iPhone 7 is going to be launched this fall by the Apple company, and according to some information that appeared during this day, the new smartphone could have a new type of ultra-fast flash memory developed by the Samsung company and implemented in the Galaxy S7.
According to an Asian publication, Apple contracted Samsung to buy NAND flash storage modules what will end up in the iPhone and probably the iPad, the collaboration between the companies being resumed after 4 years in which Apple relied on SK Hynix and other companies for memory modules.
Samsung has implemented in the Galaxy S7 a new type of NAND Flash UFS memory which offers high performance for data transfer, and it could even reach iPhone 7 if Samsung could prepare it in time for implementation in Apple's products.

The problem at the moment is that these memory modules need to be additionally shielded to emit less electromagnetic interference inside the case, and Samsung is working with various partners to make this change for the component.
Samsung Electronics' DS Memory Business Department is planning to supply NAND-Flash memories to Apple for iPhones. Samsung Electronics is co-developing an EMI shielding process that uses the spray method with Protec. EMI shielding for semiconductor chip takes place by adding a process that covers ultra-thin metal on top of packaging's surface.
Considering that Samsung no longer used this process of additional protection of memory modules against electromagnetic interference, there are chances that these memory modules will not reach the iPhone until next year.
If they will arrive, then iPhone 7 it could be up to 2 times faster than the iPhone 6S in terms of data transfer in the terminal and with other devices, but everything depends on Samsung's ability to prepare the components for implementation.
