In India, Apple Inc's normally deft¹ management of government relations is being put to a fresh high stakes test. For almost two years, Apple has battled India's telecom regulator over a demand that it allow the use of the government's anti-spam app.

在印度，苹果公司通常灵活的政府关系管理正面临着新的高风险考验。近两年来，苹果公司与印度电信监管机构始终在一项新规定上存在分歧，该规定要求苹果手机安装印度政府批准的防骚扰应用。

Non-compliance, the watchdog threatened last month, could result in phones being "derecognised" from the country's networks, meaning they would no longer function.

该监管机构上月威胁称，如果苹果公司不遵守规定，可能会导致苹果手机在该国网络中“无法获得识别”，这意味着它们将无法正常使用。

At the heart of its latest tussle² with the government is India's pervasive³ problem with spam and nuisance calls -- one the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is trying to counter with an app that it wants all phone makers⁴ to install.

苹果公司与印度电信监管机构（TRAI）的分歧在于，后者希望所有手机制造商都能安装政府批准的防骚扰应用，以帮助应对垃圾邮件和骚扰电话问题。

若不接受政府的规定 印度将对苹果进行封网

The app has been available on the Android store since 2016, but Apple in March told Reuters that TRAI's app "as envisioned violates the privacy policy of the App Store."

自2016年以来，这款应用已经在安卓应用商店上线，但苹果公司在3月份表示，TRAI的应用“违反了其应用商店的隐私政策”。

The new version of its iPhone operating system, expected in autumn, will allow many of the app's functions but not fully automatic spam filtering as that functionality could open the door to Apple users being tracked by third parties, Apple said in a letter to regulators.

苹果在致监管机构的一封信中表示，预计将于秋季发布的新版iPhone的操作系统，将支持该应用的多种功能，但不会完全自动过滤垃圾邮件，因为该功能可能会向被第三方跟踪的苹果用户敞开大门。

"We look forward to working with TRAI to address the issue of unsolicited commercial communications, while simultaneously⁵ ensuring that we fully honor our commitment to protect the privacy and security of our users," Apple's head of public policy in India, Kulin Sanghvi, wrote in the letter.

苹果驻印度公共政策主管库林·桑维在信中写道：“我们期待与TRAI合作，解决未经请求的商业通信问题，同时确保我们完全遵守保护用户隐私和安全的承诺。”
