I upgraded from M3 Air to M5 Pro 14". Not for LLM, but for faster build times. The disk access time is much faster on M5 Pro. My build time (iOS/Android) was reduced by more than 50%. So, that alone is worth the upgrade.
The technical strategy is sound. However, I anticipate major mobile apps will add MCP capabilities to their app very soon too, making less use of intents going forward.
Production-quality software can now be made in weeks (instead of months and quarters.) I anticipate an exciting period of fast innovation in all industries, supported by lots of good product-engineers with different levels of experience. The areas I am the most excited about is healthcare (as we live longer) and sustainability. It will be fun to be a part of.
