Will a MacBook Pro M1 be upgradeable with M2?

Apple launched its new MacBook Pro with M2 chip. One of the first impressions we had with this device is that it is exactly the same as its version with M1

whose only difference is in the processor of each.

This could be confirmed thanks to the new video of the youtubeur Luke Miani, which showed the components of both devices

and they are exactly the same. For this reason, the content creator has taken it upon himself to show his audience if it is possible to update the processors. We leave you the video below:

Despite the similarities and technical precision, failed upgrade from M1 chip to M2 chip, at least for now. Indeed, the computer simply does not turn on and even hangs, such as when you want to change the Touch ID component on Apple devices.

miani was able to change the components again, and the computers turned on without a hitch. The conclusion of the youtuber is that these parts are possibly protected by serial numbers, which prevents them from being exchanged in various workshops, although he believes that with more knowledge this feat can be achieved.
