I just ordered a 2018 MacBook Pro with 15" screen and went with the standard 16 GB of memory. I can't seem to find a direct answer anywhere on the internet for the following question: Is it possible to upgrade this to 32 GB in the future, even if it means paying a fee for Apple to perform the installation?
Problem 1) Except for the new i9 processor available on the latest MacBook Pro, none of the other processors used in MacBook Pro models have the Hardware capability to address more than 16GB of RAM, ever.
Problem 2) For greatly increased reliability, recent MacBook Pro memory and drive components are not in sockets, they are soldered directly to the mainboard using surface-mount technology. No upgrades of RAM Memory or Internal Drives are possible after purchase.
FWIW, even if it were possible, Apple would not do it (and never had done it) - they only repair or replace with the exact same model/function/capacity. You'd need to go to an authorized service provider or do it yourself.
Well you can upgrade, but it means selling the one you have and buying a 32 GB RAM model.
Point of purchase only. User upgradable is a thing of the past.
Upgrade memory on 2018 MacBook Pro?
