iOS application development trends keep on changing year on year.<\/p>\n

We really had a great and exciting year when we talk about iOS trends. We saw the major update on iOS 11 and this update is making us crazy behind the features that it brought up. Also, with Apple brings such huge updates, iOS trends are likely to upgrade.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not wait a moment further and check out what is going to happen with our very own iOS app development industry in the year 2018 & beyond:<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Augmented Reality<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Augmented_Reality\"
\nIn September 2017, iOS 11 launched with a great list of features. The most important and highly hyped update is the Augmented Reality Apps.<\/p>\n

You might have heard that Amazon announced Sumerian application platform <\/a> in support with the Apple\u2019s ARKit. This platform is compatible with Apple\u2019s ARKit framework which will allow the iPad and iPhone application developers to develop augmented reality, virtual reality, and other 3D apps.<\/p>\n

Well, big giants have already started investing in developing platforms in support with the Apple\u2019s ARKit framework. So, we believe that 2018 is going to see many more AR\/VR apps for iPhone & iPad users.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Core Machine Learning<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Core
\nApple brought a machine learning framework, called the Core ML. Apple already uses this machine learning framework for various products like Camera, Siri & QuickType.<\/p>\n

iPhone developers can make use of this Core ML in any of the iOS applications to make it more feature-rich. For this, they just have to add a few lines of code to the apps along with the framework code.<\/p>\n

Core ML comes with various libraries with the computer vision techniques to detect faces, natural language processing, and AI game development. All these 3 libraries are going to change the way we used to interact with the devices. Security will be enhanced with the apps that detect faces to operate certain functionalities. The gaming industry is actually going to see some real world gaming powers.<\/p>\n

This proves that with Core Machine Learning, iPhone developers are going to develop highly smart and interactive applications in the coming years.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Swift4<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n\"Swift<\/p>\n

We all know Swift – our very own Apple\u2019s general-purpose programming language that is pre-compiled for iOS, macOS, tvOS & Linux. While introducing Swift 4, Apple says, that Swift is the most powerful programming language which is also easy to learn.<\/p>\n

Swift 4 has the strengths of Swift 3 and has great potential of creating highly robust & scalable applications. This upgradation will help the iOS developers to build the apps faster without compromising on the security features while developing the apps. In fact, the apps developed using Swift 4 will consume less memory of your devices.<\/p>\n

We see 2018 to be completely filled with safer and faster iOS app development with Swift 4.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4. Artificial Intelligence & Contextual Learning for Siri<\/span><\/h2>\n

Siri – one of our favorite intelligent personal assistant from Apple Inc. We have been crazy for it since it\u2019s launched and it has been improving since then. Siri well understands what we speak and what we are actually looking for.<\/p>\n

Now, with artificial intelligence and contextual learning, Siri offers a GPS pin while you are messaging. Also, Siri works as a task manager that allows you to access your Citi Mobile App and even a QR code for WeChat.<\/p>\n

So, Siri\u2019s AI is going to be trending in the upcoming years.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5. Apple Pay<\/span><\/h2>\n

What is Apple Pay?<\/strong>
\n\"apple<\/p>\n

Apple pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service that allow iOS users to make payment using various iOS platforms – iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac.<\/p>\n

Apple Pay is highly trending where people looking to buy products or services online.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check out a few interesting stats on using Apple Pay during the last few years:<\/p>\n
