Launch of iPhone has changed the way of we have used our smartphone and ended an era of Symbian smartphone with the slash, and so as Apple did it with launch of iPad. We believed that, ‘well’ it will take some time for us to be mobile computing maniacs and use of tablets will be bit futuristic thing, but here we are using it and enjoying the era of apps and games which we were not even in knowledge of before 2 years. With launch of iPhone and iPad, it brought along new beginning of mobile application development with fields like iPhone Application Development and iPad Application Development.

Some companies started it early even before launch of the official iPad and when iOS SDK was in its first beta, it proved to be a good venture. iPhone Application Development has opened new door ways to development and designing application of smartphone and the way we can use the limited facilities and features provided by the available hardware. iPad Application Development on the other hand teach us that the same app development platform can be used for more powerful and large-scale device without lose of processing power or battery life. So, you make an app for iPhone or for iPad, what only matters is how you use the features of devices in best way possible.

iPhone Application Development is been done using iOS SDK and is mostly in the same form since its launch. Though there are many changes in the feature wise which Apple has made, the functionality and important sections remain the same. Coding view, user interface and testing simulator. iPad Application Development has the same base SDK but uses different simulator as the size of screen is different than iPhone. iOS SDK is so far the best thing developers has used against all the available mobile app development SDKs. Doing iPhone Application Development and iPad Application Development using iOS SDK is easier and quicker.

Mobile application development has been the there from last 10 years or may be more, companies are doing app development in Symbian from more than a decade now and what they say is with experience we got in the tough development done in Symbian it is becoming easy for us to get into iPhone Application Development and iPad Application Development fields and start delivering great apps. iPhone Application Development and iPad Application Development has no doubt became an undisputed kings of mobile apps development.

So far so Good, iPhone Apps Development and iPhone Game Development is part of the business Mobile Application Development Companies don’t want to miss. Since its start from 2008, iPhone Apps Development has been jewel of smart phone apps development and designing. Along with upgraded hardware by Apple in recent time, iPhone Game Development is also picking-up the pace. Companies now a day are concentrating more on the hiring skilled developers with better knowledge of the graphics side, so the designing and development departments sing well together. Important part we miss here is how both fields of development are different to one another and still need almost the same skill set.

iPhone Apps Development is what contains development of different types of apps like, business, utility or based on sports and mainly provide you an edge or information regarding to your day to day activity or routine. iPhone Game Development on the other hand is more concentrated filed directed towards experience and entertainment genre. iPhone Apps Development is mostly done using basic iOS SDK provided by Apple and very less amount of third part API’s in case you want to build something really different, else mostly 80% of the app development is covered by SDK and there is no need to use any of third party APIs.

iPhone Game Development is more of complex thing to play with it you have any 2D or 3D game with multiple levels to be made. You might need to use third party software like Cocos2D or Cocos3D, or like Unity which provides porting of its environment to iOS SDK. Unlike iPhone Apps Development, iPhone Game Development needs more skilled inputs and experience to play with 2D or 3D graphics and of course good knowledge of Physics and Math.

During last 1 year, the capability and processing power of iPhone has been improved and also with launch of iPad 2, Game Development has never been same. When asked, CEO of one of the famous iPhone Apps Development Company Morpheous said “We started with doing some R&D for about Month last year, and now we are delivering about 2 – 3 games a month”. Well, Game Development Market is not as energetic as iPhone Apps Development but, it’s going to be there just like the PC Games Market. We have been talking to lot of people and one thing they all say in common is without iPhone, there would have not been any revolution in mobile app development business.

Apple has opened new frontiers with launching iPhone and iPad. It really has begun the Mobile Computing and Apps development race. iphone application develoment is the field which is now talk of the town and cities and countries. Once there was OS named Symbian, in which we have supposed to develop mobile apps and games. But it never evolved neither it became developer friendly. You must be an astronaut and programming in Symbian was surely a rocket science. Then, the change came, Apple has proved with iphone application develoment that, it’s not only easy to work with but also to understand the system and due to system support only one device, there is not testing of apps needed for different devices with different screens and features, unlike Symbian.  

Apple launched its first iOS SDK in mid 2008 and since then it has been upgraded to many revisions or versions, providing new features to iPhone Apps Programmer each time. iphone application develoment is done in Objective-C language and has somewhat similar interface like visual basic. Where you have Graphical User Interface for Form building and other is coding interface. For iPhone Apps Programmer, there is well defined file structure to follow; so that you can just connect the pieces right and rest of the things are taken care by compliers.

Third and Most important part of the iOS or you can say Latest iOS 5 SDK is its simulator, where iPhone Apps programmer can build and check the application he has developed like testing it in device. iphone application develoment environment also provides option for porting the apps directly to device for testing via the SDK, and that is very beneficial to remove and bugs or unknown force closes. As hardware is getting more and more advance, like the newly added multi-tasking feature to new model, Apple has made sure it brings new and latest things on platter for both User and Apps Programmer.

iPhone Apps Development has surpassed the development done in Symbian or any other mobile platform in just few months and so far it’s biggest success Apple has achieved so far. There was one question everybody had at Launch of iPhone, what after 1 year or after you use all native apps? With simple answer to it: Apps, Develop more and more apps. And with it came the new breed called iPhone Apps Programmer, specializing in iPhone Apps Development and satisfying the ever growing hunger of different types of Applications and Games.
