Apple Silicon has no doubt changed the game in terms of performance per watt and seamless integration within the Apple Ecosystem; but the new machines have also caused some backsliding in terms of upgradability and repairability. With SOCs, soldered RAM and storage, and serial locked parts, Apple has made it harder than ever to repair your devices. But that changes today. I met up with Collin, aka @dosdude1 , and we're going to provide comprehensive, up to date information on exactly how YOU can upgrade the SSD in your Apple Silicon Mac!!
