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?
"Do it yourself" is not really an option any more. Surface-mount technology means you need some very specialized tools, including a board-heater that runs upwards of US$2,000. and special soldering irons as well. There is also a slight risk it may never work again.
This situation is like upgrading the engine in a car to the bigger engine that was available as an option when the car was new.
While this is also possible, it is so expensive you are far better off converting your current working device into Cash (by selling it) and buying a different (new or used) model that better meets your needs.
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?
