So yeah, everybody who's writing apps for iOS and whatnot needs to have a reasonably beefy Mac to do the job, and that means buying a Mac Pro. They only need enough GPU power to be able to run the iOS virtual machine emulator's graphics at something approximating full speed, but it's sure helpful to have lots of memory and lots of CPU resources.

Not sure what this says about the high-end video/audio/media producers. Not enough of them to matter? Are laptops now "good enough" for 4K video production? There's a story that's missing here.
