iPhone 17 iphone 18 faster NAND chip for base storage

[ghostanime2001]

Will the base iphone 18 256gb get high-speed NAND chip like the iphone air 256 gb ?

No one knows.

But is there ANY workflow on earth where the iPhone 17 Pro Max nand speed is a bottleneck?

No, but I saw Reddit comments about it but usually users report no issues anyway. It's weird that the air has faster NAND than the bro or base for the same 256 GB storage .... =\

I know the 17 Pro 512 GB and higher had the faster NAND versus the 256 GB base model.

As far as the 18 Pro models are concerned ... considering the increased cost of RAM (NAND too?), I personally see Apple continuing that trend in an attempt to increase profits as most folks probably purchase the base models.

Who knows, with all the leaks on the 18 Pro ... this question may already have an answer ...

I am sure they will make a chart to let you think it is faster.

18 Pros 1TB+ will likely use slower NAND as per this link:

Apple Is Swapping The Faster TLC For Slower QLC Storage In iPhone 18 Pro Duo's 1TB And 2TB Models, While Charging Sky-High Prices

Apple is stealthily downgrading the higher storage variants of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, especially when it comes to the flash storage.

I guess wait for more leaks on the base 18 models 🙂

What the heck
So the same trends continue the 256 gb models will use slower NAND ?
