Are M1 MacBooks immune to such treachery? Only time will tell.

However, this is the first time someone has bested an M1 Mac Mini. Mac mini comes in three standard models: a 1.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.7 GHz, 4GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics 5000 and a 500GB hard drive starting at a suggested retail price of 499 (US) a 2.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.

Many intrepid modders have gone down this path before, such as YouTube content creator Strange Parts, who successfully managed to upgrade his iPhone 6s' storage from 16GB to 128GB with relative ease.
Put the system on an external Samsung t3 500gb SSD and they love it. Upgraded the 2012 to 16gb which only cost 65. Just couldnt give them the 2014 4gb machine, for some reason it just feels slower than the 2012. This isn't the first time such an endeavour has been attempted, though. I had a 2014 base and 2012 base mini and wanted to give one to my daughters family at Christmas.

Once Apple gets wind of their transgressions, it will almost certainly prevent such modifications via a future software update. However, the modder's success will likely be short-lived. How they managed to get it past Apple's 'secure enclave' is anybody's guess. The modders successfully managed to upgrade the 8GB module on an M1 Mac Mini to 16GB, and the 256GB NVMe SSD with a 1TB version without any hiccups. Apparently, all one needs is a desoldering station, steady hands, and loads of patience. Then again, several Windows laptops such as Microsoft Surfacebooks also come with soldered RAM, so it isn't just Apple doing it.Ī few Chinese modders discovered a rather simple workaround for the soldered parts conundrum on their M1 Mac Mini. The same holds for Apple's newly-released M1 MacBooks and Mac Mini. I am just curious how future MacOS updates via App Store will be installed. MacBooks have been long reviled for their soldered components, which makes upgrading any storage/memory component virtually impossible. Thanx for the article, really, really helpful I consider installing Mavericks on an external SSD drive connected via Thunderbolt to my Mac Mini (Late 2012) and booting MacOS X from it.
