The GP's question was about learning IOS dev. For that, you only need the Mac. There is a simulator built in to Mac dev tools so you don't have to have an iphone. The developer account also isn't needed to learn. You only need the $99/year account to publish apps to the app store.
- otachack 6y agoI think you also need the dev account if you want to run apps on a physical phone, but it's been awhile since I tried.
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoYou can just use your Apple ID (I think that's what it's called), which is free. Some of the features are only available if you have the $99/year account.
- steve_taylor 6y agoYou can side-load builds onto your iPhone/iPad and they expire after a while (maybe 30 days).
