IPhone 14 Prototypes With 2TB QLC NAND Flash Are Ready: Testing by Apple Partners

Back in September last year, the first rumors appeared that Apple was planning to switch to QLC NAND flash memory in the iPhone 14 line of smartphones.

Now, supply chain sources confirm that in addition to major changes to the appearance and removal of bangs, the iPhone 14 lineup will include models with 2TB of flash memory. At the same time, it is confirmed that we are talking about a QLC NAND flash memory.

According to the source, Apple has decided to increase the maximum memory of the iPhone again, in part due to improved camera capabilities. In particular, due to the increase in the resolution of the image sensor from 12 to 48 megapixels, as well as support for 8K video, the maximum video size will increase significantly. Several Apple partners are reported to be testing prototypes of the iPhone 14 with 2TB of flash storage.

At the same time, concerns about the QLC flash memory are again expressed. They are due to the fact that the performance and reliability of QLC is not as good as that of TLC flash memory. In addition, the emergence of smartphones with this amount of memory will once again increase the average selling price of the iPhone.

An insider has confirmed that the iPhone 14 Pro will receive round and oval cutouts.
