"iPhone 16 Pro: Balancing Storage Capacity and Performance Upgrades"

Apple is reportedly considering using QLC NAND flash for the iPhone 16, potentially allowing for larger storage models. While this technology offers more storage capacity and cost savings, it is less reliable and may result in slower speeds and fewer write cycles. If implemented, the 1TB variants of the iPhone 16 could be slower and less reliable than the base models, but the actual impact will only be known after testing. This move could enable Apple to offer iPhone models with more than 1TB of storage for the first time.
