 Have you ever noticed that after about 6 months your perfectly new $1,000 dollar smartphone begins to slow down? 你有没有注意到，大约6个月后，价值1000美元的全新智能手机也会开始变慢? What if I told you that it’s a sales tactic that pretty much all phone companies use to force people into buying new phones? 如果我告诉你这是一种销售策略，几乎所有的电话公司都用它来强迫人们购买新手机，那会怎么样? And that all of this is somehow completely LEGAL for them to do? 这一切对他们来说都是合法的吗?  In 2017, a young tech executive by the name of Lisa Young — A MIT honors graduate who worked her way up from a junior software engineer — leaked one of the biggest controversies in consumer electronics history. 2017年，一位名叫丽莎·杨的年轻科技高管泄露了消费类电子产品历史上最大的争议之一，丽莎·杨毕业于麻省理工学院(MIT)，是一名荣誉毕业生，从一名初级软件工程师一路走来。 Here, is Lisa’s story... 一下就是丽莎的故事...... Hi I’m Lisa Young, 大家好，我是丽莎.杨， Yes, the infamous software executive from Apple. 是的，我就是那个臭名昭著的苹果软件主管。 I was living the Silicon Valley dream: I had a chance to meet Steve Jobs and work under Tim Cook. 我一直生活在硅谷的梦想中: I had a nice cozy $2.7 million dollar flat in the heart of San Francisco. 我在旧金山市中心有一套价值270万美元的舒适公寓。 My career was taking off and I was in charge of iOS security and beta software testing teams. 我的事业蒸蒸日上，负责iOS安全和beta软件测试团队。 But in late 2015, my boss revealed a dark secret to me… 但在2015年末，我的老板向我透露了一个黑暗的秘密……  My boss informed me that they were using a new strategy that would purposely slow down older phones everytime the phone would upgrade to the latest operating system. 我的老板告诉我，他们正在使用一种新策略，每次手机升级到最新的操作系统时，都会故意放慢旧手机的速度. This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%. I was a little disturbed to hear the news, but I just kept my head down and continued to do my job. 这种新方法将迫使消费者购买最新型号的手机，销量将增加70%。听到这个消息时我感觉有点不安，但我只是低下头继续做我的工作。 After a while, the guilt of being involved with such a shady sales model started to weigh heavy on me. 过了一段时间，我开始为自己被卷入这样一个阴暗的销售模式而感到内疚。 The whole “corporate greed” was too much to bear, how could a multi-billion dollar corporation continue to take advantage of the public like this? 整个“企业的野心”让人无法忍受，一个数十亿美元的企业怎么能继续这样利用公众的利益呢? I began to really despise what I was doing and why I was still doing it. 我开始真正鄙视我正在做的事情，并懊恼为什么我还在做。 In March of 2017, I contacted a reporter to finally set things straight. 2017年3月，我联系了一位记者，终于把事情弄清楚了。 I leaked the information concerning Apple slowing down phones. 我泄露了有关苹果放慢手机速度的信息。  The scandal went viral overnight, and every media outlet in the world, in every language was talking about it. 这一丑闻一夜之间就像病毒一样传播开来，世界上所有的媒体都在用各种语言谈论这件事。 It even caused the stock to plummet. 这甚至导致股票暴跌。 A week later, I was secretly let go after my 8 years of service. 一周后，我在工作8年后被秘密解雇了。 Although I was taking a huge risk going against one the most powerful corporations in the world, I felt a sense of relief exposing them. 尽管我冒着巨大的风险去对抗世界上最强大的公司之一，但我还是感到了一种如释重负的感觉。 The public deserved to know and the fear became my vengeance to find a way to destroy their shady sales model. 公众理应知道，而这种恐惧成了我复仇的动力，我想找到一种方法来摧毁他们阴暗的销售模式。 Several of my colleagues were fired with me and were just as disgusted with the corporate greed. 我的几个同事和我一起被解雇了，他们对公司的贪婪同样感到厌恶。 We quietly united, and after a year of extensive research we came up with a solution that would change the longevity of smartphones forever. 我们静静地团结在一起，经过一年的广泛研究，我们提出了一个解决方案，将永远改变智能手机的寿命。 