Sorry, that's not what I meant, I incorrectly phrased that the wrong way around. If you are making stuff for iPhones, you essentially have to have a Mac because XCode to create iPhone apps requires a Mac to run. I meant the majory of app creators are Mac users. So if they kill the Mac workflow then they will castrate the cash cow that is the iPhone. I know there are alternative workflows you could make by using something that can cross compile to iPhone and using a Windows/Linux system, then renting a Mac device via a cloud service like AWS, but I would be surprised if it made up a significant amount of development. |

I would assume people at Apple aren't brain-dead to kill mac and not have an alternative development flow, haha. "killing mac" if it's on a table would include allowing other platforms to build iOS / iPadOS apps.
