"Potential Performance Setback: iPhone 16's Switch to QLC NAND Flash"

Apple is considering using higher-density Quad-Level Cell (QLC) NAND flash memory for 1TB iPhone 16 Pro models, which could lead to slower read and write speeds but allow for more storage in a smaller space at a lower cost. This change may also pave the way for future 2TB iPhone models. However, QLC NAND is less durable and reliable than the current Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND, so Apple would need to address these drawbacks with specific optimizations. The 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB iPhone models are likely to continue using TLC NAND for the foreseeable future.

Solidigm Launches High-Capacity QLC Data Center SSDs with TLC Performance at Affordable Prices.

Solidigm has introduced the D5-P5430, a QLC SSD that promises competitive read performance and higher endurance ratings compared to previous generation TLC drives from its competitors. The D5-P5430 uses a 4KB IU, unlike the D5-P5316's 16K IU, and is available in capacities up to 15.36 TB, with a 30 TB SKU slated to appear later this year. The Micron 6500 ION is the main competition for the D5-P5430, but the Solidigm drive wins out on the endurance aspect, with a 0.58 RDWPD for a QLC drive.
