    “People” = literally one guy who has the tools and skills to disassemble an SSD board. Sure, it does leave the door open to third parties doing this as a service. Kinda jumping the gun on this though.

      From the article this has lead a group to reverse engineer the proprietary board and start a Kickstarter to make it more accessible, which is pretty exciting (hopefully Apple doesn’t find a way to kill it)

        I’m stunned that they slammed Apple like this.

          Lol I love that someone downvoted us. We are joking about the same exact symptom the top comment is referring to: ridiculous article premises and silly titles.

            Meh, I don’t care how the votes turn out. I don’t post for upvotes.

    Apple is literally like that landlord who’s stingy about turning the heating on… but with storage

      They know people will massively overpay for storage. Their entire company history has been severely overcharging for memory and storage space.

        It’s why I bought Apple stocks long before I bought any Apple products. I had faith in Apple consumers.

    Good! Much as I begrudge apple as a company, I’m glad users are still finding ways to upgrade and maintain the tech they use
