   Are you expecting half a chip? Maybe a quarter of it?

   Usually. Sometimes the NAND dies on it's own, other times the power control   
   IC is responsible for the failure. These aren't the only ways this result   
   can happen though. Apple has all kinds of ... interesting little circuit   
   designs under the hood that can fail in spectacularly catastrophic ways. I   
   don't know what their QC focuses on as much, but, I'm reasonably certain   
   it's not internal circuit design or layout. I don't think they care much   
   about that as long as it works - going by some of the things I've seen.
