I didn't even think about that, all the reviewers were in a fury about soldered RAM... and now almost everyone is soldered. It's a shame.
What I really hate is you don't even get the main benefit - high bandwidth and low latency. They are just soldering lpddr5x RAM which doesn't really need to be.
Fairly long history of Apple doing something anti-consumer and then all other manufactures following their lead. Same with non-replacable batteries, no headphone jack, have to pay extra for a charger, etc.
So soldering RAM is all about being “anti consumer” and has nothing to do with the much better bandwidth?
Not to mention that iPhones work with any standard Bluetooth headphones and USV C standard headphones.
