Apple stopped upgrading the iPhone Air’s memory by professional users

Apple seems to be restricting users’ ability to upgrade the NAND memory on the iPhone Air, and recent efforts to install new chips with different capacities have been difficult to flash iOS. Memory upgrading and storage has always been one of the areas where Apple receives high prices, and users who did not have enough NAND solder’s solder had virtually no chance.

According to the Technology and Technology News Media News, a video has recently been video on social media that has shown that even professionals cannot identify their chips on the iPhone Air, which probably reflects Apple’s deliberate restriction. The process includes chips with a capacity of 256 GB, 512 GB and even 1TB that the device is unable to detect after installation.

Another professional user tried to upgrade the iPhone Air’s internal memory from 256 GB to 1 terabyte. After opening the device and reaching the main board, he found that the new chip had a different serial number that was not seen in previous models. These chips were not well -known manufacturers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Toshiba or Sandisk, and Apple was likely to use the remaining YMTC remaining inventory because the company is no longer due to Apple’s business restrictions.

The user tried to flash the iOS after removing the original chip and installing the new chip, but the 4014 error occurred and the operation failed. Repeating the process with 512 GB chips and 256 GB did not show any of the consistent chips yet, or Apple deliberately prevents users from promoting memory so that they have to pay higher.

Finally, the tested iPhone Air is now unused because the main chip is cleared. However, the device can be retrieved after the launch of new chips, but long time and failure to succeed will make it an important lesson for users to pay extra for Apple’s official memory instead of risk and avoid trying to promote memory.
