Macronix International and Winbond Electronics have both grabbed NOR flash memory orders for iPhone 5.

According to Digitimes, Macronix International and Winbond Electronics from Taiwan, have both grabbed NOR flash memory orders for the next iPhone, which will be announced in mid-September.

Macronix and Winbond have both responded by saying the companies do not comment on issues concerning individual customers.

For the first batch of the upcoming iPhones, Macronix has secured 70% of the total NOR-chip orders for the upcoming iPhone while Winbond received the remainder.

Macronix is already among the NOR flash suppliers for Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebook series

For Winbond, breaking into the supply chain of Apple could mark a company milestone.
