元器件交易网讯 6月24日消息，据彭博社援引熟悉苹果供应链的知情人士的消息，苹果下一代iPhone 将在7月量产，其中4.7英寸屏版将在9月上市。而先前传闻推迟一个月发布的5.5英寸版iPhone也将同时发布。

　　此前有报道称苹果代工合作伙伴富士康为应对iPhone 6的量产，将新招10万员工。而作为苹果第二代工合作伙伴的和硕也将负责iPhone 6 30%的产能。

　　据传闻，下一代iPhone相比当前的iPhone，将更圆润更轻薄。其模型谍照和概念图已经在网上盛传数月。从流露出的谍照可以看出，下一代iPhone外形与iPad mini及最新的iPad Air相似，只是边框更柔和、圆润。

　　最后，彭博社提到苹果正研究可弯曲屏和可能检测多层次压力的传感器。这项显示技术，被称为2.5D玻璃，可以通过与屏幕边框的压敏元件整合，提供增强的用户界面导航。（元器件交易网刘光明 译）

　　外媒原文如下：

　　Citing sources familiar with Apple's supply chain, Bloombergreports mass production of Apple's much-rumored next-generation iPhone models will begin sometime in July, with a 4.7-inch version available to buy "around September." A larger 5.5-inch model, previously rumored to be a month delayed, may be available at the same time. 

　　The report comes hours after a report out of East Asia said Apple partner manufacturer Foxconn is preparing to hiresome 100,000 workers, as well as expand production lines, to deal with the large volume of iPhone 6 orders. Helping out with assembly will be secondary manufacturer Pegatron, which could be responsible for 30 percent of iPhone 6 production. 

　　As the publication's sources described it, the next-generation iPhone will be "rounder and thinner" than current models, a design consistent with mockups and supposedparts leaks that have been circulating for months. Apple is thought to be applying the design concepts seen in the iPad mini and latest iPad Air models to the upcoming iPhone lineup, with softer edges and curves.

　　Finally, Bloomberg makes mention of Apple research intocurved glass screens and advanced sensors that can detect variable levels of pressure. The display technology, dubbed "2.5-dimension glass," allows manufacturers to taper smartphone screens to meet the surrounding metal bezel, making for higher quality fit and finish. It is unclear if the tech will be included in either iPhone 6 model.
