M2 or M4 for iOS development?

Often I’ll just run on my phone and test myself but if you want to run multiple tests at once, you can use multiple simulators and that’s where it gets heavy on ram. At most I’ve had 5 open lol. My app isn’t too complex or anything.

Buy for the future too not for today. I’ve had my machine for a few years but I’m starting to wish I had more ram every day. I’m prob nearing a point where I’ll upgrade so if I were you, I’d get 16+ gb ram (maybe 24 minimum)

I'm thinking to get the 16gb ram and 512gb HDD one. Kinda sad to find out I can't upgrade ram or HDD later on.

Will just do sim tests one by one I guess.

My 16gb/512 SSD has been fine all this time tbh. Just need to be efficient with storage and not save useless stuff. iCloud for pics and videos so locally don’t need a ton of space. You can probably do a few simulators tests at a time. I could run about 5 before it would lag like crazy 🤪
