iPhone 7s Plus, and the iPhone 8 will bring new elements which still haven't been found in the product line of the device. And it was said that the iPhone models might have wireless charging recognition and feature.
Apple usually releases iPhone models, each year. But, production issues with the 3 d NAND flash chips provide a bleak release that is timely.
Shortage of 3 D NAND flash chips
Supplies for the 3 d flash chips to the I phones are believed to be decreasing short, DigiTimes reported. Apple's chip suppliers, SK Hynix and Toshiba, both collapsed to afford the needed level of their flash chips. There is already about 30 per cent lack in the general supply of the storage capacity processors.The 3D NAND processor is a component for devices where nonvolatile data is stored, much like a hard disk drive. Samsung early in the day announced that they're currently transitioning their processors.
The new Apple flagship devices' manufacturing is apparently one of many explanations for its lack. And there are predictions which said the source of 3D NANDs might be tight before the year's end.
Here's an excerpt from the DigiTimes report:
Apple has turned into Samsung for 3D NAND chip supplies for its phones, since Samsung, it has scaled up its output signal of 3D processors and has stable return rates for 3D NAND technology.
TrendForce estimated the supplies of this 3D NAND flash memory chip wouldn't ease until the middle of 2018. "The NAND Flash industry manufacturers will continue to give his attention to the evolution of 3D NAND Flash technology in 2017," explained TrendForce.
In the second half of 2018, a few suppliers will begin to alter their attention towards the newer and more advanced 96L flash storage products of the industry. Samsung, Toshiba and Micron Technology are transitioning to 3D NAND flash products, while SK Hynix plans to jump straight to supplying 72-layer 3D chips.
"These slow changes are all expected to have a potentially beneficial influence on the productions of NAND Flash in 2018," added TrendForce. "As a consequence, their prices might start to fall as early as a year ago." On the other hand, the source of NAND flash chips is placed to continue to be during the end of 2017.
Business Korea explained that Samsung Electronics (that leads the global NAND flash market), Toshiba, Western Digital and S-K Hynix are hastening the growth of these three-dimensional NAND flash processor technologies, which fundamentally stack more memory cells than 2-d chips while still utilizing existing mass generation facilities.
The 128GB iPhone 7 model, for example, uses Toshiba's 3D NAND technology, which stores three bits of data each transistor and piles 48 NAND layers bringing accelerated write performance in comparison to 2D flash memory chips and read.
