最壞情況下，5G iPhone可能會推遲到2021年

Although there were already signs that Apple’s supplies would be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, the general presumption has been that the company would push through with its scheduled product launch even if it meant starting off with limited supplies. Now the word from insiders in Apple’s supply chain isn’t exactly hopeful. Apple’s first 5G-capable iPhone could be delayed beyond its initial September launch date and could extend even to 2021 at the extreme latest.

盡管已經(jīng)有跡象表明，蘋果的供應將受到COVID-19爆發(fā)的影響，但普遍的推測是，該公司將按計劃推出產(chǎn)品，即使這意味著一開始供應有限?，F(xiàn)在來自蘋果供應鏈內部的消息并不樂觀。蘋果公司(Apple)首款支持5g功能的iPhone可能會推遲到9月的最初發(fā)布日期之后，最晚可能會延至2021年。

It’s pretty understandable if Apple holds off on launching a 5G iPhone given the current global situation. Considering it’s already late to the 5G party, it has to make sure that its launch will be a huge success. Buying a 5G smartphone might not be at the top of most people’s priorities for now, though.

鑒于目前的全球形勢，蘋果推遲發(fā)布5G iPhone是可以理解的。考慮到它在5G聚會上已經(jīng)晚了，它必須確保它的推出將是一個巨大的成功。不過，目前購買一部5G智能手機可能不是大多數(shù)人的首要任務。

It’s not like Apple was able to actually finish that 5G iPhone due to limitations on travel. It had to delay even the development of prototypes which required face-to-face meetings with suppliers and hands-on testing. It could still happen but not before travel bans and quarantines are lifted.

由于旅行限制，蘋果并不能真正完成5G版iPhone。它甚至不得不推遲原型的開發(fā)，這需要與供應商進行面對面的會談和實際測試。在旅行禁令和隔離措施取消之前，這種情況仍有可能發(fā)生。

Suppliers in China havineve reportedly also gotten notified of changes in the production schedule. They are told to start shipping in large volumes by August instead of the usual June schedule. This inevitably means that production for the iPhones will start late as well.

據(jù)報道，中國的供應商也收到了生產(chǎn)計劃變更的通知。他們被告知在8月前開始大量發(fā)貨，而不是以往的6月時間表。這必然意味著iphone的生產(chǎn)也將推遲。

The delay could just be a month or two but it could even extend to 2021, depending on the global situation in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, a delay in Apple products doesn’t only affect the company itself but all other production companies connected to it as well as, of course, their workers.

推遲的時間可能只有一兩個月，但根據(jù)未來幾周的全球形勢，甚至可能延長到2021年。不幸的是，蘋果產(chǎn)品的延遲不僅影響到公司本身，還會影響到所有其他相關的生產(chǎn)公司，當然還有他們的員工。
