The most practical, ancient and effective method that increases the amount of memory on an iPhone is a flash drive for storage from the global manufacturer SanDisk. At first glance, the method of solving the problem will seem ridiculous and ineffective, but it works. Of course, many questions arise about how an iPhone can read a drive of this type?

This connection is made using a wireless connection. Therefore, the client will be able to have a personal pocket cloud and at the same time increase the memory capacity to 200 Gigabytes.

For such purposes, a special SanDisk is manufactured, which opens up the following opportunities for users:

• provides quick access to photos, videos and other files;
• makes it possible to stream videos;
• copy and transfer data using classic media type.

The flash drive has a USB 3.0 input. They produce a so-called stick with memory capacities of 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 200GB. They sell the miracle device, of course, at a high price, but $28 will not bring the client a new iPhone.

Wi-Fi Drives

Another way to increase iPhone memory is a storage device with Wi-Fi. Such drives are connected via Wi-Fi. You need to install an application on your phone that will move through the file system and synchronize them.

This wireless storage device is a relatively new device, so it doesn’t have many analogues; they need to be constantly charged, since the battery lasts for a couple of hours.

Cloud storage

In the case when a mobile device is used at home, a cafe, or an office with a Wi-Fi connection, it would be relevant to use cloud storage, for example, Dropbox. This application should be downloaded and installed on your phone. You can connect via Wi-Fi or mobile Internet.

The advantage of this method is that the storage facilities make it possible to obtain the desired information from anywhere in the world, which is convenient and practical.

Modern people who actively follow the latest events and try to keep up with the times are often interested in the emergence of new developments.

The well-known and beloved Apple brand releases new phone models that are in great demand.

Sometimes it turns out that the phone does not have enough memory. Therefore, we have to be content with the least. But experts will tell you how you can achieve the desired result and increase your memory within a few minutes.

The maximum configuration of the iPhone allows you to record all events on the device due to the presence of sufficient memory. However, not every buyer can spend huge amounts of money on purchasing their favorite model with a large memory. In order to get high memory, you do not need to use an external flash drive or other storage device. Experts share secrets on how to change the memory chip and thus make changes.

Increasing the memory capacity is carried out by changing the memory chip, which is designated by the series (NAND-Flash).

Thanks to this system, the process of changing memory occurs quite quickly. Naturally, you will not have any unnecessary problems. But it should be taken into account that when carrying out actions, you will need to make careful VGA soldering.

Since in this version a new microcircuit is flashed. Since without a microcircuit, the iPhone will not function. Therefore, when carrying out this process, you will need to install the latest iOS software. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the possible amounts of internal memory on the iPhone:

• iPhone 4: 8, 16, 32 GB;
• iPhone 4S: 8, 16, 32, 64GB;
• iPhone 5: 16, 32, 64 GB;
• iPhone 5C: 8, 16, 32GB;
• iPhone 5S: 16, 32, 64 GB;
• iPhone 6 or 6 Plus: 16, 64, 128 GB;
• iPhone 6S, 6S Plus: 16, 32, 64, 128 GB;
• iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: 32, 128, 256 GB

To ensure high-quality operation of your mobile device, you must use only an original chip from the manufacturer Apple. Otherwise, after installing this important element, interference and other problems may arise that will cause a lot of trouble. Increasing the amount of built-in memory is only possible if the device does not have enough space to store additional information.

An important fact to consider is that 5S series cell phones can accommodate a maximum memory of 64 GB. That is, if desired, it is impossible to rearrange it to 128 GB. But if you have a 6 Plus phone model, then you can change the flash memory and raise it to 128.

Using a software system to increase memory

Basically, increasing the amount of built-in memory is necessary to store videos, applications, photos and other important moments that many consumers want to record. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that with active use of a mobile device, memory decreases. Portable Android gadgets are most often equipped with an internal flash drive. Therefore, memory expansion occurs using micro SDHC. Unfortunately, iPhone phone owners do not have such privileges.

