    Will upgrading the storage of my MBP void my warranty?

    I have a Mid-2015 (15-inch) MBP that I got from Best Buy with 256GB. I also got Geek Squad and Apple Care. I have been looking to upgrade my storage (but might also have a shop do it). I was wondering if upgrading will void my warranty. Please help

    Why I selected 64GB rather than 256 GB.

    It wasn’t a money issue, however, I have the 7 Plus 128 and it’s literally the sweet spot. Only thing is that when I went in to the settings to see my usage, I had only used 34 of the 128 GB. I thought it was a glitch since I have over 18,000 photos on my device. But then I remembered that I pay...
