Why you should prefer i phone for your application idea ?
Currently in the market there are many brands of smart phones available . The iPhone dominates them all . Approximately 6 million sets of iPhone have been sold until now and the sale hasn't slowed down . iPhone gives you a tremendous opportunity to market your application idea to millions of users worldwide .
SDK of iPhone is available for download and any one can create and market their applications on the Apple App Store . This kit provides all the tools necessary for iPhone application development . There are companies who have successfully developed and marketed hundreds of applications for iPhone , and can be hired to develop your idea into an application .
iPhone applications are popular . iPhone users use these applications to have fun , perform tasks , surf the internet etc . iPhone is not just a phone today , it has become a very important part of its user's life .These were some of the benefits of why you should choose iPhone platform for your application development . But there are some restrictions put down by Apple for development and running of applications . Here are some restrictions which you should keep in mind before starting on your iPhone application idea .
Restrictions and limitations of iPhone applications
The most major restriction applied by Apple is that the users cannot run two applications at the same time , no matter how important both applications are . For example , if you are busy in one application and you need to open another application to complete your work , you will have to close the first application and then move on to the next one . This is sometimes frustrating , especially when you are surfing the internet or checking your email , and you receive a call , you will be disconnected from the server if you take the call and will have to sign in again .
Second limitation is that iPhone does not allow you to run third party applications in the back ground . This means that you are on an application chatting with someone and you receive a call . You will be disconnected from your chat window and shown offline to the other party once you take that call .
iOS version compatibility issues also arise sometimes . If you develop an application for the iOS 6 , you have to put in some extra effort and develop the application so that it would run on the previous versions as well . Although this issue has not been reported too much but still it is a problem for the developers and programmers .
Although these limitations and restrictions are sometimes frustrating but they haven't effected the sale of the iPhone or its popularity . iPhone still is the leading smart phone in the market capturing almost 30% of the smart phone market . Up until now there are almost 700 ,000 different iPhone applications available on the internet . We can clearly say that popularity and the benefits of iPhone application development over powers the limitations put forward by Apple.
