Apple SSD suppliers are now suffering from major material contamination. These are specifically Kioxia and Western Digital.
Since their NAND production facilities were affected, many experts claimed that the issue could also affect their storage components’ iPhone products.
In late January, Western Digital confirmed that its NAND Flash production lines located in Yokkaichi and Kitami, Japan, were affected.
According to MacRumors’ latest report, this is a major concern since Kioxia and Western Digital are among the leading SSD suppliers.
