Likewise. I'm still rocking a 2016 13" macbook pro with a dual core CPU and integrated graphics. I'm looking at picking up this year's iphone, and it might be faster in every way than my laptop. (But with less RAM and storage)

If true, I'm not really sure what to do about that. I doubt I can offload rust compilation to an iphone.

Yeah, I have the 2015. You can actual compile Rust on an iphone (but I think you'd have to sync the code thei manually), but I think for Rust you really want one the AMD processsors with 8+ cores. I guess the new macbooks might be able to compete. We'll have to see.
