Just in terms of developing software for the iPhone, it is worth it to go for a Mac. Then there is developing for the Mac. Remember, you can develop for Windows, Android, and Linux on either one.
You speak of the benchmarks being cherry picked, but Intel designs for the benchmarks. The benchmarks are not reality.
I have not been impressed with compile times on Intel chips. Their power consumption is much worse.
But mostly it is the design choices, which has nothing to do with the Intel chips. Apple just makes good design choices --- Except for the Studio Display electrical plug being attached to the monitor, that just bugs me --- But for the most part, excellent choices.
It is like mechanical watches. You pay twice as much for 20% better. The question is how much are you willing to pay for a slightly better Apple. My answer was about $8k of my own money, and about $2.5k of an employer's money. I do not have to pay taxes on the $8k, and do not have to pay anything on the $2.5k.

They're not $10k, they're $1K, moron.
Okay, with tariffs they're $2K

I just bought one, and so know the price exactly. Lets run the numbers again, and make sure I am right.
A 16 inch MacBook Pro with 64GB Ram, and 4TB SSD hard drive. Add on Final Cut Pro, 3 years extended warranty, a Magic Trackpad, and a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad. Then add a Studio Display - Nano-texture glass - Tilt- and height-adjustable stand, also with 3 years extended warranty.
You get exactly $8,393.99, which I shortened to $8k. I then got my employer to buy a display, trackpad, and keyboard for work, which cost exactly $2,796.00, which I shortened to $2.5k.
You can check it out for yourself. Your insults just made you look stupid.
I am a retail customer in the USA, I do not pay tariffs, and no American would say I do. Where are you really from?

You idiot! The tariffs are slapped onto goods imported into the US, Like computer stuff from Taiwan, for instance.
You pay for the tariffs because the exporter jacks the price just that much.
Consumers do not pay anything called a tariff, and no American would say they do. Again, where are you from?

You have gone full retard. This conversation is over.
There is a lot to be said there. I would not want the Chinese government to have anything to do with my $90,000 car that I bought to save the planet, after the lithium has been dredged out of the ground by child labor and coal fired plants are needed to refill the empty batteries.
