I’m thinking of getting a Mac mini to build Unity iOS apps. I see Costco has some. Searching online I see a wide-range of prices from the $2xx-9xx range. What would be a minimum processor/memory version to get?
That’s not the issue, the issue is getting deprecated. Since newer XCode versions require certain OSes, and OS drop support for older macs, I would just get one of the new M1 ones in hopes it will last me for a really long time. (because you know Apple might just drop intel cpu support in like a couple OS versions).
I currently have a Late 2012 for building with 16GB of ram, it has served me well and is still going strong.
Get the new M1 Mac Mini. Don’t bother getting any older Mac Minis. The build performance according to some Xcode benchmarks are bananas comparing any other Intel Macs that price range.
