Just had a weird conversation with a local Apple Authorised Seller.



Wanted to replace the 8GB RAM in my 2017 iMac with at least 16GB or 32GB RAM



This is the content of an email I received:

"As your device is relatively new, we are unable

to supply the RAM to upgrade the device as an Apple Authorized Service Provider

until the device is considered a vintage unit. This means simply that we cannot

supply the RAM components for your desired upgrade until the device is 7 years

old. We are however able to install the RAM that you purchase and supply however,

into your iMac. "

So Apple won't supply the memory unless it's faulty and will replace like for like but won't supply it to upgrade ?!?!



Anyone come across this bizarreness before ?
