New iPhone 3G and updated iPod Touch threaten NAND supply

Apple are up to something and we need to know what it is, you see they have just ordered a huge amount of NAND chips which now threaten the supply for other electronic companies. This latest move is consistent with the article that Daniel wrote that Apple were going to offer a new 3G iPhone and iPod Touch with 32GB of storage.

DigiTimes have reported that Apple has reportedly placed an order for 100 million 8GB NAND flash chips, most of them will be coming from Samsung. This is certain to cause a shortage in the supply of these memory chips, Nokia and Sony have also started to stock its supple of Nand chips, which makes supplies even more tight.

Come on Apple why don’t you just come out and tell us that you are working on a new Apple iPhone, there has to be some truth in all these rumors. If those rumors are true, then we know that the new iPhone will now have more storage capacity, better performance from the processor and graphics. There is also talk of an improved camera, I mentioned the other day that it could be a 3.2 megapixel.

We will just have to wait a few months to see if these rumors come to fruit.
