I want to buy a mac for iOS development. Are there any features I should watch out for specifically for iOS development? Would air work or should I go with pro?

I would probably recommend going with a MBP for development primary because of the limited memory and SSD space that the Air has. A MBP is upgradeable for memory and hard drive. The SSD on the Air can be upgraded but is expensive.
