1. How Will iOS App Development Evolve
Over The Next Five Years?
In virtual macrocosm, technologies have been flourishing and
have become one of the sheer essentials for everyday life.
With the commencement of the first iPhone in 2007, iOS app
development has uplifted in various ways. With the evolution
of technologies, the future is seen to be completely based on
these concepts. Even if you look back 10-15 years ago, you
will not have known the functionality of smartphones, mobile
applications, web browsers, email systems, integrated maps,
replacement of QWERTY keypads with touchscreens and so
much more.

2. Just when the iPhone could not offer with too many applications,
the iOS app development company launched the Apple Store.
This served to be a boon for the Apple users. Let's delve into the
concept of how iOS evolved in these years.
1. Multi-tasking
Since the commencement of iOS, the iOS app developers have
been working hard to present you with the best Operating
System. It has got the functionality of multi-tasking as well as
the potentiality of sync option with Apple's other devices paving
way for enhanced and integrated user experience.

3. 2. Storage Management
Previously iOS development did not have Automatic Reference
Counting and due to this, it leads to too many bugs. With the launch
of ARC in 2011 with Xcode 2.4, Reference counting code got the
feature of being inserted automatically into the code through ARC.
3. Layout
Another major thing launched by Apple was the Auto Layout
features. With the inception of different sizes and screen of the
iPhone and iPad, the development of this feature served as a
blessing in disguise. The formulation of StackView though looks
complicated when you hire iOS developers, it becomes easier to
merge layout and resizing masks.

4. 4. Siri and Maps
● With the introduction of iOS 13, Apple's voice assistant can
do much more than just connecting calls. It will guide you
with its natural language, provide you with details of
accepting the call or not when you are not available and so
much more. Apple now has introduced its Maps with
enlightened features which are capable of being in
compatibility with Google Maps.
● There are just some of the features that have been
enhanced with new features and implementation of
technologies conducted by certified developers. iOS app
development companies have been taking up the
functionality of new technologies that are seen to create
involvement in the coming years.

5. 5. Artificial Intelligence

6. ● Artificial Intelligence serves to be an exemplary prototype.
With passing days, developers and technical experts are
blending the concept of both technologies to curate AI-
based iOS application. Different global brands have been
implementing the use of this technology for smoothing
functioning of AI-based apps like Starbucks.
● In the coming years, you will be able to get hold of more
AI apps on iOS that will completely transform the
traditional methodology of conducting daily chores of life.
There will be a new application that will make your daily
life and making the right choices way easier.

7. 6. Internet of Things

8. ● With passing time, Internet of Things, popularly known as IoT
keeps getting engaging and better. As mentioned before, your
daily life is nothing without the internet. Starting from the
mobile phone, television, Apple TV, other devices, headsets,
lights, doorbells, security systems and so much more;
everything is internet-based. Here, iOS app development is not
improving the experience to look around at things. Rather you
will be presented with realistic and top-notch choices that you
take up in relevance of the information you have got access to.
● IoT is flourishing in most of the domain for its ethical usability.
This further covers industry domains like hospitality,
automobile, retail industry and others. It is quite amusing to
delve into understanding how the trends have been developing
and reaching every sector within a span of the next few years.
It is the change for the good. Along with this, collaborating
with AI, IoT has got the capability to elevate customer
experience on a global scale.

9. 7. Cloud-Based Application

10. ● The experienced iOS app developers have predicted that
cloud-based application is going to acquire the paparazzi
in the world of iOS development. In a span of 5 to 7 years,
global brands, international businesses and industries will
be owning at least one native cloud-based application.
● The power of enlarging technologies is rising to a new
peak. Another aspect that might take you to surprise is
that nearly 80 percent of this market of the cloud-based
the application might be owned by Google and Amazon.
This serves that 20 percent of the Apple community will be
able to access this technology. To acquire a bigger market,
several iOS app developments needs to work on their
skills and implement their place in the online marketing
industry

11. ● Apart from the same, Apple could end up dominating this
sector with the implementation of a few innovations in the
next few years. The revolution is already seen. From the
journey of iPhone launched in 2007 to implementation of
App Store, updates installed in the operating system to
launch of iOS 13 with new exclusive features.

12. 8. Augmented Reality

13. ● Another technology which is creating a great buzz in the
market is Augmented Reality, also known as AR. It
acquired a lot of attention with its inception back when
Pokemon Go was introduced to the virtual enthusiasts. This
virtual hunting game grabbed so much popularity that is
ranked in about $950 million in 2016 and close to $900
million in 2017, making it a huge hit.
● In the coming few years, AR will create a new revolution
for curating stunning and user-friendly trend in games and
events. This trend will be envisioned in the iOS application
created in the coming years.

14. 9. Machine Learning

15. ● Apple is creating a huge buzz with its association with
Machine Learning and AI. With the formulation of iOS 13,
the gap between Siri and its rivals like Google Assistant
stands head to head. And within the coming years, their
technologies are here to stay and only get better. iOS app
developers are making use of the technologies for the
enhancement in the functionality and user-friendly
experience for any domain. It could include scheduling
based on data, diagnosing medical conditions, chatbots
helping and clever sensors built-in iPhone and Apple
Watch.

16. ● Google is making use of Machine Learning in the most
incredible way to transform our lives in the future. In the
same way, iOS is going no less. Apple's Core ML is that
framework that further makes it easier for the developers
for the integration of machine learning into the application
with the easy structure of coding. And this implementation
is already seen in Music Play and some other specifications
and will be seen more in enhanced applications in the
coming years.

17. Final Words -
iOS is creating a change in the modern world of application
development. There are other functionalities will serve as a boon as
paving the pathway to updated technological trends. In the next few
years, iOS development will evolve and for the good.
