The motherboard and wi-fi module are technically removable as well, though that might affect the system's operation.

Probably wishful thinking given Apple's tiered pricing strategy, but it would be nice.

It is interesting that Apple has its own custom flash controller which macOS and the file system are presumably taking advantage of to manage the raw storage modules.


Planned obsolescence scam in plain sight.
