华尔街日报》记者Ian Sherr、Eva Dou和Lorraine Luk援引知情人士的话报道称,苹果(Apple)正在评估一个提供屏幕尺寸在4.8英寸至6英寸之间的iPhone的计划。这个区间的高端可以说是是一个相当大的尺寸,三星(Samsung) Galaxy S4屏幕的对角线长度是5英寸。Mega手机的屏幕尺寸达到6.3英寸,这款手机被认为提高了划分为智能手机的尺寸界线。


Apple is evaluating a plan to offer iPhones with screen sizes ranging from 4.8 inches t o as high as 6 inches, the Journal's Ian Sherr, Eva Dou and Lorraine Luk report, citing people familiar with the matter.


苹果的iPhone 5屏幕尺寸为4英寸,预计这也会是该公司即将于下周推出的两款新iPhone的屏幕尺寸。苹果将于何时采用一个(或者多个)新尺寸是每个人都在问的问题。苹果在做出选择前通常都会对不同的设备和配置进行测试,所以最终选定的尺寸可能远没有那么大,或者根本不会有改变。


The upper end of that range would be huge -- Samsung's Galaxy S4's screen has a diagonal length of 5 inches. The Mega, which pushes the boundaries of what can be considered a smartphone, clocks in with a screen size of 6.3 inches.


苹果可能会给iPhone设计几个固定的尺寸,就像过去给iPad和iPod设计尺寸时那样。目前iPod有四个不同尺寸,从Classic(记得那上面的控制盘吗?)到类似火柴盒的Shuffle。


Apple's latest, the iPhone 5, has a 4-inch screen, and that's what is expected of the pair of new phones slated to be unveiled next week. When Apple will pull the trigger on a new size (or sizes) is anyone's question. The company often tests different devices and configurations before choosing a course, so it could settle on a much smaller phone, or not budge at all.


对手机来说,到底多大才算太大?如果尺寸超过了衣兜的大小,就会造成不便。点击查看这个图表,表中列出了iPhone、Galaxy和其他手机的尺寸对比。


It's likely Apple will iterate on the size, as it has done in the past with the iPad and the iPod. The iPod, at this point, has four different sizes ranging from the Classic (remember the wheel?) to the matchbook-like Shuffle.




How big a phone is too big? When a phone can't fit in a pocket, that's trouble. Check out this graphic to see how the iPhone, Galaxy and other phones stack up against each other.
