????雖然蘋果（Apple）目前尚未公開新一代iPhone，甚至沒有公布其正式命名，但中國商鋪已經開始大張旗鼓地銷售五顏六色、設計各異的iPhone 5保護套。但它們的尺寸都一模一樣，MICGadget認為這和最近丟失的一臺iPhone 5原型機有關。不久前，這款樣機在深圳富士康（Foxconn）的一間工廠遺失。

????我們必須認真對待對這些保護套。中國的保護套生產廠商競爭激烈，但利潤非常稀薄。它們精于業務并不惜采用非法手段獲取蘋果最為機密的原型機。今年6月，中國一家地方法院判處三人入獄，罪名是合謀竊取商業機密。這三人將iPad 2早期設計信息作價2萬元人民幣（約合3千美元）出售給了一家保護套生產商，而后者則是為了搶占市場先機。

????How crazy is the Chinese market for smartphone cases? Check out the video below produced by MICGadget, our favorite English-language blog covering the Chinese electronics market.

????Apple (AAPL) hasn't unveiled or even named its newest iPhone, but Chinese shops are already selling cases for the iPhone 5 in a wide variety of colors and designs. They all have the same dimensions, however, a fact that MICGadget attributes to a single iPhone 5 prototype that went missing recently from a Foxconn factory in Shenzhen.

????There is reason to take these designs seriously. Chinese case manufacturers compete vigorously for narrow margins. They know their business and are not beyond using extra-legal means to get their hands on Apple's top secret prototypes. In June a Chinese court sent three people to prison on conspiracy charges for selling an early design for the iPad 2 to a case maker willing to pay 20,000 yuan ($3,000) for first crack at the market.
