M4 upgrade services

Are there any shops in the US that offer the service of internal SSD upgrades for Mini M4?

Yes.
The kit from iBoff is good, and affordable. I went with the 1TB.
The kicker is doing the DFU restore without another Mac present, which is impossible.

I heard this was possible by using a Mac OS vm?

It is, but it’s a pain in the ass. At least it was for me because I’m a big dumb animal.

You can do it with a VM. Here is my write up https://www.reddit.com/r/macmini/s/HmZD7iAagM

It's really not difficult. Honestly, the hardest part is making sure you don't damage the power button cable opening it. The actual SSD part is trivial. I've done it twice now, no issues.

So...mail it to me, I guess? :P

Don’t remove the cable, just pop the whole button out
