The Fault in memory iPhone 6 Plus might be Solved by Samsung





  • Samsung will be responsible for supplying large number of components to Apple in the coming years.
  • One is the new NAND memory that would replace Toshiba memory because it is the cause of the problems reported with the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB.
  • The South Korean company is also responsible for making batteries and processors of the new iPhone in July.


The number of components that provides Samsung to Apple increase

Apparently the South Korean giant Samsung plans to increase the number of components supplied to Apple, including the possibility of solving the problem of iPhone 6 Plus 128GB models thanks to a component that they manufactured, replacing the TLC Toshiba NAND Flash memory, because it is causing problems blocking restart and higher capacity models.

Problems with the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB

Apparently some users reported problems locking and restarting in some models of iPhone 6 Plus 128GB, which led Apple to stop using the TLC NAND Flash technology to avoid error.


So Apple has apparently discussed with Samsung to be the ones that provide the NAND memory and thus end the problem of higher capacity models. It seeks to end cell three levels (TLC) in the iPhone 6 128GB and NAND modules with SK Hynix, Toshiba and SanDisk at their disposal 64GB models. Apparently at first the Cupertino had negotiated with Samsung manufacturing NAND, but did not reach an agreement and decided to opt for Toshiba because it was cheaper.

But in the end Samsung will be responsible for solving the problem of reset and blocking of some models of the iPhone 6, replacing the TLC NAND flash memory manufactured by a Korean company, as they had planned from the beginning.

Samsung and Apple

On the other side is not the only collaboration of the South Korean company Apple. Is known to be also responsible for manufacturing the batteries and iPhone 6 and DRAM would be providing the Cupertino for these same phone models.


On the other hand the apple company also reportedly asked Samsung making special chips for use in the next Apple Watch, according to a report. The poor relationship with Samsung in the past, led them to reduce their dependence on the components with the South Korean company for your iOS devices, but it seems that Apple has changed its mind.

Besides all this, Samsung also be responsible for making chips 14 nanometer processors Series A for the next iPhone 7, so that their relationship is merely to be increasing, despite the dispute between the two companies. This reconciliation also report 80% of the processors for the new iPhone and iPad from 2016, since Samsung also be responsible for manufacture , Taiwan TSMC being responsible for making the remaining 20%.

Despite worn as cat and mouse both companies, even using aggressive advertising to get a company to another, it seems that Apple and Samsung are condemned to understand and this is reflected in this article we have known thanks to BGR , Samsung be responsible for troubleshoot iPhone models 6 Plus 128 and 64GB.

Do you think that the ratio of Samsung and Apple continue well? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
