    That's one of the main features listed at http://unity3d.com/get-unity

    Are the details of these limitations on the website anywhere? All I've seen was this:

    Unity 5 Professional customers who earned/received more than $100,000 in revenue/funding in the previous fiscal year must purchase iOS Pro and/or Android Pro deployment add-ons to deploy to these platforms. The iOS and Android Pro add-ons enable deployment without the Personal Edition splash screen.

    So does 'iOS Personal' come fully-featured, with the profiler and rendertextures and more, or it do the 4.x restrictions remain when it comes to mobile?

    Yes it is fully featured (but with the Unity splash screen). That text is just saying that if you make over $100,000 a year you are required to upgrade to the Pro version.

    If that's right, it's good news.

    But strangely, it'd be a bigger deal for large teams than 'pro indies'. As it sounds like a large team would only need a single iOS Pro license (for doing the final build on) - and th

    Right now (4.x), most programmers on the team would want/need an iOS Pro licences - for profiling and testing of Pro-only features like rendertextures.

    It'll be great if it means that artists (with Unity Pro but no iOS Pro add-on) can switch to iOS mode, and preview mobile lightmaps and mobile texture compression without losing important features (lightprobes, rendertextures). With 4.x, they're usually stuck in PC/Mac standalone mode, where lightmaps can go brighter and the horrors of PVR texture compression aren't visible...