Another option is to use a cloud service. This is considered one of the convenient ways to store important information. To avoid copying movies and music from a personal computer, you can use a cloud service. All your videos and photos will be saved on external storage. Using the Dropbox software is very easy and simple. In this case, you will forever forget about the problems of storing information on your mobile device. After all, all files will always be at hand.

Problems are also eliminated with the purchase of an external drive. Owners of iPad and iPhone often use this element. This device can be used after connecting to Wifi. You should not take a regular external HDD with a USB interface. Since you will not be able to find the corresponding connector in the device. And everyone knows very well that a tablet with a wire causes a lot of inconvenience, especially on the road.

The wireless drive can be connected using Wifi. To increase memory, you must install the application. Thanks to this system, you can navigate through the file system, as well as synchronize the corresponding files. With a built-in battery, the drive operates in normal mode. Now, you know how to take steps to increase the memory on your own phone without unnecessary problems.

Year after year, the most popular iPhone model was the one with the smallest amount of memory. Now the Apple iPhone 5 16 Gb is the most popular model on the market in Russia, this conclusion can be made by looking at the offers in Yandex.Market. After a few months of using the phone, users have the question “how to increase memory in iPhone?” There are quite a few tips written on the Internet about how to remove applications that eat up memory and reinstall them, clear the cache and get rid of unnecessary messages. We bring to your attention a hardware solution to increase iPhone memory. The story of how we managed to replace the NAND memory chip in the iPhone 3GS with a more capacious one.

What happens when an iPhone falls on a hard surface? The glass breaks, the case breaks, or, worst of all, the microcircuits come off the motherboard. Got in for repairs iPhone 3GS 8 Gb PCT. The previous owner dropped the device on a tiled floor, after which the device rebooted, but did not reach working condition. The first thing they tried to do was simply reflash it. But that was not the case, during the firmware process a status bar appeared, but was not filled in. The firmware simply could not install on the phone, and iTunes gave: error 1600. Moving the motherboard into a known-good case did no good. It became clear that the problem lay with the motherboard.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that around the memory chip NAND Flash a perimeter crack in the compound. This means that the chip is partially or completely detached from the motherboard. Therefore, the device did not see it and could not start the firmware process. NAND Flash is a large chip, the largest in size on the motherboard. Therefore, removing it and reballing it, rolling the balls under the chip and installing it back is quite risky. If the largest microcircuit could come off the device, then what can we say about the smaller microcircuits? Will they come off the board during the heating process, or will new microcracks appear? During further inspection, no other damage was revealed, and a decision was made to remove the memory chip. We won’t go into the details of the technology for removing BGA chips on a compound, we’ll just tell you about the result.

The chip is half torn off from the board, 2 pads on the motherboard and one on the chip itself are torn off. In the photo under the tweezers one contact is missing. Inspection of the torn pads on the motherboard showed that they are simply fastening pads, that is, signals do not arrive at them. Naturally, there is no point in putting her in her place after a reball.

The solution is simple - remove the chip from a dead board or order it from China. It's good that there is a donor available. There was only one problem. The native memory was made by Toshiba, and the donor memory was made by Samsung, and of various memory sizes. The question arose about an equipment conflict after installation, but in practice it did not arise. After installing the new NAND chip, the phone turned on safely in recovery mode and flashed through iTunes in standard mode. After activation The device has 13.6 GB of memory available, 2 Gb is occupied by iOS. The repair procedure was completed positively, which means that on any iPhone you can increase the memory capacity using this method. However, it should be noted that the process is very complicated from a technical point of view and is associated with a high risk of complete loss of the device’s functionality.

iPhone from Apple is a high-quality, technologically advanced and expensive mobile device. But there is one important point: you cannot increase the built-in memory of the device using memory cards, as can be done in devices with the Android system, since Apple smartphones do not have special slots for cards.

