DigiTimes is reporting that both Hynix Semiconductors and Samsung Electronics are seeing difficulties securing sufficient stock of NAND flash as Apple orders increasing amounts.

The Taiwanese publication writes that both Hynix and Samsung have begun reserving larger amounts of NAND flash for Apple starting in July, this is resulting in supply strains to other customers.

Both Hynix and Samsung had informed their customers in late June that supply in July will be constrained, citing the fact that Apple is about to pre-stock NAND flash to meet the coming seasonal upturn. writes the DigiTimes.
