If you look at the app submission rate in itunes, this month has been asymmetrical. The number of apps submitted in the app store has been considerably low and the reason is deployment of iOS 7. A lot of iPhone app development companies have not been able to get along with the iOS 7 app designing standards. However, many iPhone app developers have already mastered the visual aspects of iOS 7, submitting some awesome looking apps. Openxcell Technolabs, a prominent iPhone app development company is one of the front runners in early adoption of iOS 7. Openxcell has deployed some fantastic apps in iOS 7 and has emerged out as one of the best iPhone app development company (as rated by best web design company).
What is special in iOS 7?
iOS 7 is special in the sense as you would already know that it boasts a reinvented UI with flat icons. A lot of analysis has already been done to justify that iOS 7 is just a cosmetic upgrade that is done just to make a numeral transaction from 6 to 7. However companies like Openxcell understood the purpose of the change and redesigned many applications with designing aspects of iOS7.
Apple believes that people are already adapted to the iOS operating system. The ornamentation, 3d effects of the icons and other stuffs that followed a skeuomorphic pattern is no longer needed now. People can understand flatter icons and non- skeuomorphic things. Hence going towards a lighter design that reduced clutter made a lot of sense.
More opportunities for iPhone app developers
Developers at Openxcell say that designing for iOS needed a real Photoshop master as skeuomorphic 3d icons and shadows needs serious designing skills. However with iOS7, flat icons will be much easier to produce for developers who have decent Photoshop skills. Overall, iOS 7 will give more emphasis on the idea of the app while doing away with skeuomorphism. Hence it is obvious now that the focus of iPhone app development will go more into the core idea of the application and not get stuck due to the design complexities.
Openxcell has already done a commendable work and more iPhone app developers will be following in soon.
