iOS Trends for 2021 — Stay… App to Date!
From the first mobile to the first smartphone and from the first iPhone to foldable phones, the world has completely changed over the last few decades. Smartphones have become the greatest technological empire the world has ever seen and their king and emperor remains the iPhone. That said, mobile applications are a very competitive field, for any company or entrepreneur who want to stay on top. With the total of iOS apps reaching the 2 million mark, it’s easy to understand the huge demand for iOS developers who are up to date with the latest trends.
Let’s take a look at the top trends in iOS development for 2021.
- The AR & ΑRKit Continuum
Augmented reality is something that keeps on evolving as every application developer has an increasing need to further understand and embrace it. iOS developers focus mostly on the ARkit, which simplifies the building of an AR experience by combining motion tracking, camera scene capture, advanced scene processing and display conveniences. Already major companies have started using the ARkit, which is believed to be the next big trend for 2021.
2. Core Machine Learning
The Core Machine Learning Framework enables developers to integrate their machine learning models into iOS applications. A valuable tool for any professional into app development, it is proving exceptional for any QuickType, Camera or Siri related apps, while it offers a vision for image analysis along with acting as a core for natural language processing. On top of those, it offers user-data privacy for improved security as well.
3. Internet of Things
IoT allows computing and digital devices to be linked to transmit data. If the iOS application supports IoT, it can provide users with effective resource management, better options to manage and protect data as well as less concerns about data privacy. Additionally, it facilitates customization and integration with APIs. While the buzz around IoT isn’t new, its future seems to be a lot prominent.
4. Cloud Storage Development
As 5G becomes more and more popular and widely used, cloud-based iOS apps will be even more sought after. These applications can automatically back up important files in the user’s phone. That automatically means that the app can direct resource-intensive tasks to the cloud and provide more device storage space.
5. Wearable Apps
Although the development of wearable apps is significantly tougher than mobile apps, it seems like the wearables are taking over the market. Due to the fact that smartwatches are quickly catching up to smartphones in features, 2021 will be one more year dedicated to enhancing the wearables even more. It is expected that intelligent smart watches will combine both worlds: the advancement of wearable technology and app development in order to ensure a tailored experience to their users.
iOS already has an interesting and eventful past, but more essentially it has a bright future and it will definitely shine in 2021. How do you see your future? If you’re interested in working for a company that understands the value of iOS development, check out our openings here.
