Vishal BhatiaiOS app development trends are changing all the time. It mostly stems from the new tools released by Apple, as well as the unique requirements that the current market brings to the table. But you have to wonder, how do these trends influence the market at this time? As you may imagine, some trends tend to be more prevalent when compared to others. Here you have the most important trends for 2018:
Augmented Reality
Since iOS 11 launched, the primary focus for any iOS developer was Augmented Reality. And it’s easy to see why. The phones now have AR capabilities and supporting hardware. Now the pressure is on developers, as they need to create high quality software that will run on these devices and make the most out of their capabilities. There are lots of industries that can use Augmented Reality apps. Plus, even entertainment apps can do wonders and get a lot of money this way. Pokemon Go would be a really good example of how successful this can be.
Improve AI
As you can imagine, the primary focus here is on making AI more powerful. Siri is good, but some of the competitors have surpassed its capabilities. So, the primary focus for iOS app development is to continually improve the way SIRI or others are used in mobile apps. Right now the usage is pretty good, but it can always get better, and that’s certainly something that you need to take into consideration in this regard. Whether developers will focus on the use of AI and its improvement, that remains to be seen. But the technology is there, so it should be used as fast as possible.
Internet of Things Support
A lot of mobile apps are trying to improve, and one of the best methods to achieve that goals is to integrate IoT support. For the time being, a lot of companies create apps for their own IoT hardware. But there aren’t too many third party apps created by someone other than the manufacturer. This is not that good, but we reckon things are about to change in the very near future. The value and quality is there, the possibilities are endless, so things are certainly shifting a little bit. Whether they will get to shift enough or not, that remains to be seen. But results are bound to be worth it in the end.
Mobile Payments
Apple Pay is good, but not all apps use it. If you want to sell something with your app, then including mobile payment solutions is extremely important. It’s the right time to use this instead of the same old credit card purchases. That’s why an iPhone app development company will encourage you to start using this type of approach the best way you can in order to reap as many benefits as possible.
Blockchain Support
The blockchain technology framework is very popular right now, and many ICOs (Initial Coin Offer-ing)take advantage of that. The problem is it’s not that well supported by iOS app development. But as 2018 progresses, we expect more and more blockchain based applications to arrive on iOS. Whether they are ICO apps or just tools that help you use cryptocurrencies better, using the blockchain for something like this is very important. After all, the blockchain offers transparency and that’s exactly what customers expect to have from any type of purchase. Hopefully this can expect to purchases as well, but only time can tell!
Cloud Based Apps
There’s no denying that people want to save space on their phone. After all, they have phones with 16-64 GB of storage, and many apps are very data-intensive. One of the solutions would be to focus on storing most app data in the cloud. Security is a lot better, the outcome is more interesting and the return on investment can be huge in this regard. It’s certainly convenient, and among some of the best features you can find in this regard.
Chatbots
People expect you to be there for them 24/7. Obviously you can’t do such a thing, so you have to come up with a solution that solves the issue. What makes chatbots great is that they have a way to eliminate the need for a support representative, at least in the beginning. One of the major iPhone app development trends is to use more and more chatbots, as they are very convenient, useful and extremely reliable for any type of business you may have.
Conclusion
