The Mac Mini is a totally different market: it 1) runs macOS 2) has Apple Silicon 3) has no competitors for running macOS 4) is the cheapest entry point into iOS development which is a high paying job

So you listed macOS three times, and then your last point is sort of not relevant

In the US, maybe. Android rules the rest of the world and Europe, Japan and China.

Spaniard here. Definitively yes. I know about France, Germany, Italy... and it's truly behind the Android market.

Definitely does not rule so absolutely that you can ignore iOS development. In Western Europe my anecdata is that iPhone is winning with high frequency users.

OFC it's the second one over Android smartphones. Which is the alternative? Still, in Spain, France, Italy, Germany... the iPhone it's seen for poshy people and Android covers the 90% of the needs of the average guy at a much cheaper price.

Almost any app that's available on both iOS and Android will do more than 50% of its revenues from iOS even in markets that are 75% Android.

Those "poshy" people are quick to click on in-app purchases.

Not always, as most iPhone users here are CEOs and mid-range managers. They love cutting costs down.

I'm not sure what your point is, but my Mac Mini M1 runs Linux. Asahi Linux.

Unless you’re not aware, most Mac users aren’t running Linux

Is that supposed to be positive or negative? Because the only thing I'm reading is "I can think of nothing positive to say, but if you absolutely have to use macos, it totally runs that.".

Well, if you want to run macOS, you have one choice, if you want to run Windows or Linux, you have 1000 choices. This will drive profit margins among the 1000 choices to roughly zero
