Actually no. There’s some pairing trickery going on on the SoC level, so if you change the NAND chips by higher capacity ones without apple’s special sauce, you’ll just get an unbootsble system

And paging in & out of RAM frequently is probably one of the quickest ways to wear out the NAND.

Put it all together and you have a system that breaks itself and can’t be repaired. The less RAM you buy the quicker the NAND will break.

I was under the impression that had been solved by third parties? Or is chip cloning not enough?
