According to foreign media reports, iPhone 7 will completely cancel the 16GB and 64GB versions of the product. The new model's flash memory will start with 32GB, with a top allocation of 256GB.
Previously, the iPhone was reported to change the flash memory capacity, but there has been no relevant data to confirm. Until the recent exposure of The Malignant on Twitter, the rumors became even more true. He also mentioned that the new mobile phone's flash memory supplier is Toshiba Corporation of Japan. From the outgoing iPhone 7 flash memory component data, it can be seen that the iPhone 7 flash memory capacity will have three versions: 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB, respectively.
We know that Apple’s current entry-level capacity is 16GB, which has long been unable to meet the needs of users. Before this, when a large number of users feedback to upgrade iOS 10, because the memory is too small they have to carry out data cleaning, causing a lot of unnecessary trouble. Interestingly, Google recently indirectly satirized Apple's storage capacity in an advertisement. It can be seen that feedback from the outside world is an important reason for Apple's complete cancellation of the 16G entry-level model.
Supply chain sources said that in addition to Toshiba, Apple will also purchase flash memory from other companies. Last week, the "Electronic Times" newspaper mentioned that Samsung Electronics and Hynix quietly raised the price of NAND Flash flash memory chips, Samsung and Hynix NAND, as the maximum capacity of the iPhone 7 will be increased to 256GB. The increase in the price of Flash flash chips may directly lead to an increase in the price of iPhone7.
As the iPhone 7 is about to be released, related details will begin to surface slowly. Lei Feng Network (search for "Lei Feng Net" public number attention) will report its latest developments in the first time.
