Performance Considerations - Despite concerns about QLC's performance, the article argues that for typical smartphone usage, the lifespan of QLC storage is sufficient, estimating that a 2TB QLC drive could last nearly 30 years under normal conditions [19][21]. - The use of SLC caching is mentioned as a method to mitigate QLC's slower write speeds, allowing for faster data handling in everyday use [23][24]. Market Implications - The adoption of QLC in smartphones may lead to more affordable high-capacity storage options in the future as supply chains mature [28]. - The article suggests that while consumers may initially be wary of QLC, its integration into devices like the iPhone could ultimately benefit the market by providing larger storage capacities at lower prices [28][29].
