Why is the iPhone so great?
This is a question we get asked a lot. The answer lies in the iPhone's fantastic design. The iPhone has a screen resolution of 163dpi - that's more than twice the resolution of a computer screen. The new "Retina Display" used in an iPhone 4 and new iPod touch is twice that! It also supports movement and multi-touch in it's interface, making iPhone apps very natural to use. The iPhone has excellent stability, which means that apps rarely crash, and the phone features are cleverly integrated for ease of use.
The iPhone has the single highest internet usage of any mobile device. This is partly because of Apple's insistance that all providers should allow uncapped access to all data. For iPhone users, this means that phone, internet, emails and other data or entertainment are all easily accessed with a finger touch.
Are there any considerations when designing / developing native mobile apps for iPhone
For a mobile app developer the iPhone has a few unusual characteristics. Firstly, it is a phone so it can ring at any moment. This means that data has to be stored in case it has to close in a hurry. The iPhone has no buttons which means the user interface is constructed differently. The phone has a limited screen area, so an iPhone application developer must make best use of the available screen, ensuring all navigation items and content are included clearly and concisely.
How can an iPhone app help my business?
If you have information that you provide for people then the iPhone is the ideal medium for you. iPhone application development can also help promote a service as a form of viral marketing. This works by providing an element of fun or entertainment that potential customers will watch or use, whilst raising their awareness of the product. The right iPhone application can make a lot of money. There have now been over seven billion downloads from the app store, and while apps are priced often at less than a pound, there is a very large potential profit to be made on highly subscribed downloads. This is even more the case with the advent of in-app purchasing, push messaging and bonjour peer-peer communication and multitasking.
What does it cost?
The number of options for iPhone applications are limitless, so MS Internet will work out a specification for the mobile application before we can give a price. Roughly speaking a simple utility can be from £1,000-5,000, but a more complex app with custom animation, multiple sections or complicated scripting can cost anything from £5,000-20,000. More complex mobile applications can be more than this, particularly if you need us to design the application or create content for the app as well.
