Unlike most other Apple Mac devices, the Mac Studio cannot be easily opened or upgraded. However, a teardown video has showcased that Apple has hidden some upgradability away, although user repairs will be difficult. The same video has also detailed Apple's gigantic M1 Ultra SoC, which dwarves contemporary desktop processors.

It's storage, not memory, you're tech site, you should know that by now.
Or is this another click bite article again?

Are you kidding me? None of them are easily repairable or upgradeable except RAM on some iMacs. Just like Apples phones and all other products they make.
Many if not most people in the right-to-repair movement even state having bad experiences with Apple as the reason they joined the movement. As a journalist you could maybe stick to the truth, Alex.

Almost bet this storage will be tied to Apple only for repairs or upgrades. If indeed you can actually do it. Apple has basically tied all hardware to a device with a on chip security system similar to the Intel T2 chip. So, is the future of Apple silicon just marrying more chips together? I am impressed with the power vs performance but only so much you can gain by piling on more cores.

Isn't this what Intel and AMD are also doing? Even the Ultra has only 16 performance cores. Far from the highest number. The core itself is impressive. And the most impressive thing was the pace. They are already one generation behind their phone chipsets. We'll see what the lifecycle looks like for their computer processors.
