中国惊现海量iPhone 5保护套

想知道中国智能手机保护套市场有多火爆？请看看科技博客MICGadget提供的视频。MICGadget是一家备受欢迎的英文科技博客，主要关注中国电子市场的动态。     虽然苹果（Apple）目前尚未公开新一代iPhone，甚至没有公布其正式命名，但中国商铺已经开始大张旗鼓地销售五颜六色、设计各异的iPhone 5保护套。但它们的尺寸都一模一样，MICGadget认为这和最近丢失的一台iPhone 5原型机有关。不久前，这款样机在深圳富士康（Foxconn）的一间工厂遗失。     我们必须认真对待对这些保护套。中国的保护套生产厂商竞争激烈，但利润非常稀薄。它们精于业务并不惜采用非法手段获取苹果最为机密的原型机。今年6月，中国一家地方法院判处三人入狱，罪名是合谋窃取商业机密。这三人将iPad 2早期设计信息作价2万元人民币（约合3千美元）出售给了一家保护套生产商，而后者则是为了抢占市场先机。     译者：项航

How crazy is the Chinese market for smartphone cases? Check out the video below produced by MICGadget, our favorite English-language blog covering the Chinese electronics market.     Apple (AAPL) hasn't unveiled or even named its newest iPhone, but Chinese shops are already selling cases for the iPhone 5 in a wide variety of colors and designs. They all have the same dimensions, however, a fact that MICGadget attributes to a single iPhone 5 prototype that went missing recently from a Foxconn factory in Shenzhen.     There is reason to take these designs seriously. Chinese case manufacturers compete vigorously for narrow margins. They know their business and are not beyond using extra-legal means to get their hands on Apple's top secret prototypes. In June a Chinese court sent three people to prison on conspiracy charges for selling an early design for the iPad 2 to a case maker willing to pay 20,000 yuan ($3,000) for first crack at the market.
