    Hi,

    I have developed for iOS devices before, and am about to start again. However, I no longer have an iPhone, only an iPad. I have two questions... Do I really need an iPhone to develop for iPhone, or can I develop for the iPad, and assume it will work? If the answer is that I do need an iPhone, what is the cheapest model that will work? A friend of mine has an iPhone 5S, which he is thinking of selling, so if that will run Unity games that would be the ideal solution.

    By the way, I will be developing on my Mac Mini, using the latest version of Unity.

    Thanks in advance,

    John.

    You'll be able to run your game on iPad so iPhone is not really necessary. Though it's always a good idea to test your game on as many devices as possible.

    Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if games I develop using the latest version of Unity will run on an iPhone 5S?
