The amount of corporate abuse apple does to its own customers with proprietary ram, SSD and other solutions is just terrible. SSD are not the best on the market and yet are 5-6 times more expensive, ram probably is the same.

[@utubekullanicisi]

Soldering down the RAM, especially if it's LPDDR RAM like the ones Apple uses, has real end user-facing advantages. Soldering down the SSD is the real obvious problem.

[@leetkhan]

@@utubekullanicisiwhy not give user an option to choose ? Like they give for choosing ram and other things. I’d surely sacrifice whatever advantages are there with non removable parts for a mac which I can upgrade fix easily

[@ser_igel]

@@leetkhan choose what? to solder or not to solder? there are no advantages of soldering down SSD apart from you needing to pay for the whole motherboard when your SSD dies

ram really shouldn't fail but the SSD can and will fail at some point

Brilliant presentation, very well put together IMO. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and the tremendous effort you endured. Fabulous!

[@zizlog_sound]

I would appreciate Apple’s approach of soldering everything in if, the components lasted forever - but they don’t. Let alone the option of upgrading SSD or RAM if so desired.

[@KellogsFerns]

For SSD and RAM obviously we need to prepare for car money, because it seems those upgrades or repairs cost as much as a car.

[@Chopper153]

It would've been fine if Apple just soldered normal NVMe protocol SSDs and used a a seperate highly durable ROM for Intel UEFI/iBoot 2. But Apple intentionally uses NAND with proprietary firmware in RAID 0 to stop any possible repairs. They're openly anti-repair and hostile to consumers, so anyone who buys theit products deserve this treatment.

[@sobottrachhuth75]

Planned obsolescence, and also getting you to spend more money. if you want 32gb of ram instead of 16gb they want $400, if you want 1TB instead of 512gb SSD they want $400, and people will pay for it. So the best thing you can do really, is buy apple stocks and not their products :)

[@zizlog_sound]

@@Chopper153 , I wouldn't say everyone who buys their products deserves this treatment. Back in 2014 I bought an iPad and several months later a MBP, not knowing anything about the repairability or upgrade ability of these devices. I only learned about it over the years. Only recently, I needed to replace the MBP's battery with some effort, the SSD is proprietary but replacing 256GB with 512GB will do for a while, and luckily I decided for a 16GB RAM model at the time of purchase. Well, in regards to the iPad, it's a different story. I just learned, that it's impossible to upgrade the OS or install an app, whose minimum OS version is above the installed OS version. My conclusion: If Apple doesn’t change and they probably won't for profits sake, I won't buy any of their products. First of all, I keep using what I got as long as technically possible.

[@Cinconegativoprimeiro]

[@Chopper153]

The amount of engineering that goes into making Apple hardware as anti-repair and anti-consumer as possible is amazing. They could've easily used NVMe storage on their thicker MacBook pro and Mac Studio desktop but went with the proprietary options just make people pay thousands of $ for storage upgrade. iSheeps are ok with this robbery, so who am I to complain lol.

[@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy]

I'm on a Windows laptop right now but as of now in regards to music production a Macbook is a better option. I too consider them iSheeps but soon or later I will buy a Mac anyway. It's a good (and expensive) product.

[@SxEshawn]

I don't know I thought they were but on MacRumors forum they say they have to do all this cause of the like design, form function, and whatnot. I'm still skeptical but think they don't care regardless.

[@bsenka]

I don't know any Mac users that are OK with this. It's just one of the things we begrudgingly put up with in order to use MacOS. In portables, we're less worried about it because we already expect solid state in a tablet, so a laptop isn't that much different. But in the desktops? No. Nobody wants this at all. That the new Mac Pro is all solid state is a huge fail.

[@aguiremedia]

Just because people buy them doesn’t make them “sheep”. You got way to much hate for the people getting screwed. Point is other computers are trash and windows is trash. There’s isn’t many options

[@panzer3279]

@@aguiremedia "Windows is trash"-- this is a subjective opinion. For me, macOS is trash, that OS doesn't even have basic window management. "You got way to much hate for the people getting screwed"-- People willingly buying non-repairable e-waste = sheep. "Point is other computers are trash"-- Who tf are you to say that? My current desktop is much more powerful than Apple's latest e-waste desktop (Mac Pro) and and also costs less. I could care less what Apple does, it's you who will get screwed when that cheap NAND flash in your mac fails. If the SSD in my PC fails, I'll just replace it in 5 minutes.

This is the reason why I’m not getting an M laptop any time soon. Until they give us replaceable SSDs, I am not buying any Mac from Apple. I understand RAM soldering (faster access, shorter traces, etc) but SSD soldering??? SSDs die like batteries die. They are consumable and they die over time. That’s why TBW is important when buying a used Mac. You can’t replace that crap.

Of course you are selling a product, so I need to hear from independent sources how well it works, but this sounds like a game changer.

