To all the iOS app developers out there, who uses a Macbook Pro 13"? Is that a sufficient screen size working in Xcode or no?

    Personally I prefer 15.4 :) well you can get 24inch monitor and plug it as secondary.

    I have a 13 inch and I don't think it's suitable. Just use it when your on the move and dock it when your home

    Prefer 15 inch, I had a 13 inch mcp for 4 years and it was a relief to step to a bigger screen 😇🙏

    I have a 13 inch and use a monitor as well.

    13 here and it's not suitable for basic web browsing in my opinion, get the larger screen. Think of it this way, you look at the screen all day so it better be something you like looking at.

    Have a 13". Not perfect but I use it with a 21" screen. I prefer 15".

    I think it's probably fine for straight code but forget editing your storyboards!

    I have a 13" non-retina. Def need to dock it.

    13 inch MacBook Air owner here. Perfectly fine when on the go or out of the house/office!

    That said, I would recommend docking it when working at home/work. It's just not as efficient to use the small screen.

    I'm going to have to disagree here. I have a double monitor setup for PC but I use a 13" retina MacBook and it is perfect. Perfect size and weight to carry around and program on.

    Not if you use storyboards a lot

    15" with scaled resolution. Don't even need an extra monitor.

    storyboards aren't that bad on a 13inch MacBook. just pinch to zoom...

    @mzgaljic: it's not so much working on the storyboard itself. More about how you'd code your view controller while you have the storyboard side by side

    @xroad oh yeah - forgot about that. Doing that part is brutal on the MacBook Air, totally agree. The rest isn't so bad though :-)
