iPhone application development after the release of the iPhone 4S reaches a new level!
It is obvious that the release of the highly anticipated iOS 5 platform combined with the iPhone 4S has hundreds of software companies in a frenzy to release the best apps for the iPhone. There are many companies that are trying to share the pie and therefore there has been a constant improvement in the number of innovative applications.
Since Apple introduced its flagship device, iPhone apps are continuously being developed and also made accessible to the public. The interest has reached a crescendo and multiplied with the launch of more and more apps in different domains and interests.
The iPhone 4S is said to be a modest upgrade over the iPhone 4, as it doesn’t have a facelift. The iPhone 4S has a predictably fast dual-core A5 processor with 1 GB of RAM, which also supports gaming options and a huge increase in graphics speed. It also boasts around 8 hours of talk time over 3G, which is excellent in itself. The 8 megapixel camera is a big difference compared to the iPhone 4 as it is feature rich and performs better than a normal point and shoot camera.
Most of the apps are entertainment apps nowadays, followed by utilities. But as analysts say, business apps that are now the first choice of most corporate professionals and executives are sure to overtake entertainment apps in terms of the number of apps being produced. Also, the trick is to price business apps in the normal price range and also develop marketing strategies that include promotional rates to generate interest in a specific app.
There are many companies that don’t like advertising so their apps are bundled with free apps so that they provide a sneak peek of the actual app. But here developers need to be aware of current tastes as well as market demands. The most successful apps are the simplest but extremely addictive and well marketed. Apps can be sold more than once and the ball starts rolling after the first sale!
Most of the companies prefer mobile apps that are tailored to their needs and that can be marketed well. There are apps that promote businesses and earn huge profits through direct sales. Nowadays there have been numerous requests for music apps. An interesting fact is that the most successful apps on the iOS platform are immediately picked up by the Android platform, while there are some iPhone apps and features that are inspired by Android. The latest Siri and the apps surrounding voice control have also aroused great interest among iPhone lovers.
