I think the internal hardware is now soldered to the motherboard. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Edit: I just looked up the tear down for it. iFixit is showing that it's a proprietary connector.

if i buy a 2015 Mac book pro  can i expand the storage with a m.2 ssd or do i have to buy apple specific ssds thanks.

Unless you wanna lug around an external USB drive, no. Opening the damn things are a pain in the ass, as you need special tools and reassembly glue strips

It's reasons like this that make me want to stay away from Macs in general
 
Edit: ok, it is easy to open up, but I don't know about the storage tho

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

the 2014 MBP is upgradable in the sense that the storage isn't soldered.  I think it's a proprietary SSD though...

Yes. The PCIe SSD is soldered onto the "Logic" board.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

IIRC the older ones have replaceable drives, I was planning on doing an HDD to SSD replacement for my bro's 2013 model for the holidays.
