Is the hard drive soldered or upgradeable?

With all of the cheap M.2 / PCIe SSD options now available, I’m curious if this is upgradeable. I spent the money on the 32GB of ram knowing it would probably be soldered on, curious if the hard drive can be upgraded.

Answer this question I have this problem too

No, everything is soldered and encrypted with the new T-series chip, forget about upgrading this device EVER.

although you do have the option of Thunderbolt 3 external drives, which should be just as fast.

As far as I know, Apple never offered a hard drive on this MacBook Pro model.

The SSD is decidedly soldered to the mainboard though.
