　　&aposThis is our most-forward thinking phoneyet,&apos said Phil Schiller, Apple&aposs head of world-wide marketing at aninvitation-only event at the company&aposs Cupertino, Calif., headquarters.

　　苹果全球营销部门负责人席勒(PhilSchiller)在发布会上说，这是迄今为止我们最超前的产品。此次发布会在位于加州库比蒂诺的苹果总部召开，仅限受邀请的人参加。

　　The new smartphone lineup, while largelyexpected, is one of Apple&aposs most important product rreshes in years.

　　The less-expensive iPhone 5C, whichfeatures a new polycarbonate casing but few other improvements over Apple&apossprevious iPhone 5 model, is &aposmade with all the incredible technology thatcustomers love,&apos said Mr. Schiller. The 5C will come in five colors-green,white, blue, red and yellow-and have a 4-inch retina display and A6 chip.

　　席勒说，较便宜的iPhone 5C是由消费者喜爱的所有令人惊叹的技术制造而成。这款手机采用了新的聚碳酸酯外壳，但与苹果此前的iPhone 5相比改进不多。iPhone 5C将有绿色、白色、蓝色、红色和黄色五种颜色可以选择，这款手机配备了一个4英寸视网膜显示屏和A6芯片。

　　Apple has traditionally discountedprevious-generation phones to $99 with new releases, but this time is droppingthe older iPhone 5 from the lineup.

　　苹果通常在发布新产品时都会将前一代的手机降价至99美元，但此次该公司选择让旧版iPhone5下线。
