Everyone is lying to you. Assuming you're talking about the iOS Simulator, the MacBook Air will do you just fine.

I use an M3 air for my personal machine which is used for c++ development and music production — it’s an excellent machine and I have yet to encounter a task that would require a MPB (at least for the type of work I am involved with).

Thanks. How much memory does it have? I figured 16 GB might be a bit in the low end for XCode, the emulator, some other random software and a lot of Firefox tabs.

I dunno about lying; it used to be true in the Intel age so it might simply be a matter of their information being out of date.

Thanks, I'll do more research. This is becoming temping as Air is affordable so will attract less negative energy from *wife.
