What's the main difference between the 13 inch MB Pro and 14 inch MB Pro? (lemmy.world)

Hi!

I work as a Mobile App Developer for a company, I have about 3 years experience. I have never owned a Mac but I think it's time for me to buy one in order to increase my skills and increase my freelance chances (since I need a Macbook to develop for iOS).

What are the main differences between the 13 and the 14 inch? I will mainly use an IDE and the iOS simulator.

Which one do you suggest? I have also heard great things about the Macbook Air, but the lack of fan kind of drives me out.

Also, I have been reading that getting an M1 is still the cheapest and best option instead of M2 and M3.

Thanks in advance!

The touch bar on the 13in is a pretty big reason to save up for the 14in. It looks cool, but is annoying in practice.

Most folks didn’t like it, which is why it’s getting replaced by physical buttons.

And that said, whatever you buy, just make sure to get more than 8 megs of RAM.
