蘋果發新機加入5G戰局

Competition in China's high-end smartphone market is set to intensify with the arrival of the 5G-enabled iPhone 12 from Apple Inc, as domestic companies may unveil more feature-packed models to attract consumers, experts said.

專家稱，隨着美國科技巨頭蘋果公司發佈5G手機iPhone 12，我國高端智能手機市場的競爭預計將白熱化，國內廠家可能推出更多多功能機型來吸引消費者。

Though the US tech giant has been a relatively late entrant in the 5G-enabled phone market, some tech-savvy Chinese consumers may upgrade to the new iPhones, which enable data flow at faster speeds and offer smoother experiences for gaming enthusiasts and those watching streaming videos, they said.

專家稱，雖然蘋果在5G手機市場有點姍姍來遲，但一些科技控的中國消費者可能會升級到最新iPhone，畢竟這款手機數據傳輸速度更快，能爲遊戲愛好者和觀看直播視頻的人提供更流暢的體驗。

"The new iPhones will increase the share of high-end phones in the overall smartphone market," said Wang Xi, research manager at global market consultancy IDC.

全球市場諮詢機構IDC研究經理王曦表示，新iPhone將增加高端機在整體智能手機市場中的份額。

IDC estimates that about 240 million 5G-enabled smartphones would be shipped this year, with the Chinese market alone accounting for more than 160 million units, or 67.7% of the total.

IDC預計，2020年全球5G手機出貨量約2.4億臺，中國市場將貢獻超過1.6億臺，佔比約67.7%。
