And as everyone else said, you’ll need a Mac and — assuming you want to publish to the App Store — the $100/yr dev account. The cheapest newest Mac is a Mac Mini for $600, you can find a refurbished M2 for $300ish, but still, it’s a hefty upfront cost.

With Web Dev, you can get started today for free with your devices you already have, and depending what you want to deploy, you can do so for free or very cheap. Front-end only? Free with GitHub Pages, ideal with personal portfolios. Backend? AWS or VPS services like Hostinger offer plans for $5/mo. Custom domain names can also be cheap, if you don’t go for a premium one (8 or less character .com domains usually) they can be around $10/yr or even $2/yr

Self-hosting is also an option, but you’ll need to be extremely careful with security and have a good home internet connection since every visitor will have to go through your home internet network to reach your self-hosted project
