From Apple pay to ARKit, Apple has introduced many consumer-facing features along with many improvements in existing frameworks, there is definitely something for every type of app in iOS 11.

Below are some of the most exciting features which are needed to be considered by top ios developers to integrate into their apps:

Sirikit

Siri’s voice control is the new attraction which has bring new sensation across banking app development. During a digital transaction, now users can Siri to transfer money, view their balances, or even pay their existing bills. voice recognition has opened doors for developers to offer many benefits and advanced features. With each passing day, top iOS app developers are integrating apps from different categories with Siri. This has led to an expansion in the usage of latest technologies across apps to make them smarter and better. In coming years, its usage will increase to many folds and grip up with many other domains. To match pace with ever-evolving voice integrations, get in touch with Brainmobi team of top iOS developers.

ARKit

ARKit is an advanced feature that Apple has introduced in iOS 11. It’s a toolkit that is used by developers to integrate native augmented reality functionality. With the integration of ARKit apps can use computer vision to recognize objects along with virtual objects that can be placed on the display.

Brandon S. Kaplan, CEO of Skilled Creative states –

“The major change in iOS 11 is going to be the rapid influx of new AR apps. With the AR Dev Kit, we will have developers, artists, agencies, brands, and young tinkerers dropping AR Apps like it’s 2016 and the word chatbot was just invented.”

But still many are unaware of the ways to make the best possible use of Augmented Reality. Pokemon Go is an example that has already marked a huge mark with AR and there are many others looking forward to integrating the technology into their iOS apps.

Machine Learning & Vision Frameworks

Machine Learning has influenced Apple to include it across their set of toolkits. In iOS 11, there are many additions along with Core ML, a toolkit that helps developers integrate machine learning models into their apps. The iOS 11 Vision framework uses can range from text, barcode, face, and landmark detection to object tracking and image registration.

New Compiler in Xcode 9

Apple released Xcode 9 and developers could be more excited for a myriad of new features. The main attraction of this compiler is that it is specifically written for Swift. With this release of Swift compiler, Apple hopes that developers will get a sigh of relief with improved build times and file indexing, the two major pain-points for developers. It has built some great hopes for mobile app development companies to do great saving on cost and time.

Enhanced Push Notifications

With this newly released version of iOS 11, Notification is integrated with a list of much-advanced features like engagement with notifications while the device is still locked. No need to first unlock the device to get through the message. Ability to like or comment on receive notifications without having to open the app. You can set private status for notifications.

Conclusion

With the closing of WWDC 2017, Apple also announced revoking the support for 32-bit apps. Apple has also mentioned gauging the apps that are contributing to deteriorate the quality of Appstore and overcrowding it to an extent. With this its evident that Apple has become quite adamant regarding the quality of apps that hit the stores.

The above list is a sure shot for building successful ios apps. Still grunting with a few doubts?

Yes, This trend has been a norm. Aspiring businessmen and entrepreneurs have been chasing an answer from developers for biasing between iOS and Android platform. This problem could be solved immediately by releasing the app on both the platform but due to some major shortcomings, this is generally not recommended by professional mobile experts. Both iOS and Android have been fighting around this debate from a quite long time but nothing as strong have come out to conclude one as a clear winner. But if we go back in time when the ever popular apps like Instagram, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Clash of Clans, Prisma and Worms 3 got released, only iOS users could use these apps as there was no Android version available in the market. Further talking about market shares, Android owns almost 82% market share, according to a November report released by research firm Gartner which leads to more confusion among clients to why choose iOS First for App launch.
Android is big. Really big. According to research firm Gartner, 79% of all smartphones sold between April and June this year were running Android: 177.9m handsets compared to Apple’s 31.9m iPhones.

To help those who are still looking for the answer to this much-debated question, here are some factors to help you understand why developers still find Apple’s platform a tastier prospect when Google-powered devices are selling like hotcakes:

Cost and Complexity

As we all know, the chain of Apple devices is much smaller as compared to the Android devices in the market. In the market, there are nearly 12,000 different Android devices with a wider range of screen sizes, processors and versions of the Android software still in use whereas Apple has only 30 devices to the max including iPads and few OS variations.

There are many other reasons which lead many developers to prefer iOS first for their app launch such as it’s easier to iterate the app over a couple of updates in response to feedback from their users. Based on all the improvement, it offers optimised work scheme where are all the shortcoming are already sorted.

Profits and Piracy

Not just money spent but revenue generated from a single platform is also one of the important concerns where developers choose iOS over Android due to two-pronged thing – it’s a preconceived notion that Apple user spent more and Android users are less inclined towards the idea to app for using an app and the second thing is paid apps, in particular, suffer from crippling levels of piracy on Android. Piracy is one of the major concerns which leads the developers to think twice before launching a paid app on Android version whereas iOS platform is considered as a preferred option when the app type is freemium or paid.

