Sure would be nice if I could buy the box and upgrade the RAM when prices drop.

Ya know, like we used to be able to do.

Not gonna happen with Apple’s SOC. But you can upgrade the SSD. I bumped mine to 2TB relatively painlessly with a aliexpress module.

  1. RAM is so expensive now it even eats into Apple’s ridiculous margins
  2. Margins are better on the new laptops and phones and stuff than the Mini and Studio
  3. New Minis and Studios are probably coming later this year

so,

  1. Let the higher-margin, newer devices take the RAM and artificially extend ship dates for non-base configs of Minis and Studios to discourage people from buying what’s about to be a year or two behind in processor technology