How to increase the amount of internal memory?

Until recently, it was impossible to increase the internal memory on iPhones due to the lack of technical capabilities among domestic craftsmen. Therefore, device owners were forced to be content with the existing volume.

In this case, it was necessary to delete unnecessary content in order to load new one. Using cloud services for storing data is also not always convenient, because the Internet is not always available, and many such services are paid.

But now specialists from the Total Apple service center in Moscow can efficiently and quickly increase the memory capacity of your device by replacing the memory chip itself (NAND-Flash). It contains various programs, operating system, passwords, contact information, address book, messages and other information.

Possible amounts of internal memory in iPhones:

• iPhone 4: 8, 16 or 32 GB
• iPhone 4s: 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB
• iPhone 5: 16, 32 or 64 GB
• iPhone 5s: 16, 32 or 64 GB
• iPhone 5c: 8, 16 or 32 GB
• iPhone 6/6 Plus: 16, 64 or 128 GB
• iPhone 6s/6s Plus: 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB
• iPhone 7/7 Plus: 32, 128 or 256 GB

The process for replacing the memory chip is as follows:

1. A backup copy of the data is created.
2. The smartphone is completely disassembled.
3. Accurate and precise BGA soldering is performed.
4. A new microcircuit is being flashed.
5. The required version of iOS is installed.
6. The smartphone is being assembled.

Also, a similar procedure is used if for some reason the old memory chip fails.

Signs of a broken iPhone memory chip

No one is immune from problems with a mobile device, even the owner of a high-tech iPhone device. A variety of mechanical damage, falls into water, software failures, as well as careless operation and user inattention can cause memory chip malfunctions.

You should recognize the first signs of problems with NAND-Flash:

• the smartphone slows down or gets hot;
• turns on or restarts on its own;
• produces system errors;
• some data is deleted on its own (photos, tracks, contacts, etc.);
• There is not enough available memory to download files.

If such problems occur with the chip, you should immediately contact a technician. After all, this may threaten complete or partial loss of all existing information without the possibility of restoring it.

The technicians of our Total Apple service center will perform free diagnostics and, if necessary, replace the chip in a short time. Our specialists use only original Apple parts and also provide a guarantee on all work performed. With this service, your phone will last for a long time. You can use the free delivery service in Moscow, which will save your time.

In the iPad, as in other portable computers, be it pocket PCs, communicators, smartphones, etc. It has its own flash (for recording its own data) and RAM.

We will now talk about these types of memory, as well as about a device that can be used to read memory cards and connect cameras to the iPad.

RAM

RAM is the memory that stores the commands and data necessary for the processor to execute commands. Simply put, this memory is used by the operating system and programs when we launch them.

All iPads have 256MB of RAM. RAM is built into the Apple A4 processor, and therefore the amount of RAM in the iPad cannot be increased. (Figure below).

Flash memory or memory for our data

Apple provides for its customers iPad versions with different amounts of flash memory, which can be 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, respectively. Some people ask how to increase iPad memory, and does the iPad have a memory card port?

I answer: No way - the iPad’s memory cannot be increased. Flash memory is also soldered into the board, can also be seen in the figure above. The iPad does not have a memory card port. If you want to use the iPad as a kind of multimedia center that is always with you (and it is almost ideal for these needs), then it makes sense to immediately overpay a little and buy yourself a version of the iPad with the maximum amount of memory, that is, 64GB.

Oh, I almost forgot, there are also such interesting gizmos as the iPad Camera Connection Kit, which are sold as an additional accessory for $29, and provide additional functionality for its owner in the form of connecting memory cards and digital cameras and viewing photos taken from them. I think it’s not a bad accessory that will find its buyers.

Knowing Apple's policy towards the iPhone, I think in the future version of the iPad we will see at least twice the RAM, and perhaps support for memory cards will also be implemented. Let's hope so.
