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.

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?
