      It would've been fine if Apple just soldered normal NVMe protocol SSDs and used a a seperate highly durable ROM for Intel UEFI/iBoot 2. But Apple intentionally uses NAND with proprietary firmware in RAID 0 to stop any possible repairs. They're openly anti-repair and hostile to consumers, so anyone who buys theit products deserve this treatment.

    • @sobottrachhuth75

      Planned obsolescence, and also getting you to spend more money. if you want 32gb of ram instead of 16gb they want $400, if you want 1TB instead of 512gb SSD they want $400, and people will pay for it. So the best thing you can do really, is buy apple stocks and not their products :)

      @@Chopper153 , I wouldn't say everyone who buys their products deserves this treatment.
      Back in 2014 I bought an iPad and several months later a MBP, not knowing anything about the repairability or upgrade ability of these devices. I only learned about it over the years.
      Only recently, I needed to replace the MBP's battery with some effort, the SSD is proprietary but replacing 256GB with 512GB will do for a while, and luckily I decided for a 16GB RAM model at the time of purchase.
      Well, in regards to the iPad, it's a different story. I just learned, that it's impossible to upgrade the OS or install an app, whose minimum OS version is above the installed OS version.
      My conclusion: If Apple doesn’t change and they probably won't for profits sake, I won't buy any of their products. First of all, I keep using what I got as long as technically possible.

      I don't know any Mac users that are OK with this. It's just one of the things we begrudgingly put up with in order to use MacOS. In portables, we're less worried about it because we already expect solid state in a tablet, so a laptop isn't that much different. But in the desktops? No. Nobody wants this at all. That the new Mac Pro is all solid state is a huge fail.

      This is the reason why I’m not getting an M laptop any time soon. Until they give us replaceable SSDs, I am not buying any Mac from Apple. I understand RAM soldering (faster access, shorter traces, etc) but SSD soldering??? SSDs die like batteries die. They are consumable and they die over time. That’s why TBW is important when buying a used Mac. You can’t replace that crap.

So sad to discover the T2 is so hard to replace storage with. :/ Also: Can't you check the lifespan of a NAND with the reader before re-program it and overwriting its lifespan value?

    Great research. That was a truly entertaining watch and now that LTT/iFixit failure makes total sense. But I do have to say, it is needlessly a pain in the rear on the part of Apple's engineers to mandate that the firmware of the NAND chips (and in the case of Studio/Pro, the chips that live on the SSD kits), when there's two completely identical looks-like-M.2-but-isn't-actually-M.2 sockets, has to be programmed for one or the other socket when everything from their appearance right down to functionality is also completely identical. And it's outright stupid to slap iBoot on NAND right next to userland and trusting that nothing bad will ever happen to it there (be it by accident or a malicious actor), instead of say keeping it on-chip in the main SoC. Because as much as the SMCs and BIOS/UEFI chips of old sucked in their own ways, at least problems with both of those were far easier to deal with in comparison to this gongshow introduced with T2 and later. That, and it'd allow Apple to keep that inaccessible boot device/question mark folder functionality around so users know to run for their Time Machine backup.

    Thank you for the brilliant extensive video you prepared. Much appriciated!
    But I want to make sure of something. You said that it is not possible to replace first generation m1 nands with models like m1 pro or m1 max, because one is from the blue region while the other from the green region in the table. I get that. But isn't there color regions for t2 macs as well? is it possible to replace any t2 mac nand in between them? So can I for example move nands from macbook air 13" 2018 to work in macbook pro 16" a2141 for example? In other words assuming the landing rules are satisfied, is it possible to swap nands from different boards having diferent board ids and have them work without programming them if they are all t2 chipped boards? Thank you in advance.

    Apple had NAND socket in their prototype M1 MacBooks, and they don't in production models! Thanks for that info. I think Apple did that to increase prototype testing and save production cost. However, to pressure Apple to put NAND socket in production MacBooks, users need to be aware and demand to make it happen. Otherwise, no-one will ask, and Apple will keep doing what they do.

