zuì jìn最近,píng guǒ gōng sī苹果公司fā bù发布le了xīn kuǎn新款shǒu jī手机,gāo duān高端xíng hào型号de的qǐ bù起步jià gé价格yǐ jīng已经jiē jìn接近yī wàn yuán一万元rén mín bì人民币。

Recently, Apple released new phones, and the starting price of the high-end model is now close to 10,000 yuan.

huí gù回顾2010 nián2010年,iPhone 4zài在zhōng guó中国fā shòu发售shí时,qǐ bù起步jià gé价格dà yuē大约shì是wǔ qiān yuán五千元。

Looking back to 2010, the starting price of the iPhone 4 in China was about 5,000 yuan.

shí liù nián十六年guò qù过去le了,píng guǒ苹果qí jiàn旗舰shǒu jī手机de的jià gé价格zhěng zhěng整整fān翻le了yí bèi一倍。

Sixteen years later, the price of Apple’s flagship phones has exactly doubled.

wèi shén me为什么píng guǒ shǒu jī苹果手机yuè lái yuè越来越guì贵?

Why are iPhones becoming more and more expensive?

zhǔ yào主要yǒu有jǐ gè几个yuán yīn原因。

There are several main reasons.

shǒu xiān首先shì是jì shù技术hé和chéng běn成本de的tí gāo提高。

First, technology and costs have increased.

xiàn zài现在de的shǒu jī手机nèi cún内存bǐ比guò qù过去dà大le了hěn duō很多,píng mù屏幕hé和xiàng jī相机gèng jiā更加xiān jìn先进,hé xīn核心xīn piàn芯片de的zhì zào制造chéng běn成本yě也yì zhí一直zài在zēng jiā增加。

Today’s phones have much more storage than before, more advanced screens and cameras, and the manufacturing cost of core chips has also continued to rise.

lìng wài另外,píng guǒ苹果zài在rén gōng zhì néng人工智能děng等xīn jì shù新技术shàng上tóu rù投入le了dà liàng大量zī jīn资金,zhè这yě也tuī gāo推高le了zhěng bù整部shǒu jī手机de的shòu jià售价。

In addition, Apple has invested heavily in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, which has also pushed up the price of the entire phone.

qí cì其次shì是píng guǒ苹果de的dìng jià定价cè lüè策略。

Second, there is Apple’s pricing strategy.

píng guǒ苹果bìng并bú shì不是yí cì xìng一次性tū rán突然zhǎng jià涨价,ér shì而是zài在shí liù nián十六年lǐ里màn màn慢慢tí gāo提高pèi zhì配置,zhú bù逐步tiáo zhěng调整jià gé价格。

Apple did not suddenly raise prices all at once. Instead, it gradually improved specifications and adjusted prices over sixteen years.

shí liù十六nián qián年前,wǔ qiān yuán五千元de的shǒu jī手机yǐ jīng已经ràng让hěn很duō多rén人jué de觉得áng guì昂贵;dàn但jīng guò经过zhè xiē这些nián年de的biàn huà变化,xiāo fèi zhě消费者jiàn jiàn渐渐xí guàn习惯le了gāo duān高端shǒu jī手机de的gāo高jià gé价格。

Sixteen years ago, a 5,000-yuan phone already seemed expensive to many people. But after all these years of changes, consumers have gradually become used to the high prices of high-end phones.

suī rán虽然jià gé价格jiē jìn接近wàn yuán万元,dàn但zài在xīn新shǒu jī手机fā shòu发售shí时,yī rán依然yǒu有hěn duō很多xiāo fèi zhě消费者yuàn yì愿意gòu mǎi购买。

Although the price is close to 10,000 yuan, many consumers are still willing to buy the new phones when they go on sale.

duì对xiàn dài rén现代人lái shuō来说,shǒu jī手机yǐ jīng已经bù jǐn不仅shì是tōng huà通话gōng jù工具,gèng shì更是shēng huó生活zhōng中zuì最zhòng yào重要de的diàn zi电子chǎn pǐn产品。

For modern people, a phone is no longer just a tool for making calls; it is one of the most important electronic devices in daily life.

wèi lái未来shǒu jī手机de的jià gé价格hái还huì bú huì会不会jì xù继续shàng zhǎng上涨?

Will phone prices continue to rise in the future?

zhè这bù jǐn不仅yào要kàn看jì shù技术de的fā zhǎn发展,yě也yào要kàn看xiāo fèi zhě消费者shì fǒu是否yuàn yì愿意jì xù继续jiē shòu接受。

This depends not only on technological development, but also on whether consumers are willing to continue accepting these prices.
