I develop iOS apps and I think this is the sweet spot. I am not sure what impact the extra bandwidth of the M1 Max will have though. We will have to wait to see. For video editing is clear. For Xcode not so sure. 14 or 16 inches is up to personal preference. I just value more the smaller package and the reduced weight. Performance is about the same.
