Apple's got two new main versions of the iPhone this year: the iPhone XS (ten-ess) and XS Max.

苹果本次发布了两款主打新型 iPhone：iPhone XS（10S）及iPhone XS Max。

 

In the past, Apple has released its new iPhone alongside a "Plus" model — since the Max is "bigger than Plus size," Apple's calling it something different.

以往苹果发布新一代 iPhone 时都会一同发布“Plus”版，而此次的 Max 版比Plus版尺寸更大，所以苹果用了不同的命名。

With a 6.5-inch "Super Retina" OLED display, the iPhone XS Max is a giant. It's got a giant-sized price tag to match: The iPhone XS Max starts at $1,099, with 64 GB of storage, and goes all the way up to $1,499 with 512 GB of storage.

iPhone XS Max 配备 6.5 英寸“超视网膜” OLED 屏幕，尺寸相当大，价格也与之匹配：iPhone XS Max 的 64G 版本售价 1099 美元（人民币售价 9599 元）起，512G 版本售价 1499 美元（人民币售价 12799 元）起。

 

The iPhone XS directly replaces last year's iPhone X at the now standard iPhone price of $999 to start. The screen size stays at 5.8 inches, and the phone in general looks very similar to last year's model.

iPhone XS直接取代了去年的 iPhone X （译者注：iPhone X 目前已从官网下架），目前售价 999 美元（人民币售价8699元）起，屏幕尺寸仍为 5.8 英寸，与去年的 iPhone X 外形大致相同。

 

In the camera department, both the XS and XS Max have two 12-megapixel lenses on the back. Apple is touting a new feature called "Smart HDR," which seamlessly blends several different image frames into a single image. In short, the function is intended to make photos look sharper and have more natural light.

iPhone XS 与 XS Max 后置双 1200 万像素摄像头。苹果引入了一种叫做“智能HDR”的功能，能将多帧不同曝光图像无缝合成为一帧图像。简言之，就是使图像看起来更清晰，光线更自然。

 

Another new camera trick is adjustable bokeh — you can snap a photo, and then adjust how blurry or sharp the background of your subject is.

新款摄像头的另一个新功能是可调节光圈，你可以抓拍一张照片，然后调整主题背景的虚化程度。

 

But the biggest upgrade to this year's iPhone model is something you can't see: A new chip. The "A12 Bionic" chip is said to make the iPhone more powerful than ever.

但今年新款 iPhone 的最大升级是你看不到的：新的芯片。据称，A12 仿生芯片是 iPhone 迄今最强大的芯片。

 

Both the iPhone XS and XS Max are offered in three colors: gold, silver, and space gray. Additionally, there are three storage options for each: 64 GB, 256 GB, and — for the first time in an iPhone — 512 GB. Another notable addition: Both the XS and XS Max support a dual-SIM card system, enabling multiple phone numbers and easier international travel.

iPhone XS 和 XS Max 均有金色、银色、深空灰三种颜色，内存有三种选择：64 GB、256 GB 以及首次增加的 512G。另一个引人注目的新功能是：iPhone XS 和 XS Max 都支持双卡双待，支持多个手机号码，方便国际旅行。

 

Pre-orders for both phones are planned to start this week, on Friday, September 14; the phones are otherwise scheduled to be available in stores starting on the following Friday, September 21.

9月14 日本周五起，这两款手机均可接受预订；9 月 21 日下周五起将在商店出售。

 

A third iPhone: The iPhone XR

第三款 iPhone：iPhone XR

 

Remember the iPhone 5C? It was a low-cost, colorful version of the iPhone 5S that used slightly less expensive materials to produce a very nice, less expensive phone.

还记得 iPhone 5C 吗？售价低，外形像 iPhone 5S 的彩色版，使用价格稍低的材料制成，性价比高。

The iPhone XR is kind of that.

iPhone XR 就有点类似于这样。

 

Coming in at $749 to start, it's not exactly inexpensive. It is, however, comparatively less expensive than the iPhone XS ($999). It's also, size-wise, directly in between the new iPhone XS and XS Max — the iPhone XR has a 6.1-inch LCD screen.

iPhone XR 售价在 749 美元（人民币售价 6499 元）起，价格不是很贵，相对来说比 iPhone XS 便宜。XR 的尺寸也很讨喜，介于新款的 iPhone XS 和 XS Max 之间——为 6.1 英寸 LCD 屏。

 

The iPhone XR, internally, is nearly identical to the more expensive XS and XS Max. It's got the same A12 Bionic chip, powered by the same supporting hardware. It's got a similarly powerful battery that should carry most users through at least one day of use.

iPhone XR 的内置基本上和价格更贵的 XS 和 XS Max 相同。它同样配置 A12 仿生芯片，有同样的硬件支持。电池功能基本同样强大，应该能让大多数用户最少使用一天。

 

It loses 3D Touch — perhaps another measure of the LCD screen — and only has one of the two 12 megapixel cameras found on the back of the iPhone XS and XS Max.

它摈弃了 3D Touch 功能——也许是 LCD 屏的另一种衡量标准——而且与iPhone XS 和 XS Max 的后置双 1200 万像素摄像头不同的是，iPhone XR 配置的是单摄像头。

 

But it has one incredible feature that neither the XS or the XS Max has: It comes in yellow.

但是它有 XS 和 XS Max 没有的一大特点：它出了黄色。

The iPhone XR launches a bit later than the XS and XS Max: It's scheduled to arrive in stores on October 26, with pre-orders starting the prior Friday, October 19. The iPhone XR starts at $750 with 64 GB of storage, and goes all the way up to $900 for 256 GB of storage.

iPhone XR 的上市时间比 XS 和 XS Max 稍晚，定于 10 月 26 日在店面出售，于前一周周五 10 月 19 日接受预订。64G 的售价为 750 美元（人民币售价 6499 元）起，256G 的售价为 900 美元（人民币售价 7899 元）起。
