where do people go to find the self upgrade parts for macs

[nutter77]

recently ive been sing people grab say an iphone 12 stick 1tb storage and 16gb ram and usbc or a m1 macbook air and upgrade ram to 32gb and 8tb storage with soldering stuff im just curious if it was actually possible to find those parts

would it void my warranty?
is there a way apple could do it for me?
i guess would they be from scrap macs?

ram link

storage link

edit: where can i go to find mac accessories (im in australia)

Definitely not something Apple will do. “Void” warranty, maybe not, but I certainly wouldn’t try it on a brand-new Mac personally.

Just about any internal change you make on a Mac still under warranty is going to void the warranty.

What, specifically, do you want to change?

Hey, my friend (who used to work at Apple and had various MacBook Air for ages) and I have seen these before too. I get that Apple might be trying to get you to spend more on upgrading or customizing your Mac, like those YouTube videos we saw. But, seriously, please don’t mess with the soldering in any way.

It’ll mess up AppleCare + agreement and limited warranty y’all.

Instead, try to find a good deal on a beefed up one from a trusted seller, okay?
