Apple has made the launch date of iPhone official - at last. But the company hasn't said what new models, if any, it will be launching, instead inviting journalists to a "Special Event", with the cryptic invitation "Let's Talk iPhone".

苹果公司终于定下了iPhone手机官方发布日期。但是公司并没有对新款做说明，如果有的话，就会直接发布，而不是用神秘的邀请函“Let's Talk iPhone”邀请记者们去参加一次“特殊活动”了。

The company remained typically tight-lipped about what the “event” might launch - but it seems set to be epic.

该公司仍然对于“活动”发布什么守口如瓶——但看起来似乎将是史诗般的作品。

For the first time, the event is being held at the company's Cupertino HQ - at the famous address, 1, Infinite Loop, a geeky programming joke. Few outsiders ever visit the complex - so even seeing the company on its home turf is sure to ignite a media frenzy.

这是苹果公司第一次将发布会选在位于库比提诺的总部——那个非常著名的地址，Infinite Loop（永无休止的循环代码）1号。这地名来自于苹果公司内部一个讨人嫌的编程笑话。此前很少有外人能进入集团内部参观——所以即使只是能够登门拜访苹果公司这件事，就已经足以引起媒体的疯狂。

Every previous event has been held at conference venues nearby.

之前的每次发布会都是在公司附近的会议场地举行。

Apple staff have been "banned" from holidays in the first two weeks of October in America, and tech insiders expect products from the launch to appear in stores shortly after - probably on October 14.

在美国的苹果公司职员已经被禁止十月头两个星期休假，高科技业内人士预计，苹果公司新品从发布到上市不会太久——可能在10月14日左右。

All the signs now point towards an early October launch for the gadgets.

现在种种迹象都指向十月初将推出的新机型。

The idea that there are two models - one sporting the fast A5 processor inside iPad 2, and a cheaper model with lower-tech components, seems likely.

关于推出两款产品的猜测——一一款配有iPad2内A5高速处理器的产品和一款配置低端科技组建的便宜机型——看起来是真的。

Al Gore, a board member of Apple Computer, seemed to give the biggest hint yet of what the tech giant had in store for us in October - referring to "the new iPhones released next month."

关于这个高科技巨头在十月为我们准备了什么，苹果公司董事会成员之一阿尔•戈尔似乎已经给出了最大的暗示——他说“下个月发布的新iPhone。”

This seemed to confirm two rumours: one, that there would be more than one model, and two, that they would both appear late in October. Mr Gore's statements - at a conference in South Africa - also tied in closely with the most credible of the recent iPhone rumours.

这似乎证实了两个传闻：其一是，将有不只一款机型发布，其二是，它们都将于十月底面世，戈尔先生的言论——在南非会议上的发言——也与近期iPhone传闻的可信度密切相关。
