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

      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.
