need advice on 15 RMBP vs 13 RMBP

-

hey everyone,

i'm looking getting started ios/osx development. i'm interested in swift.

however; first macbook...
ideally i'd buy macbook pro 15 inch model no brainer. reluctant know it's
due upgrade "soon". have considered 13 inch model i'd rather quad core processor
, larger screen size. screen size issue me because have doubts it's comfortable working with.
when programming primary job want laptop for.

kind of want started soon. options?
- wwdc announced possible we'll see upgrade macbook pro line there?

note: have considered mac mini decided not because need portability.
note: don't live in us.

in advance chips in advice ^^.
