Funnily enough somebody did that for the Studio.
They launched a kickstarter, I congratulated them for it on Macrumors (giles_polysoft) … and shit hit the fan. Apparently they had already tried posting about it, but MacRumors had deleted the post under the rules about self-promotion. Giles thanked me for congratulating him and then complained bitterly about the moderation earning him a suspension and all the posts, including mine, a deletion.
Now I can understand the rules about self-promotion. You don’t want people spamming the forum. On the other hand … this is the sort of thing that normally MacRumors would write up and it is of interest to the community (there are multiple threads about Apple SSDs and replacements, repairs, and upgrades). I felt kind of bad for him.
But yes hopefully Apple continues using this across their product line and we get 3rd party upgrades. Probably a step too far but Apple doing a MFI-like program to officially endorse and grow a 3rd party ecosystem for SSD slots would be nice.
Beat me to it
