What to choose for iOS development?

Question

Apple

Good afternoon!
There is a dream in the plans - to learn iOS development and continue to work in this direction. Now there is a question about buying a workstation for training (macbook pro or iMac).
The question is:
Which device is more comfortable to develop applications on?
1. iMac
2. mac mini
3. macbook pro 13"
4. macbook pro 15"
Is 8GB of RAM enough for comfortable development?
The opinion directly of developers under iOS interests.

Answer 1

I highly recommend macbook pro. As for 13 - 15. I write code for 13, it's quite comfortable. I suspect that 15 would be more convenient, but it is inferior in mobility. So, here it tastes like color. 8 rb is enough, I don’t see any brakes. IMHO you only need more if you need to work a lot with graphics. You can also code on mac mini, but an ssd screw and at least 8GB is required, but if possible, then of course, it’s better to buy a firmware.

Answer 2

best of all - macbook pro 16GB ram + external monitor any
on macbooks without an external monitor is not particularly comfortable
or imac if it is constantly in one place

Answer 3

If money is not a mountain. Then:
If you need mobility, then a macbook pro 13 (the very one has one)
If you don’t need mobility, then a poppy mini
I think so

Answer 4

A lot depends on the project, I have 2 of them (the main ones, of course): one huge project with a bunch of sources and resources and one small one. So: for the sake of a big one, I changed the MacBook Pro 2015 2.7 16 GB SSD to 2017 3.1 16 GB. The build (clean) was 3-5 minutes against the previous 10. And here's what I'll say: it's a pity that 32 GB cannot be stuffed into it. But for the second project, 2015 is enough - everything flies, the build is within a minute. So it depends on the needs. For starters, there are no major projects yet - I would advise the MacBook Pro, the diagonal is not the main thing, but an external monitor will be very useful.
PS For comfortable work, you need an SSD like air
