Which iOs device should I get?

Hi! I want to start iOs development. Which iOs device curently based-suited for testing Unity games right on hardware?
Also, I assume I can not use iOs device to actually upload final games to appStore, so I’ll also need some cheap iMac for that?

You will need a Mac in order to build your application. Unity will create an Xcode project, and this will need to be loaded into Xcode and built. Xcode only runs on Mac.

Ideally you’ll need all iOS devices. If you can only afford one, get the oldest device you want your game to run on. So, if you want the game to be playable on an iPad1, then get one of those for testing.

Thank you, so all devices are needed then, I’ll stick to this rule.
