Hey all... Right now the Mac-only Xcode SDK weighs in at 750MB, and the iPhone SDK weighs in at 2.82GB. Why is it that ther's such a great disparity between the two? Isn't the iPhone SDK only different in several apps?

Also, does the iPhone SDK contain everything that the Mac SDK contains? Thanks😀

iPhone SDK includes many other things such as iPhone OS development support(for many versions of the firmware), iPhone Simulator, Xcode Templates, Interface Builder and Instrumments support for the iPhone and many other things. Yes, the iPhone SDK comes with the Mac SDK too.
