I am a iOS developer and I have an M1. There are some issues that need to be ironed out with some packages that I use not compiling for some reason on the arm iOS simulator, but that has diverted me to compiling on device which isn't much of a hassle.

I am not bothered as much by the 16gb of ram, it is still rather usable. What I really bought the machine for was the battery life. I've had it for a day or two and it is amazing how long I can stay away from my power socket. Also this thing runs really cool. I have not even heard the fans spin up once, even during the recent Sydney heatwave (45°C).
