The iPhone revolutionized the very concept of a smartphone. Ever since its debut 5 years ago, it continues to blur the lines between computers and a mobile device. Mobile application development is all the rage today thanks to Apple Inc.
Design Hi-Res and Hi-Quality Graphics for Your App
No matter what are your preconceived notions about the iPhone screen size, the rule of thumb is to design your graphics for a hi-resolution device. The iPhone also contains a retina display which brings its picture quality at par with the iPad. If you use low quality scalar graphics then the display results will be horrendous to say the least.
Invest in vector graphics design. The graphics can be scaled easily without any drop in quality if you utilize vector designs.
Use the Location feature in your app
Users can cash in on a few discounts and augmented reality options that make the app stand out 'geologically'. Using this in conjunction with the directions feature can also help in making your app more practical. The iPhone is mobile and begging to be used as a GPS device.
Partner with Social Media networks
Facebook and Twitter integration is a must for all developers. Mobile application development has made it easier than ever to share your achievements, stats, places, etc over social networks of your choice. It is also the easiest way to drive in traffic to your app. So make your app discoverable and marketable by baking in social media integration.
Design Games that get in-app purchasing options right
Your iOS app has all the ingredients of an addictive game. No matter what, people always want to get back to it. Capitalize on your game's appeal by incorporating a simple yet practical in-app purchasing system. Offer value-added expansions such as new levels, game changing mechanics, etc for a nominal fee. Try not to get caught in the nickel-and-diming trap. Nothing irks the customers more than the image of a mobile developer that makes you pay for every single thing.
The iPhone is just not a phone. It is becoming an extension of your personality and digital lifestyle. Anyone who partakes in mobile application development should take advantage of its size and features
