If Apple clearing its stocks and this can’t convince you that the company has the next iPhone cooking, we are not sure what else can, unless you would like to hear about it from El Jobso himself. Similar to what we saw last year before the iPhone 3G debuted, Apple is now amassing a huge number of 8Gb NAND flash chips, and when we say a huge number, think 100 million, which is twice the amount grabbed by Apple last year. A big part of these 8-gigabit chips (combined to achieve the gigabytes of memory that ultimately make their way to our cell phones) are to come from Samsung, straining the flash chip market almost dry for other vendors. Does this mean that we will see a 32GB iPhone come June? If that’s true, we hope that that won’t be the only improvement over the iPhone 3G we are looking for.
