7 256 GB iPhone is going to be launched by the Apple company in September, new information from Apple's distribution chain suggests that its partners have increased the production of such large storage media especially for those from Cupertino and the new smartphone that is going to be available.
According to these sources, 7 256 GB iPhone will also generate an increase in NAND flash storage media that have so much storage space, these will continue to grow until the end of 2016, when Apple will most likely reduce its production and implicitly the number of components of this kind ordered.
Samsung and SK Hynix are the main suppliers of NAND flash storage media for 7 256 GB iPhone, both companies increasing production for these components, but this in the conditions where there is anyway a very high demand for all storage media of this kind for mobile terminals.

iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus consumed 15% of the total production of NAND flash modules in 2016, and for iPhone 7 it is expected that this percentage will continue to grow, but it remains to be seen how much 7 256 GB iPhone will succeed in selling the Apple company, considering that the price of this terminal could reach 1000 euros.
NAND flash vendors have increased chip prices citing strong demand for new smartphones, particularly the iPhone 7 featuring up to 256GB of storage, according to industry sources. Prices will keep soaring until the fourth quarter of 2016. Major NAND-chip suppliers including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have all raised their quotes citing a pull-in of orders from their system customers, the sources said.
It was rumored as of 3-4 months ago 7 256 GB iPhone will be launched by the Apple company, but this would also mark a major change expected for years, specifically the iPhone 7 32 GB will be the cheapest version of the new terminal, the Apple company will finally give up on the 16 GB models storage space.
Considering that Apple already sells iPad tablets with 256 GB of storage space, the launch of a 7 256 GB iPhone it is quite easy to believe and has a very high chance of being fulfilled.
