        　　When the company debuted the latest iPad in March, adding Pencil support
and a faster processor, it whittled down the gap between the entry-level tablet
and its Pro siblings. Starting at $329 (￡319 or AU$469), the base iPad now
offers many of the premium features that were previously exclusive to the
considerably more expensive10.5-inch Pro and 12.9-inch Pro.
        　　苹果公司今年3月份发布了配置有苹果铅笔和更快处理器的最新版iPad，这使得入门级平板与她的同代职业版本之间的差距越来越小。3月发布的新版iPad起价329美元(约合319欧元或469澳元)，新版iPad标配版拥有了许多之前独属于更昂贵的10.5英寸Pro和12.9英寸Pro的高级配置。
        　　For the moment, those Pro models still retain exclusive rights to the
superior Retina display and Smart Connector, which lets you add a snap-on
keyboard. But a chorus of pundits and supply chain sources now suggest that
Apple will look to redefine the iPad Pro line -- and justify its higher price --
with a big-time update before the end of 2018.
        　　当前那些Pro型号依然享有对于高级Retina显示器和可以连接按键式键盘的智能连接器的专有权。但权威人士和供应链消息源都表示苹果将会重新定义iPad
Pro系列，也为了使其高价显得合理，他们将于2018年底前给iPad Pro来一次重大的升级。
        　　Though Apple hasn’t announced anything officially (or responded to repeated
inquiries), there’s growing buzz about new Pro models surfacing later this year.
Here’s what we’ve heard so far.
        　　尽管对此苹果还没有官宣(或对一再的询问做出答复)，关于新型号的Pro将于今年晚些时候面市的传闻却越来越多。下面是目前我们搜集的传闻。
        　　Rumor: A new iPad Pro this fall
        　　传闻一：今年秋季发布新版iPad Pro
        　　Bloomberg has reported that Apple is prepping at least one new iPad Pro for
the second half of 2018, though we expect to see refreshes of both the 10.5- and
12.9-inch models. When Apple failed to show any new hardware at its WWDC
developer’s conference in June, speculation immediately shifted to the
September-October timeframe as the next best opportunity for a debut.
        　　据彭博社报道，苹果公司2018下半年将至少发布一款新版iPad
Pro,尽管我们期待见到10.5和12.9英寸的型号双双更新迭代。苹果公司在今年6月份的WWDC开发者大会上没有推出新款产品，随之外界普遍猜测对苹果来说下次发布新品的最好时机将位于9至10月份之间。
        　　There are precedents. Apple could bring out a new iPad Pro alongside the
three new iPhones we expect to see in September. The iPad Mini 4, for instance,
debuted in September 2015 alongside that year’s iPhones. Or it could happen a
few weeks later -- the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 were both introduced in a
standalone Mac/iPad event in October 2014. (Sure, November is also a
possibility, but Apple has never debuted a new iPad in December.)
        　　苹果公司可能会在9月与我们期待见到的三款新iPhone一起推出一款新iPad Pro。这种猜测有先例可循：例如，2015年9月发布的iPad
Mini4就是伴随着当年的iPhone一起的。或者也可能于稍晚些的几周后发布新版iPad--iPad Air 2和iPad Mini
3于2014年10月在独立的Mac / iPad活动中推出。(当然，新版iPad也可能在11月发布，但苹果此前从未在12月份推出过新款iPad。)
        　　Rumor: Taking design cues from the iPhone X
        　　传闻二：新款iPad的设计将是iPhoneX的延伸
        　　Mac Otakara and 9to5Mac are reporting that the forthcoming iPad Pros will
benefit from a major redesign and integrate several new features that first
appeared on the iPhone X last year. An iPad battery usage icon found in Apple’s
iOS 12 beta suggests that the upcoming models will look quite a bit different --
with no Home button, slimmer bezels, rounded corners and a bigger display. And
the iPhone X’s rounded corners may also find their way onto the next iPad Pro,
according to 9to5Mac.com.
        　　Mac Otakara和9to5Mac网报道称即将发布的新款iPad Pro将经历大规模的重新设计，并整合了去年首次出现在iPhone
X上的几项新功能。在Apple的iOS 12测试版中找到的iPad电池使用图标显示即将推出的型号看起来将会有很大的变化 -
没有Home键，更小的边框，圆角和更大的显示屏。根据9to5Mac.com的说法，iPhone X的圆角也可能应用于下一代iPad Pro。
        　　Rumor: Face ID is coming
        　　传闻三：面部识别技术将到来
        　　Those icons also show no notch -- despite reports by Bloomberg that the
iPhone X’s facial recognition system, Face ID, may find its way into future
iPads. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also suggested that the TrueDepth camera array
is coming in this next generation. And the thought is that the iPad would enough
bezel real estate that Apple could implement the technology without the type of
notch found on the iPhone X.
