Can I not upgrade the ram to 16 GB? null

you have to special order it from apple to get 16gb of ram

Yes, unfortunately previous answers are correct. You cannot upgrade the MacBooks anymore. I’m currently coming back to the BestBuy site every freaking day until I have to opportunity to order 16gb memory because I cannot use my Best Buy card through Apple. Apple blocks you into only being approved for their Credit Card (which they will not give me for a myriad of reason the last 2 years now despite my credit score) so I guess it’s more waiting for me.

Beginning in 2013, Apple began soldering their RAM to the motherboard on Macbook Pro 13 and 15 inch. Basically meaning if you have a MackBook Pro 2012 or older, you can install RAM yourself. However, if your MackBook Pro is 2013 and newer, you must order your desired RAM preinstalled. Hope this helps...