With the knowledge we gained from Apple, our top engineers discovered that the secret to restoring smartphones was in the battery. 根据我们从苹果公司获得的知识，我们的高级工程师发现，恢复智能手机的秘密在于电池。 We designed a unique product called CircaCharge that would reverse the negative effects of "software updates." 我们设计了一种名为CircaCharge的独特产品，它可以逆转“软件更新”的负面影响。  Phone companies have recently caught wind of our overnight success with CircaCharge and are trying to do everything they can to make this product illegal and bann it forever. 苹果手机公司最近听说我们CircaCharge公司一夜之间取得了成功，正在尽一切努力使该产品非法，并永远禁止使用。 We will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways. 我们将继续开发新技术，在电话公司改变他们的黑暗方式之前，在他们自己的领域击败他们。 Our team has made unbelievable progress in increasing battery life, battery health, and optimizing phone performance. 我们的团队在提高电池寿命、电池健康和优化手机性能方面取得了令人难以置信的进步。  CircaCharge engineers utilized advanced military technology to not only wirelessly charge your phone but triple your device’s performance and extend battery life. CircaCharge公司的工程师利用先进的军事技术，不仅可以为手机无线充电，还可以使设备性能提高两倍，延长电池寿命。 The technology they created is now the best technology available to use when charging ANY mobile device. 他们创造的技术现在是所有移动设备充电时可用的最佳技术。 You don’t need to worry if your phone doesn’t have Wireless Charging Capabilities. 如果你的手机没有无线充电功能，也不必担心。 The CircaCharge team is giving out FREE adapters which can easily be attached to the back of your phone. CircaCharge团队正在提供免费的适配器，可以轻松地连接到您的手机后面。 It’s super thin, so you can fit a case over it, and it instantly turns any phone (Apple, Samsung, Galaxy, etc.) into a wireless-charging capable device. 它非常薄，所以你可以在上面放上手机，它可以立即将任何手机(苹果、三星、Galaxy等)变成一个无线充电设备。 Once the adapter is attached, you can wirelessly charge your phone on the super sleek charging pad, and your phone will charge up in minutes. 一旦连接上适配器，你就可以在超级光滑的充电板上给手机无线充电，几分钟后手机就会充满电。  We had one of our team members try it out... 我们让自己的一个团队成员试了试…… Jason Carpenter, our Lead Editor, owns an iPhone 6s — It has a cracked screen, dying battery, and is very slow. 我们的主编贾森·卡彭特拥有一部iPhone 6s——屏幕有裂痕，电池快没电了，速度非常慢。 Let’s see how his test goes after testing CircaCharge charging technology. 让我们看看在测试了大规模充电技术之后，他的测试进展如何。 Day 1:I took the train to work today, just like any other day and it took me 35 minutes. I usually listen to music during my commute but since today is Monday. I spent that time replying to my work emails. 第一天:我今天坐火车去上班，就跟平常一样，我花了35分钟。我通常在上下班途中听音乐，但因为今天是星期一。所以我利用这段时间一直在回复工作邮件。 When I arrived at the office, my iPhone was still had a 92% charge. Usually my iPhone would be hovering around 60%. 当我到达办公室的时候，我的iPhone还有92%的电量。以前我的iPhone会在60%左右徘徊。 Day 3:Was able to stream Netflix for during my lunch break, and still had enough battery for the majority of the day (did need to recharge when I got home from work though) 第三天:午休时间可以看Netflix，而且一天的大部分时间都有足够的电(不过我下班回家后确实需要充电) Day 7:I don’t even think about my battery draining anymore. But what I did start noticing that all of my chat/message apps and social media apps are much faster 第7天:我甚至不会再去想我的电池快没电了。但我开始注意到，我所有的聊天/信息应用程序和社交媒体应用程序都要快得多。  Day 14:Phone works like new. I charge it at night, or for a few minutes throughout the day if I forget, and it holds the charge all day. Oh and my maps app finally works again! 第十四天:手机就像新的一样。我在晚上给它充电，如果我忘记了，我可以在一天中给它充电几分钟，而且它可以全天都有电。哦，我的地图应用终于又可以用了! The easiest way to secure a device is by ordering directly through their website.
