本周又有新的关于苹果公司（Apple）的传闻。

    消息自《中国时报》（China Times）。各家媒体报道的细节稍有不同——可能是因为翻译的原因——但据调研公司Jefferies Research称，位于台湾的《中国时报》称，苹果正在开发3款新iPhone：在目前的iPhone 5基础上略有升级的4英寸版iPhone 5S；将于6月推出、名为“数学”的低成本4.8英寸iPhone；以及将于10月底推出、带1200万像素摄像头的高端新款iPhone。

    Jefferies分析师彼得•米瑟克也认为将有三款不同的iPhone机型面世，但在细节方面有不同看法。低价新款4.3英寸iPhone以及多色4英寸iPhone 5S将于六、七月间面市，而新款高端机型将采用4.8英寸大屏，并于10月面市。米瑟克写道：“我们不知道这款手机叫什么名字，但我们认为‘数学’可能是误译，或者只是产品代号。这些有关iPhone的报道仅仅只是近期一连串传闻中的一个。过去几个月，分析师们纷纷大胆亮出了自己的预测。投资银行Piper Jaffray的吉恩•蒙斯特甚至为苹果勾勒出了2013年的产品路线图。他预测万众期待的苹果电视机有望于今年11月上市。（明斯特认为，苹果电视机的尺寸将在42英寸至55英寸之间，售价为1,500到2,000美元。）

    分析师米瑟克所预测的4.8英寸屏iPhone有望为苹果智能手机产品线锦上添花。大家纷纷预测苹果将在今年推出屏幕更大的平板手机（phablets），而调查也显示，消费者对这类大屏幕手机的兴趣正与日俱增。随着高速4G网络的发展，不少用户可能会选择iPhone“平板手机”作为联网设备。对苹果而言，这样的产品显然没什么风险。(财富中文网)

    This one comes courtesy of the China Times.Different outlets are reporting somewhat different details -- likely due to translation -- but according to Jefferies Research, the Taiwan-based outlet claims three new iPhone models are in the works: a modest upgrade to the latest model in the form of a 4-inch iPhone 5S and a lower-cost 4.8-inch iPhone awkwardly dubbed "Math" in June, followed months later by a new high-end model with 12-megapixel camera due out the end of October.

    Peter Misek, an analyst with Jefferies, agrees that three distinct iPhone models are coming down the pike, but disagrees somewhat on the details. A cheap, new 4.3-inch iPhone and multi-color 4-inch iPhone 5S should hit some time in June or July, while the new high-end model should sport the larger 4.8-inch display and hit in October. "We do not know what this phone will be called and think 'Math' might be a mistranslation or a code name," writes Misek.

    These iPhone reports are just the latest in a string of rumors and speculation. Over the last few months, analysts have weighed in. Gene Munster from Piper Jaffray even went so far as to sketch out a product roadmap for 2013 with perhaps Apple's next highly-awaited product, a television set, due out this November. (To briefly recap, such a device could measure between 42- and 55-inches and cost between $1,500 and $2,000.)

    A 4.8-inch iPhone as Misek reports could be a welcome addition to Apple's smartphone line. Between predictions that larger-screened "" will be big this year, and surveys showingincreased customer demand for larger and larger screens, some might consider such an iPhone "phablet" to be the ideal on-the-go device for consuming data over their speedy 4G connections and a safe bet on Apple's part.
