IPhone 16 will get faster QLC memory

According to insiders, Apple is buying impressive quantities of QLC NAND flash memory for future iPhone 16 devices. Using QLC NAND technology has a few drawbacks, but many companies turn a blind eye to them because of cost savings. QLC technology allows four bits of data per memory cell instead of three, which reduces costs and increases storage capacity.

It’s worth noting that QLC technology is less reliable than TLC due to fewer write cycles on flash memory chips and lower speeds. Speaking of which, Apple was previously going to use QLC NAND flash memory for its iPhone 14 lineup, but dropped the idea due to the use of a more standard TLC-based solution.
It’s possible that the manufacturer tweaked the technology, but it seems a bit odd now, as Apple has always favored reliability.
