Honestly, it doesn't. You just swap it for a new one and sell the old one.
When you have 8GB, you pay another 8GB and end up with 16.
In this case, you just sell you SoC with 8GB, and but another SoC with 16GB. You'll only pay out the difference.
This is pretty much how you upgrade a relatively recent phone works too.

- WhyNotHugo 6y agoThis is kinda where Apple products thrive. They drop in price very little, and have, ultimately, long lives. iPhone 7s and iPhone 8s are still great low-end devices, and they reach the right market by being resold by people getting a newer one. I don't see why M1 laptops would be an exception.
