Why Can't I Upgrade the RAM on my MacBook Pro?
If your MacBook Pro isn't listed above, there is a reason. The memory on your model isn't upgradable. Starting with the “Retina Display” MacBook Pro models released in 2012, Apple began soldering the memory directly onto the board to make them thinner and lighter. Once Apple discontinued the non-Retina models in 2016, no MacBook Pro models could be upgraded after purchase.
