It’s been less than three months since Apple unveiled its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, but rumours suggest the firm is gearing up for its next release already.

虽然iPhone 6和6 Plus发布至今还不满3个月，近日有传闻指出，苹果公司已经在着手准备下一代iPhone产品了。

Reports say Apple may hold two iPhone launch events next year, to release its iPhone 6S in spring, and its iPhone 7 in September.

报道称，苹果公司将于明年举办两场iPhone新品发布会，春季将推出iPhone 6s，秋季则将发布iPhone7。

The iPhone 6S may even go on sale at the same time as Apple’s upcoming Watch.

据悉，iPhone 6S或将与即将推出的新版Watch同时开卖。

The claims were made by ‘sources in the supply chain’ to Jerry Miller from Stabley Times.

据外媒Stabley Times的记者杰里·米勒报道，这是从供应链方面得到的消息。

Until 2013, Apple released one handset each year around September time.

2013年前，苹果公司都是在每年9月前后发布一款手机。

This included a new model one year, followed by a slightly modified 'S-version' the year after.

这包括当年发布的一部新款，和下一年所发布稍作改动的S版。

Last year, however, it used its September launch event to announce two new devices - its flagship iPhone 5S and the ‘cheaper’ iPhone 5C.

但去年，在9月的发布会上，苹果公司一举推出了两款新设备：旗舰版iPhone 5S和价格相对便宜的iPhone 5C。

This was followed by the launch of its iPhone 6 and larger iPhone 6 Plus this year.

而这一变化在2014年得到了延续。在今年的iPhone新品发布会上，苹果推出了iPhone 6和更大的6 Plus。

The new schedule is expected to stagger the releases of two devices in 2015 to capitalise on sales.

预计新的时间安排将通过错开明年两款新品的发布时间，来增加其产品销量。
