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 https://wccftech.com/apple-is-swappi...y-high-prices/

Apple is reportedly downgrading the NAND flash storage in the 1TB and 2TB variants of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro

According to the tipster Reptalica, the 256GB and 512GB variants of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max use TLC NAND that has been sourced from SK hynix, Kioxia, and SanDisk.

For the benefit of those who might not be aware, Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND stores three bits of data per cell, and typically entails faster and more consistent write speeds, while offering higher durability than its Quad-Level Cell (QLC) NAND counterpart, but comes with a higher cost.
