Stop needlessly twisting yourself into a pretzel over this non-issue.  
Apple still needs computers.  iOS developers still need computers.  
It is pointless to even entertain the death of the Mac until those 
sorts of issues are addressed publicly.  Has that happened?  No, so 
you have at least a good 5 years before you have to worry about any 
sort of future that is Mac-less.
