Chinese engineers cracked Apple's M1 chip and successfully upgrade RAM and SSD

What kind of details? It's all pictured really - find the memory or storage chips, replace the chips. It's difficult/impossible without specialised tools, but nice that the OS accepts this modification without throwing a wobbly.

And this remind us the future of Apple Desktop Personal Computing with No upgrade or serviceable parts. Along with insane Mark Up of RAM and Storage.

The only good thing is the possibility of a 12" MacBook Air at $799 in the near future.

There's not much evidence that any upgrade actually happened. The photo show someone has managed to desolder the RAM & SSD chips, which isn't really news.

Also, looks like they only upgrade the 8GB/256SSD to 16G/1TB SSD, which is a supported configuration, so at best this is someone skilled at soldering BGA parts.

I'd be more interested if someone had managed to get 32GB RAM working.
