I'm curious, but not 99cents curious nor "install something from a website in Chinese" curious.
I have occasional reboots, like I can't name the last one, on my 64gb, but it isn't an issue. If it was I'd spend the 99 cents....
And I'm with someone else, this seems like an ad for the app.

Lol it's not an ad for the app you could use any app that tests the Read/Write speed of your phone I'm sure they are loads on the AppStore, this one was the first one i found
No issues so far with my 128GB SG iPhone 6(AT&T). I received it on Veteran's Day and it had 8.0.2, since upgraded to iOS 8.1.1.

When I ran the command using SSH + IO kit, it came back bits per cell = 1, which corresponds with SLC. my 6+ 64 is coming back 2, which is MLC.
3, as you might guess, is TLC.
Interesting, i wonder if all iPads are using SLC, thats classed as the most expensive Flash and is often used in enterprise
I don't have another 16 iPad to try, but I've been reading online people's Air2 128's are TLC. Wouldn't be surprised if they switched it on mini 2 or have a variety of different internal storages on "comparable models."
So if that were true then, it's certainly not now.
I mean my thing is if you aren't having issues to not necessarily worry, but if you are, and you have the affected version, could be worth considering some sort of correlation.
Well it may be true for 16GB devices only, it seems Apple are tying to cut costs on the bigger storage
Could be, but people are reporting 6/6+ 16 are almost all, if not all, MLC.
The plot thickens

I'm talking about just iPad
My write speed is 155 my read speed is 259 from the iPhone doctor app. I have a 64gb silver iPhone 6 bought two weeks ago. Any idea what flash memory I have?
Thank you
Thank you
Regardless of TLC or MLC will the average user see speed differences with everyday use?
If you are having your device crash, then that's different and needs addressing.

I see. Only had one instance of the phone rebooting during a phone call and oddly enough the call didn't drop but the went white and rebooted all while talking. It was strange. Other than that no issue. I have AppleCare on my phone as well. Do you think I should cal lapple and get a replacement. Have they even acknowledged this issue. Thanks for any help you can offer
No it will be impossible to tell with the naked eye until you move large files around
