A few days ago the International Business Times reported that 128 GB iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users were facing frequent crashing and rebooting issues. At that time, it was revealed that most of the iPhone models came with multi-level cell, or MLC, NAND flash, whereas the 128 GB iPhone 6 handsets were shipped with triple-level cell, or TLC, NAND flash. Apple has learned about the issues and a major update may happen soon, according to GforGames.

According to GforGames, a new report states that even 64 GB devices with TLC NAND flash storage are also encountering the same issue. The TLC NAND flash present on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus has been built by an Israeli company called Anobit, which is owned by Apple.

Since Apple has been using MLC NAND flash in most of its products, the Cupertino company may reportedly consider using MLC instead of TLC. The TLC NAND flash memory comes at a cheaper price and it can store 1.5 times additional data compared with MLC NAND flash. However, the issue with TLC is the slow reading and writing speeds. According to GforGames, Apple will most likely ship 64 GB and 128 GB iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets with MLC NAND storage in the future.

As far as people who have already bought 64 GB and 128 GB iPhone 6 models are concerned, Apple will reportedly try to deliver faster reading and writing speeds through the upcoming iOS 8.1.1 update. Even though it has not been confirmed by Apple, there were earlier rumours that the Cupertino company is considering a major recall for the affected devices. However, since the issue can be fixed by an iOS 8.1.1 update, a recall may not happen, according to GforGames.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were announced and released in September. However, since then both handsets have been affected by several issues like the bendgate problem, failed iOS 8.1 update in which users suffered connectivity issues, and now both the variants of iPhone 6 with 64 GB and 128 GB storage are plagued with frequent crashing and rebooting. Apple has yet to officially comment on the crashing and rebooting issues and come up with solutions for the affected users.
