Apple plans to add 2 terabytes of internal memory to the iPhone16 Pro, but the speed of reading and writing data will deteriorate, reports 9to5Mac, citing an insider.

As noted, the gadget will receive flash memory of the Qual Level Cell (QLC) standard, which does not have such high characteristics as similar TLC format devices used in current Apple phones with one terabyte of built-in memory. Thus, the overall characteristics of the phone may decrease.

The message says that Apple made this decision due to the fact that QLC flash memory will be cheaper, thus reducing the cost of the flagship iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro models Max will be lower. The release of these gadgets is expected in September.
