不用买，改成"租"：Apple 推出新的手机计划

很多人都很喜欢用 iPhone。

Many people love using the iPhone.

以前，你想要 iPhone，就要花钱买下来。

Before, if you wanted an iPhone, you had to spend money and buy it.

买了以后，这个手机，就是你自己的了。

Once you bought it, this phone was your own.

可是最近，Apple 换了一个新做法。

But recently, Apple has switched to a new approach.

现在，你可以"租"手机，不用一下子买下来。

Now, you can "lease" a phone instead of buying it all at once.

每个月，你给 Apple 一点钱，就能用比较新的 iPhone。

Every month, you give Apple a little money, and you can use a fairly new iPhone.

一年或者两年以后，你还可以换一个新的。

After a year or two, you can swap it for a new one.

不过要记住：这个手机，一直是 Apple 的，不是你的。

But remember: this phone is always Apple's, not yours.

喜欢的人说：这样很好，每年都能用新手机，每个月也花不了多少钱。

People who like it say: it's great, a new phone every year, and it doesn't cost much per month.

不喜欢的人说：这样一来，手机永远都不属于自己。

People who don't say: this way, the phone never really belongs to you.

Apple 也说，以前那个"买手机"的老办法，以后就不做了。

Apple also said the old "buy the phone" way will no longer be offered.

所以现在，很多人都在想：以后要手机，到底是"买"好，还是"租"好？

So now, many people are wondering: in the future, is it better to "buy" a phone, or to "lease" one?
