Reports from the People's Republic of China indicate that Apple is preparing to introduce iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on October 10, following final approval from the Ministry¹ of Industry and Information Technology.

中国媒体报道，公信部最终批准后，苹果计划在10月10号开始发售iPhone 6和iPhone 6 Plus。

In the report by TechWeb, the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 was reported to be priced starting at 5288 yuan ($863, the same starting price as last year's iPhone 5s), while the 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus is expected to start at 6288 yuan ($1026).

TechWeb消息，4.7寸的iPhone 6售价为5288元起（合863美元，和去年的iPhone5s价格持平）；5.5寸的iPhone 6 Plus售价则为6288元（1026美元）。

However, a report by Bloomberg stated that under pressure of Chinese state regulators, carriers were lowering subsidies² for new phone buyers.

但彭博社消息指出，在中国政府的压力下，运营商们降低了用户所能获得的优惠。

That report stated that Chinese subsidies are paid over the length of users' contracts in the form of a monthly rebate³ applied⁴ to the user's mobile service cost, rather than as a lump sum when the user signs their contract, as is common in the U.S.

报道中说，中国的优惠是合同期内每月返话费，并非像美国那样一签合同就会获得大笔补偿。

Due to the changes being mandated⁵ in China, the effective hardware price for users will double. However, the initial price users pay to get a new phone will actually be lower, starting at 4488 yuan ($732) rather than 5288 yuan. The carriers are said to be reducing their monthly discounts on voice service from 194 yuan ($31.66) to 136 yuan ($22.20).

由于政府规定影响，手机价格将会翻倍。但初始费用会从5288元降至4488元（732美元）。运营商表示每月话费折扣将从194元降低到136元。

While this move significantly reduces the overall subsidy⁶ (costing end users an additional 592 yuan ($97) over the length of their two year contract), it makes the initial purchase more affordable⁷ (800 yuan or $131 cheaper up front).

尽管这一举措增加了用户的全部费用（在2年合同期内将多付592元），但它让初始费用更容易接受（减少了800元）。
