Unsurprisingly, iPhone 18 Pro Max SSD will slow down when hammered
The storage of the iPhone 18 Pro Max can be forced to run at very slow speeds under artificially extreme, sustained loads. You probably won't ever see this.iPhone 18 Pro in nature. The internal storage of a smartphone needs to be fast for most tasks, especially when it comes to storing video footage from the cameras. However, while most brief tasks enjoy this speed, it seems the new iPhone 18 Pro Max may have a limitation under extremely heavy l…
iPhone 18 Pro storage issue: Costlier 1TB and 2TB models reportedly use slower QLC chips
Reports suggest some higher-storage iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max variants use QLC memory, raising questions about sustained writing speeds. Here’s how QLC compares with TLC and what buyers should know before spending over ₹2 lakh.
Initial tests have revealed QLC memory in the iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB. Under heavy load, write speeds drop, but the 512GB variant with TLC chips maintains a consistent pace. So which one should you choose?
Did you think that the best thing for performance is to buy an iPhone 18 Pro with 1 TB of storage or more, perhaps a bit like iPads where you get more RAM in the models with the most storage? Well, that doesn't apply to this year's models in all cases, due to the use of QLC (Quad-Level Cell)-based NAND chips. When the intermediate storage of the iPhone 18 Pro Max 1 TB disappears, so does the performance. Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max is the fastest …
iPhone 18 Pro Max writes slower than cheaper microSD in tests, but only in one case
The 1TB storage space of iPhone 18 Pro Max has encountered an unexpected test. The HOMOLAB test shows that when the cache is exhausted, the writing speed of the QLC flash drive will drop to a level that can hardly be called a flagship. During normal tasks, this problem is barely noticeable: the fast SLC […]
iPhone 18 Pro Max storage can drop lower than a hard drive at 1.1 MB/s during heavy writes — QLC NAND offers higher capacity but reportedly suffers 38% drop compared to TLC-based Pro
Apple's use of QLC NAND allows the iPhone 18 Pro Max to offer higher storage capacity, but Homolab's testing highlights the potential performance trade-off under sustained writes.
