I’m not sure if the base model is enough or not. Anyone have experience?

    Over time the 8GB of RAM on base model might start frustrating you. You’ll also be wearing the ssd with all the swapping.

    The base M1 chip itself is great. Just get the extra RAM. You can’t upgrade RAM or storage after the fact.

      I guess it’s one of those things that can’t be helped. I might as well save my money for a bit longer and upgrade to 16 GB and 512GB

    Bump it up to 16 GB of RAM.

    Other than that, I think the base specs are fine. iOS app development isn’t nearly as heavy as it used to be now that Macs and iPhones share similar SoCs.
