Apparently Apple means serious business. They have just placed a huge order for Samsung NAND flash chips. They want 50 million of them, and that’s an extra order to their 25 million chip order in June. Samsung will reduce supply to all other customers as they will be focusing on their main order from Apple.

In case you were wondering what the NAND flash chips are for, they will be used mainly for iPhones. So how many iPhones does Apple think it will sell? They have ordered so far 75 million from Samsung. They are all 8Gb equivalent NAND flash chips. Let’s see how the iPhone selling goes in the following month. I wonder if Samsung offers refunds for unused chips?

So Samsung, are you offering any salsa with those chips?
