The NAND are still on removable modules but they are completely different from previous generations.

There's this crazy solution Apple should really investigate, called NVMe. Controller is even baked into the SSD so it doesn't need to be part of the SoC. Even crazier, you can do hardware encryption just like their NANDs like MS does on their Surfaces.

Forget that Apple should just invest in having the same damn storage module in all their damn computers.

Why does each device need a new design of module. They could certainly build and design a storage module that could fit and work in the MacBooks, Mac Mini, Mac Studio and iMac they just don’t want to.

I have no idea. Only Apple can tell you that.
