破天荒? 蘋果iPad Air3將會配備LED補光燈

Apple's ruMored third-generation iPad Air might adopt not just a quad-speaker design, but also an LED flash for its rear-mounted camera, according to a design illustration shared on Monday.

從週一曝光的設計圖中可以看到，傳說中的iPad Air 3可能不僅配備四個揚聲器，還將爲後置攝像頭添加LED補光燈。

The source of the information isn't fully reliable, but has previously been accurate in two out of three occasions, said French site Nowhereelse.

法國科技博客網站Nowhereelse表示，該消息來源並不完全可靠，但是在它以往的三次預言中有兩次是準確的。

Doubling speaker ports would take the Air in the direction of the iPad Pro, giving it both louder sound and true stereo panning. An LED flash may be less likely, since while many people do use iPads for photography and scanning documents, Apple has consciously left flashes off of every previous iPad model — including the Pro.

iPad Pro 把揚聲器加倍到四個，iPad Air 3 將保留此項配置，以保證更大的外放音量和完美的立體聲平移。相比之下，添加LED補光燈聽起來很不現實，畢竟在很多用戶使用iPad拍照和掃描的情況下，蘋果公司並沒有在包括iPad Pro在內的平板產品中配備補光燈。

Apple may want as many upgrades as possible to entice people to buy the Air. iPad sales have been declining for the past several quarters, and lower-cost Minis are now the most popular size format, although the Air 2 is the best-selling individual model.

爲了吸引用戶購買，蘋果公司可能希望儘可能多的進行產品升級。iPad銷售量在過去的幾個季度中持續下滑，雖然iPad Air 2是最熱賣的單品，但是價格較低的iPad Mini系列產品目前看來是最受歡迎的尺寸。

A third-gen Air is expected to ship sometime in the first half of 2016. Little else is known about it, though it will presumably play catch-up with the Pro through a faster processor.

iPad Air 第三代產品有望在2016年上半年發佈。該產品可能會配有比iPad Pro更快的處理器，除此之外目前沒有更多的消息泄露出來。