        　　尽管彭博社报道说iPhone X的面部识别系统Face
ID可能会应用于未来的iPad，这些图标也显示没有缺陷。分析师郭智明也表示下一代iPad将配置深度真相(TrueDepth)相机阵列。而且分析人士认为，苹果公司在新款iPad上就会实现面部识别技术的完整配置，而不会像在iPhone
X上找到缺陷。

        　　Rumor: 3.5mm headphone jack going away
        　　传闻四：3.5mm耳机插口将取消
        　　Mac Otakara reports that the forthcoming iPad Pro -- at least the 10.5-inch
model -- will dispense with the traditional headphone jack in favor of Apple’s
own Lightning Connector.
        　　据Mac Otakara报道，即将面市的新款iPad
Pro--型号至少是10.5英寸--将不再配置传统的耳机插口，而是配置苹果自己的闪电连接器。
        　　Rumor: Faster charging
        　　传闻五：充电更快
        　　DigiTimes has reported that the next iPad Pro will come with an 18-watt
USB-C power adapter. The current-generation Pro models currently support the
18-watt spec, which can reduce charging time by 50 percent, but Apple ships them
with a 10-12-watt adapter.
        　　据《数字时代》(DigiTimes)报道，下一代iPad
Pro将配置一个18瓦USB-C接口的充电器。目前的Pro型号也支持18瓦充电器，可以将充电时间缩短50%，但苹果公司为它们配备了10-12瓦的充电器。
        　　Don’t expect iPhone-style wireless charging, though. No one seriously
expects the metallic rear panel in the iPad to go away, and that more or less
prevents inductive charging.
        　　然而，别再期待什么iPhone特色的无线充电了。没人真的希望iPad的金属被面板会消失，那样也会或多或少地妨碍感应充电。
        　　Likely: Performance bumps
        　　很可能会有性能上的颠覆
        　　The new entry-level iPad is powered by the 2016-era A10 processor, putting
it just a half-step behind the iPad Pros, which run the A10X. But considering
that the 2017 iPhones run the A11, and the presumed 2018 iPhones will have an
A12, it only makes sense that newer iPad Pros would have an A11 or A11X, at the
very least. Bloomberg suggested back in November that the next iPads would have
faster processors and GPUs, which have become a key component of almost every
upgrade cycle.
        　　新款入门级iPad采用2016款A10处理器，仅落后于运行A10X的iPad专业版半步。但考虑到2017款iPhone运行A11，人们设想中的2018款iPhone将拥有A12，那么新款iPad专业版至少会拥有A11或A11X才有意义。彭博社在去年11月份的报道暗示，下一代iPad将拥有更快的处理器和GPU，这也几乎已成为每个升级周期的关键指标。
        　　Rumor: Probably no OLED display
        　　传闻六：或许并没有OLED显示屏
        　　One iPhone X feature that is unlikely to pop up in an iPad anytime in 2018
is an OLED display, according to Bloomberg. Not because Apple wouldn’t like to
use them. It’s that suppliers simply don’t yet have the bandwidth to produce
them at the size and cost in the massive numbers required to address Apple’s
massive market. (That’s the same reason the laptops with OLED screens are still
few and far between.)
        　　据彭博社报道，IPhoneX其中一个特点将不会沿用到任何一个2018款的iPad上--OLED显示屏。并不是苹果公司不想用。而是苹果的供应商们难以满足庞大的苹果产品市场对于OLED显示屏尺寸和成本的需求。(这跟配置了OLED显示屏的笔记本电脑少之又少的原因是一样的。)
        　　Rumor: Peace out, iPad Mini
        　　传闻七：再见了，iPad Mini。
        　　Speaking of iPhones: With September’s iPhone line rumored to include larger
versions of the iPhone X -- possibly a 6.5-inch model -- it feels like the iPad
Mini line just isn’t long for this world. Apart from a minor storage capacity
upgrade in June 2017, the current Mini 4, with its 7.9-inch screen, hasn’t been
updated since its introduction in 2015. But it’s more expensive than the
9.7-inch iPad because Apple sells only a 128GB version. Given that the new
9.7-incher delivers considerably more -- i.e. a bigger screen, Pencil support
and better performance -- at a lower price, it’s hard to envision that much
demand remains for the Mini.
        　　说到iPhone：据传9月推出的iPhone系列包括iPhone X的更大版本 - 可能是6.5英寸型号 - 感觉就像iPad
Mini系列将不再量产了一样。
除了2017年6月的小规模的存储容量升级外，目前Mini4及其7.9英寸屏幕自2015年推出以来尚未更新迭代。但它比9.7英寸iPad更昂贵，因为苹果仅售128GB版。
鉴于新的9.7英寸的iPad功能更强大 - 即更大的屏幕，支持苹果铅笔和更好的性能 - 价格更低，对Mini仍保有的大量需求将是难以想象的。
