    Ah it’s cool, you can just open the little door in the back and upgrade the RAM anytime you want.

    Right??

      With a hot air rework station anything is upgradable, laptops, phones, babies… ok not babies, but like lots of other stuff.

        Maybe, in the future, lamps will be permanently wired into house walls. Who even needs outlets? Just buy a new house if you don’t like the lamp anymore.

            Yeah, I get OP’s joke, but “permanent” doesn’t really apply to anything about houses. “Wired into wall” just means you need a screwdriver and a circuit breaker flip to change it, or maybe cutting into wall panels.

          I mean it doesn’t matter if the house around the wiring falls apart first. Most modern construction is like one step above paper mache.

        It’s Apple so they probably do some kind of bullshit key pairing nonsense to prevent you being able to upgrade the RAM even with the soldering iron.

        I really wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not actually possible

          Oh it’s not even close to being user-upgradeable. As in, the RAM module is part of the silicon M3 chipset. You can’t upgrade it because it is literally part of the CPU die.

          Of course, apple could address this by also offering expansion slots that users can install ram in, but that would mean being nice to consumers, which we all know apple is fundamentally opposed to.
