The second camera sports a telephoto lens. The dual-lens setup enables a new 2x optical zoom³ feature.

　　BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL⁴

　　外观和功能

　　这次发布会上，其中一个吸引人的地方是新增两款全新配色——一款是亮黑，另一款是哑光黑，简称“黑色”，两款黑色机型推出后将取代之前几代的灰色。

　　In the hand, while the handsets use the same sizing convention as the 6s models (4.7-inches for the smaller, 5.5-inches for the larger), while the jet black is much more slippery.

　　另外一方面，尽管两款机型都采用和苹果6S系列相同的尺寸（小的4.7英寸，大的5.5英寸），但是亮黑要更光滑。

　　The white plastic antenna⁶ strip are a thing of the past - now Apple has coloured-matched them and relegated⁷ them to the top and bottom edges, creating a cleaner look.
