iPhone Storage Upgraded to 512 GB | iPhone 6S and iPhone 7

Today we have done two iPhone storage upgrades at the same time. 

iPhone 6S from 16 GB to 512 GB and iPhone 7 from 32 GB to 512 GB.

Sometimes there are few foreigners who come here for this service. They can't see this kind of service available in their country.

The left iPhone 7 owner is a pilot. He visits our store while stopping in Malaysia. 

Don't laugh at the old iPhone 6S, It can be a super photo album that stores more photos than your iPhone.

Memory storage that big can be useful for vbloggers. They need a lot of storage for videos.

Which iPhone support to 512 GB?

• iPhone SE
• iPhone 6S
• iPhone 6S Plus
• iPhone 7
• iPhone 7 Plus

Yes... Even the iPhone X is unable to support 512 GB.

iPhone Data Recovery | Apple Center Can't Backup damaged iPhone

This article is about what we can offer for data recovery service from a damaged iPhone.

Because I just received a feedback from a very kind customer.

She had an iPhone 6 that is badly damaged and need to recover the data. She visited the Apple Center they told her the data is unable to recover, but they can replace it with another device instead of repairing it. The price is outrageous. 

I must say this again

"There is no Apple Service Center or Apple Repair Center.

There are only Apple Replacement Center."

As a real iPhone Data Recovery Center, we can offer 3 options:

1. We borrow the parts just to let it works for backup or transfer. Then we take our parts back once it's done. No repair needed. We charge RM50 or RM80 depends on the model.
2. We repair it all. 
3. Repair until it can be turned on for bringing back your home to backup. (Suitable for motherboard problem)

In the end, she picked option 2 to save the environment getting worse by dumping more electronics stuff. Noble thought! 

By the way, I still seeing a lot of shops they called themselves a specialist but they are very hungry and not going to offer option 1.

Apple Certified Technician? ACiT

"We are Apple Certified iOS Technicians. Anyone can be one too."
Get a Tech ID and then pay $20 take and pass the SVC-19, then the Apple Certified iOS Technician (ACiT)" 

Apple Certified iOS Technician, certified by Apple. It is easy to do, open resource, and frankly--quite dumb. It's just an online exam. 

Truth about Apple Certified Technician

It's so hilarious seeing some repair shop showing this so-called ACiT Apple Certified Technician to the customers.

"Pandai cari makan."

I tell you the truth.
Even for the Apple Technician that working inside the center, they can't repair the job I do every day such as motherboard problem and data recovery.

One of my reason that not want to be authorized Apple Service Center because they DO NOT allow us to repair anything that beyond screwdrivers can do. Especially soldering.

They only allow screwdrivers job to replace parts. Such as Battery or LCD replacement.
If a bigger problem then needs to requests a replacement of the same model which all the memory data can't be saved.

This is not a real repair.

I'm more like "True Repair Art" instead of "Replacement Art"

In the end, I just wanted to say...
Apple Certified Technician NOT helping

Upgrade iPhone Speed | Hardware speed up iPhone

Speed up your iPhone by hardware modification

I'm sure from what you know or someone told you that the iPhone speed is can't be upgraded. But I'm saying the otherwise.
I'm NOT talking about software tune-up shit. I'm talking about the hardware upgrade just like a computer by adding more RAM, change CPU or SSD.


Today I would like to share how the speed upgrade is possible. But the works can be only carried by an expert like me.

Because I get the non-stop people asking me this question:
"Is it the bigger storage of the iPhone and it will be lagger (slow)?"
The answer is NO.
Because the speed is entirely up to the memory chip.
Exactly like you buying a memory SDcard that have many different brand and speed.

And the memory chip of the iPhone is called NAND flash. As I said many times before, Apple doesn't make storage. They take the supplies from Sandisk, Toshiba, Hynix, or Samsung.

I know you guys expect all iPhone hardware is the totally same performance compare to the same model, but now I tell you it is NOT. That's why sometimes your friend's iPhone runs better than yours. Not only in terms of speed. The cellular or network performance is also different. You never know what you bought. Different batch and location can have differences.   

So back into topic.
Apple is smart... or I can say the manufactures of NAND too. They use a lower grade of NAND which is slower speed for 16/32 GB.

Lower Tech = Cheaper Cost

Below is the comparison of 32GB and 256GB NAND.
The speed test is based on the iPhone 6S with A9 CPU running PCIe.

32GB speed test

256GB speed test

As you can see from above.
32 GB is running an average speed of 48 MB/s (384Mbps)
256 GB is running an average speed of 67 MB/s (536Mbps)

It's about 40% speed increased

The photo I show is only the writing speed. I believe the reading speed is much more but I want to keep this article short.

So I'm not bothering to explain TLC and MLC different. Because what I'm doing today is to tell you that by changing the storage of the iPhone or iPad, the speed can be upgraded as well.

Please don't think the Toshiba is slower. Other brands are also slow if they are the low capacity storage type (16GB or 32GB).

BUT

don't expect it's a very noticeable speedup. Because a lot of works are still depending on the CPU and the RAM especially when it comes to multitasking.

Summary

The speed difference is noticeable for video editing, loading a bunch of photos, compressing a file before sending, loading game time decrease, transferring between PC, backup and more...

Have you seen 512 GB iPhone 6S selling in Apple?

What about 6S with 256 GB?
