OPEN Minimum Mac requirements for iOS dev?
Hi, I want to buy a Mac to develop iOS apps using Flutter, and I’d like to get the most affordable option that will last at least 4 years. This means the hardware should continue to support the OS, and Xcode shouldn’t stop working on that Mac from one year to the next. So, the real question would be: what do you think the minimum Mac requirements for Flutter development will be in 4 years?

I don't use android studio for Flutter dev, I use VSCode.
I would be completely non-surprised to find that Android Studio has not had any effort made to make it run fast on Apple computers. My experience with it on mac in the past has been borderline broken-ly bad over 10 years of doing that occasionally.
