Areas of Key Focus in 2012 for iPhone App Developers


As the scope for iPhone application development is broadening with each passing day, the industry is facing a number of important questions as the year is about to end. The most important of all questions is the need to know what the future holds for iPhone app developers in 2012. The times are rapidly changing and the world is facing an economic crisis that does not seem to be abating anytime soon.
However, even in this time when everyone is worried about lack of finances, mobile phone industry has not faced any problem and iPhone was one product that only saw an increase in its sales and application develop took a new turn. More and more developers came into this industry to make a name for themselves and to earn a good living. As 2011 is about to end and we are standing on the verge of entering 2012, it is the valid concern of hundreds and thousands of developers that what developments and news the new year would bring them in terms of iPhone apps and what would be the key areas of focus that would help them do better.
The Millennial Media Survey was carried out recently and according to the report, more than 40% of the mobile phone application developers who took part in it reported that developing new applications will be the key focus area for them in 2012. This statement is enough to highlight the potential of mobile app industry in future and what great benefits it holds for them in future.
The mobile app developers also stressed on the growing need to maximize revenues from these apps. Around 21% of the developers were of the view that the applications should be focused on generating better returns on investment in 2012 as compared to apps that were developed in the previous years making iPhone app development a better income opportunity for businesses and individuals.
Along with this, the need to improve the development of apps, coming up with better ways of development, marketing and advertising of these mobile apps and learning better skills are some of the important goals that developers outlined in the survey report. According to them, if they focus on these key areas in 2012, there is no doubt that it would bring great benefits for the industry.
While this latest report brings to light the potential of iPhone application development, it also highlights the role of developers and the need to maximize the revenues. While most of the developers go for developing software where the app is sold free but users are charged when they need an upgrade or in-app purchase while playing the game, developers are looking for newer and better ways to generate profits as the future of iPhones is very bright and Apple is expected to come up with better versions in coming years.
There are already millions of applications in the stores, some free while others have to be purchased. This has led to a race among the developers to better to promote their apps, come up with innovative means of making them visible and to gain consumer attention for optimum results. The future of iPhone is very bright and this will put the mobile app developer in great demand with better and brighter prospects for those who know their job well.