    I refuse to use any computer with soldered and paired storage. iMac 2019 is the last model I would use from Apple until things change. I can not afford to lose access to all of the NANDs when only one is failing and lose all my work, and for me, online backups are not an option since I handle TB size projects.

    According to your chart NAND from A2337 can be used on A2338 I installed 512Gb from A2337 on a A2338 but I get error 4014 when restoring, if I put original NAND back all works fine and restore gives no errors.

  • @Enchancher

    Maybe just to clarify. In case one of my NAND Chips in a M1 computer breaks and it is not possible to restore the firmware of this single NAND, the NAND Chips can replaced through a full set of NAND's from a different Logic Board without reprogramming with JC just through Apple Configurator? Or do the new set of NANDS has to completely be reprogrammed with the exact same Firmware as the ones before (including the broken ones) because if it works like this the MacBook would be never ever restorable in you can't reach the firmware of the one broken NAND Chip. Thanks in advance for an answer.
    And how is this whole thing behaving in M1 and M2 iPads containing just one NAND Chip. Are they only for disposable if the NAND breaks and you can not copy the NAND's firmware? And is it possible to replace a M1/M2 iPad Pro with a iPhone 13 NAND, technically it is both ARM?

    • @somesituation
      @somesituation ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1) Apple Configurator brings over your device specific firmware from the internet when the donor NAND group is installed, all data on the old failed NAND group is lost and unable to be retrieved. It's a proprietary RAID.
      2) A 256GB M2 iPad would contain 1x 256GB NAND. The NAND could be used for a M2 MacBook Air with 256GB storage. The iPad NAND is ONLY usable on 1x 256GB NAND M2 MacBooks.
      3) No reprogramming method exists for replacement M1 or M2 NAND chips, therefore donor NAND group remain the only option.
      4) If iPad gets replacement NAND, DFU restore just like a T2 or M1 MacBook to return the firmware back to the NAND.
      5) iPhone 13 NAND is the same as iPhone 8 NAND IIRC so same rules apply.

    This video is boom! Very well consolidated and presented, it is interactive with these very hard to swallow/complicated information. This video deserves an award. Well done!!!
    After some due diligent and watching this video, I believe Apple did not mass produce or sell the NANDs themselves yet is because they wanted to monopolise the market and make profit first while they still can. Although, they have already pocketed more than enough profits to date. They would still like to make their ROI looks promising and keeping up with the R&D for future upgrades.
    If the manufacturer started mass produce these, eventually we might have issue with fakes and defective NANDs flooding the market. Not only this will create a big mess for them to repair or sell, it will affect their market share big time. Just like how there are so many fake/defective Sdcards on the market right now. 10 times slower writing speed for 10 times cheaper the price.

  • @destrierofdark_
    @destrierofdark_ ปีที่แล้ว

    two questions.
    1: what was that about the ocarina chip? mind elaborating on that?
    2: have you tried to flash the firmware out of an iphone's nand chip to another chip, and using that chip, alone as it was supposed to be in the iphone, in a macbook? or are the chips different in some way between iphones/macbooks

    • @iBoffRCC
      @iBoffRCC  ปีที่แล้ว

      1. Both 00-port and 01-port are enabled by the presence of the ocarina chip. When you cut/remove the 3.3v supply to this chip, the chip will turn off and thus the Port is turned off. In this case we want to turn off the 01-port.
      2. We never tried it yet, but we believe iphone NAND from iphone 8-12 is called S4E(like in T2 mac), and starting iphone 13 it is called S5E(like for M1). Technically they might be compatible to each other but the firmware inside it must be different

    @iBoffRCC when it comes to installing only 4 NANDs onto an 820-01700 board which originally had 5, you mentioned to remove the buck converter IC from the other wing.
    Just the 2 power ICs or all the parts surrounding these as well please?

    • @iBoffRCC
      @iBoffRCC  ปีที่แล้ว

      You dont even have to remove the ocarina or tps62180. Ocarina will send enable signal to tps62180, so cutting off 3v3 supply for the ocarina is enough, and you can find a 3v3 bridge resistor for this. Who knows in future you want to install more than 5 NANDs on the other wing.