This is the very reason I swapped out our 2018 intel Mac mini for a self built PC for our church presentation computer. Luckily ProPresenter 7 now works just as good on the pc as it does the mac. I have 2x2tb Cardea nvme drives with one being cloned to the other every week. If one dies, we can immediately swap to booting off the other with little to no data loss and then spend $120 and replace the one that died if it's out of the 5yr warranty.

Anything exposed to electricity will fail eventually, not after 10 Yiiiiieears, but at anytime. Important to have AppleCare+ on your expensive unit to avoid this, but there is now an option.

Maybe people should get together and massively ask the European commission to force manufacturers to include replaceable SSD/RAM spaces in order to extend the life of the device and generate less electronic waste. This forced Apple to finally insert USB C into the iPhone, perhaps it was a good idea. After all, this is a reality, manufacturers are increasingly finding ways to make computers disposable to generate more sales. If anyone knows how to send a proposal to the European Commission that would be great! We could campaign online for everyone to send a single email asking for this. imagine the whole world sending just 1 email? It would be a genius war against Apple. 😈

[@leoceoliveira]

Great idea 💡

[@HarryFortyTwo]

sadly it seems that none lf the tech savy people do know how to get in contact with the eu commission or parliament, otherwise that would already have happened. while the eu focuses on usb-c for loading, they seem to have zero idea of the anount of waste being generated by soldered ssds.

[@dimples282]

Great research. That was a truly entertaining watch and now that LTT/iFixit failure makes total sense. But I do have to say, it is needlessly a pain in the rear on the part of Apple's engineers to mandate that the firmware of the NAND chips (and in the case of Studio/Pro, the chips that live on the SSD kits), when there's two completely identical looks-like-M.2-but-isn't-actually-M.2 sockets, has to be programmed for one or the other socket when everything from their appearance right down to functionality is also completely identical. And it's outright stupid to slap iBoot on NAND right next to userland and trusting that nothing bad will ever happen to it there (be it by accident or a malicious actor), instead of say keeping it on-chip in the main SoC. Because as much as the SMCs and BIOS/UEFI chips of old sucked in their own ways, at least problems with both of those were far easier to deal with in comparison to this gongshow introduced with T2 and later. That, and it'd allow Apple to keep that inaccessible boot device/question mark folder functionality around so users know to run for their Time Machine backup.

[@_modiX]

About the T2: If we have the firmware copied, I can imagine that it would be possible to design a board to convert an NVMe controller to 4 NANDs firmware to solve this problem for the best. So sad to discover the T2 is so hard to replace storage with. :/ Also: Can't you check the lifespan of a NAND with the reader before re-program it and overwriting its lifespan value?

[@JuanjoNarive]

I refuse to use any computer with soldered and paired storage. iMac 2019 is the last model I would use from Apple until things change. I can not afford to lose access to all of the NANDs when only one is failing and lose all my work, and for me, online backups are not an option since I handle TB size projects.

[@emteiks]

You're crushing the topic! Well done. And we must admit that Apple is a mean company indeed to mess so much with these NANDS so much and do not allow for easy fix/upgrade. My next laptop will not be from Apple because of this.

This video is boom! Very well consolidated and presented, it is interactive with these very hard to swallow/complicated information. This video deserves an award. Well done!!! After some due diligent and watching this video, I believe Apple did not mass produce or sell the NANDs themselves yet is because they wanted to monopolise the market and make profit first while they still can. Although, they have already pocketed more than enough profits to date. They would still like to make their ROI looks promising and keeping up with the R&D for future upgrades. If the manufacturer started mass produce these, eventually we might have issue with fakes and defective NANDs flooding the market. Not only this will create a big mess for them to repair or sell, it will affect their market share big time. Just like how there are so many fake/defective Sdcards on the market right now. 10 times slower writing speed for 10 times cheaper the price.

I'd love an apple but I just hate the anti repair policy they have implemented, obviously they do it for a reason and that reason is they want to charge as much as humanly possible for their stuff. But here's an idea, why not just charge a lot for the base unit and let people put whatever ssd they want in there? Because they know the ssd is the most likely thing to fail and so built in obsolescence rather than being able to keep a great computer running for longer. I just bought a used dell laptop cheap and the ssd failed after 4 months , I ordered one for £65 1tb samsung, slotted it in took about 10 mins and installed win11 all done.

Soldering SSD guarantees those Macs will fail over time. To make it worse, they use proprietary standards in their NAND firmware as well as use what appears as locking codes to dissuade transplanting, whereas decades of juggling in the PC world built standards to make nearly all parts interchangeable, but Apple clearly does it to lock its hardware to its own ecosystem and keep their profits high. The labor to unsolder the chips and convert it to a M.2 slot will save a lot of Mac lives, but it will cost a lot, but I guess cheaper than buying a new one. Kudos to the good work!
