Mac Studio

But after a warranty is expired? At minimum, Apple should provide the utility to end users, which registers SSD modules to the hardware, and if they are willing to void their own warranty, let them install 3rd party modules.

They can't though, at least not if they don't want to deal with some friction. Attempts to claim that doing typical user repairs void the warranty have been successfully challenged, e.g., claims that removing stickers voids warranties. So, if you make something user replaceable you really can't claim that replacing it voids the warranty.

that if you swap storage between two Mac Studios, and then do a DFU restore, the storage works just fine. So that's an interesting result.

Well, a new direction from Apple, you dont own the hardware anymore. You rent it as a hardware subscription. Starts with iphones 1st. Great way to avoid right to repair again:

This is correct.
Tried it personally on Mac studio and it works with Samsung ssd @ the same size/capacity

“To the you’ll own nothing and be happy crowd…” lol. Funny. Saw his discussion on Timcast IRL. Interesting guy.

I cannot stand the Max Tech guy.

+1, make it +100…
He must be the most obnoxious, so called tech guy on YouTube

Ugh... I don't know exactly why that is... but when he does that half giggling speech type of thing he always does I feel the urge to downvote the video just for that

Philosophically, I agree with Louis Rossmann 100%.
Realistically, however, we already treat technology as if it's leased. We upgrade phones every 2 years and computers every 3 or 4. For some people, it's every 2 years or less. We already trade in our phones, and if you're with Apple, computers, too. We pay for them on payment plans which in fact is better for most people than buying them outright in one lump sum.

Lots of people do this with cars already. They lease a car and trade it in for a new one after a couple years. It makes sense for people who upgrade to newer models frequently. It saves you the hassle of selling or trading in, and you end up paying the same or even less, since people who buy their cars on a loan outright spend most of the time upside down.

I don't think Apple will switch to a lease-only model. But for people who upgrade to the latest technology frequently, it actually would come out to being cheaper and less hassle.
