From CNet:
Apple has reportedly ordered 100 million units of 8-gigabit and
16-gigabit NAND flash chips, with the bulk of its order coming from its
main
iPhone chip supplier, Samsung, according to a research report released Monday by a Lazard Capital Markets analyst.

The majority of the sizable order is expected to be applied toward the
16-gigabit NAND, signaling that a 32-gigabyte iPhone is in the works to
debut in June, said Daniel Amir, a Lazard Capital Markets analyst.
An order of 100 million 16-gigabit chips, for example, could
produce roughly 12 million of Apple's 16GB iPhones, far more than the 7
million iPhones Wall Street expects Apple to make in the second
quarter. But the same order of 100 million chips could produce roughly
6 million Apple 32GB iPhones.
