Four Custom Iphone App Trends That Are Here To Stay

Developing iPhone apps that have a long-shelf life is really difficult

, given the number of competitive developers, apps on the App Store and the ever-increasing demand from the end users for innovative apps. But there is a way out. What you, as a developer can do, is develop customized iPhone apps, by observing some of the latest trends that are here to stay, now and in future. Let us take a look at four such custom iPhone app development trends.

Social Media

Social Media or Social networking is big business nowadays. Think Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Instagram; all these are social apps, which have millions of users worldwide. Such apps are the hub of multimedia such as photos, videos and music and also act as communication and sharing tools, which connect people far and wide. Such is the importance and impact of social media that even the iOS 6 has deep Twitter and Facebook integration in its native apps! And this is just the beginning; in the future, there will be more tools and technologies using which developers will be able to create even more innovative social media apps for the end users.

Mobile search

Nowadays, people are getting increasingly dependent on their mobile devices for the most trivial things which include but are not limited to finding the right diet plan, taking notes, maintaining their schedule and booking a table at their favorite restaurants. They have begun to think that their iPhone (actually Siri voice assistant) is a genie and would carry out all their orders instantly.

This is something that Apple developers foresaw and therefore gave more capabilities to Siri in the iOS 6. In the future, Siri would be able to integrate easily with more number of third-party apps and provide users a perfect option for search and take actions based on the search options. Say, would not it be great to buy tickets, reserve your favorite spot at a restaurant and do more using your iPhone without moving an inch from your couch! So, as a developer you too can use Siri for creating better mobile search based apps for the end-users.

Mobile Commerce

Mobile Commerce or mCommerce is basically an extension of eCommerce on your mobile device. With more and more consumers using their iPhones for browsing various eCommerce sites and shopping, there is a huge potential for development of mCommerce based apps for the iOS platform. You never know, there might be a new category altogether for mCommerce on the iTunes due to the growing popularity of such apps. (already there is a catalogs app category on iTunes)

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is the future of a number of apps. Basically, it is overlaying of digital data on the real world (virtual meets physical) and is quickly becoming popular with all mobile users. There are numerous augmented reality apps already on iTunes, and we get a hint of it in the all new Apple Maps app (3D Street View). You can use this trendsetting technology to develop many innovative apps under categories like productivity, education or just fun and I am sure that these apps will be popular with your end-users in no time.

In Conclusion

These are some of the trends, which can be used to develop custom iPhone apps in the coming future. So, if you are a developer and not sure, which kind of app to develop to earn profit, you can select any of these above mentioned categories and start developing your apps now.
