    It’d destroy their upsell from 8gb process in one fell swoop.

    There’s a video where someone upgrades the memory of an iPhone by cnc’ing the existing memory chip. So basically using a drill to more or less drill the existing chip to get rid of it. Requires crazy precision.

          So I guess it was UV epoxied after soldering and he put new epoxy on with the new nand. Or something along those lines but the component is soldered in a typical way. The rotary tool being used to pull out the residual phone glue is excellent and I feel like I learned something useful even though I’m never going to do an iPhone ram upgrade.
