The people behind the "kingsener" YT channel have been doing these types of upgrades for a long time.

It’s wild to see how much Apple invests in making these as hostile to the user to upgrade. But also cool to see people out there with the skills to desolder the chips, memory, and storage and replace with a much faster alternative.
If Apple truly cared about their carbon footprint, devices would be easily serviceable and upgradeable by user
Apple solves carbon footprint by making devices that you will want to use for at least 10 years.
You mean the company that had several generations of those terrible laptop designs that made you rip out the whole chassis when your keyboard became unusable after dust got into the keys?
New in box after having been stored in a warehouse for twenty years maybe. Apple isn't any greener than any of their competitors.
Shame that they don't support the device for 10 years too.
Being relatively greener than a trash-tier dell laptop doesnt make you a green supplier in absolute terms...
