Can you really iMessage with your non Apple pc?
Or develop iOS apps with it?
Or test them?
For many people being able to do it makes the difference between a salary and not being able to pay the rent
As much as "a nice have" it looks, and I agree it somewhat is, that's not the full story.
- threeseed 6y agoYes I can develop and test iOS apps on my Mac without a phone. And there are online services that provide real-world phones if you do need to test it. Or I can just use Testflight and have beta test users do it.