Apart from above four concern, there is much more that goes behind making an app a great success story regardless of which platform you choose as a launch pad. Emphasis on evolving excellence across each code of line and inch of design. And here’s how you could do it?

Both iPhone 8 and iPhone X are packed with a bunch of surprises making all the frenzy around the release worthwhile. With a hoard of new features like wireless charging, faster processor, better camera and the new Face ID features etc this series of phones are definitely considered as the best iPhones from Apple till date. With so many other additions to the list of features, Apple claims to offer unmatched user experience never encountered before in any mobile phone. Don’t get carried away with the glimpses only, let’s explore more about the new series of iPhones and how the more clear picture will make you drop all your plans to buy much popular Note or Pixel :

• Wireless Charging

  The series of iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X are the first iPhones to support wireless charging. With a changed look of iPhone’s back covering with glass instead of the whole thing, aluminum makes it perfectly compatible with Qi-compatible wireless charger. Many places like Starbucks and some newer cars already support wireless charging based on same Qi technology as the iPhone. So far, wireless charging has been considered as a flagship feature which juices up the battery level from 0 to 50% within 30 minutes. All you need is an Apple USB-C charger and Lightning cable (Sold Separately). Soon to be released AirPower is Apple’s own charging accessory with room for other iPhones and iWatch.

• Powerful Processor

  iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X all three have the same powerful A11 Bionic processor as the iPhone 7. It’s the fastest chip that Apple has ever put in an iPhone — and the iPhone 7 already felt plenty fast. This new chip is all set to deliver the best of augmented reality tricks that you might’ve seen demos of. Soon, such AR based apps will make their debut with actual apps and games in the App Store. All recent iPhones made with great consideration to avail room for all the latest technologies, but Apple claims the 8 and X have been specially “optimized” for it.

• Camera with Faster Sensors

  Nothing much have changed on this front except iPhone X. The 12-megapixel f/1.8 camera has a “larger and faster” sensor than the iPhone 7, says Apple, so if all you care about is having one good camera, iPhone 8 series should be an excellent choice. It’s got optical image stabilization and can record 4K video at 24, 30, or 60FPS — just like the other new phones. iPhone X offers better camera quality with the telephoto portrait lens on the iPhone X’s dual-camera (f/2.4 vs. f/2.8). Both rear camera in iPhone X offers optical image stabilization, which should allow you to use the telephoto lens in darker conditions. This feature is missing in iPhone 8 Plus. Primary 12-megapixel camera and 7-megapixel selfie camera is common among all the three phones.

• Upgraded Display

  The screen itself, called a Super Retina Display, is a 1125×2436 OLED display, retailed by Samsung. It’s the first time Apple’s used OLED tech in an iPhone to incorporate some big advantages. The display supports Apple’s True Tone feature, which adjusts the screen’s appearance and color temperature so that it always looks pleasant and less blue/harsh to your eyes in a variety of lighting environments. iPhone 8 comes with a screen size of 4.7-inches and iPhone 8 Plus comes with 5.5-inches OLED screen whereas iPhone X edge-to-edge OLED screen size stretches to 5.8-inches while supporting HDR video which is a unique feature. Front and back covering with the hardest glass are common among all the three phones.

• No Home button

  In iPhone X, Apple has eradicated the home button with top to bottom edge-to-edge OLED screen. A bunch of the feature’s functions has been moved to the side buttons. For Siri, Long-press it whereas double click for Apple Pay. Unlike touch ID, users can unlock their iPhone with facial gestures. Face ID is the biggest adjustment that iPhone users will have to make in years.

• Face ID

  Face ID is the feature which replaces your fingerprint in powerful iPhone X. Once your Face ID is setup, you’ll unlock your phone by holding it up to your face, pay for things by holding it up to your face, and log in to apps … by holding it up to your face. Apple says it has done extensive work to make sure masks and photos can’t fool it. All of these facial-recognition features are made possible by an array of cameras and sensors packed into that notch at the top of the screen. Apple touted Face ID as both more secure and more convenient than a fingerprint, and the onstage demos certainly made it look that way.

Unlike the iPhone 8 Plus, the regular iPhone 8 is still relatively easy to use in one hand. iPhone 8 has also faced some criticism for short battery life and 4.7-inch small screen as compared to iPhone 8 plus and iPhone X. Out of all the three models, iPhone 8 plus offers the best battery life. Silver, space gray, and a “beautiful new gold finish” are available color options for the iPhone 8 series. Matte black, jet black, and rose gold are reportedly discontinued.

You can preorder your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus on September 15, and the phones arrive in stores on September 22.  Ahhh !! Is iPhone X the perfect option for you? Wait until November when it’s available in Apple Stores worldwide for purchase.
