The success of apple iPhone has meant that iPhone application developers and iPhone app development companies have to grapple with an increasing need for custom iphone applications. This has placed a burden on the iphone app developers and iPhone app development companies alike to build custom iPhone apps in a timely manner, that meet the demands and expectations of the user.

Iphone app developers and companies should however be wary of the applications that are designed and developed for displaying the skills and expertise of the developer, rather than keeping the user in mind. Making the applications complex, also means more mistakes that may be easy to rectify, but difficult to identify.

The general tendency for iPhone app developers who are new to iPhone app development, is to start from scratch, which is neither necessary nor advisable. Iphone provides an SDK, that has lot of inbuilt buttons, sidebars, dialog etc., and building custom UIs, for those built-in means more mistakes and therefore be avoided.

Some custom iphone app developers just do not worry about the resolution. Incorporating high resolution videos or images, slows down the app, while low quality images, irritate the user. Finding the right resolution for your application that is in tune with screen resolution is necessary.

The retina display technology on the apple iPhone 4, is best utilized with HD graphical content. Custom iPhone app developers should try to incorporate HD graphical content on their applications.

The penchant for catchy applications should not lead to over-emphasis on animation. Animations increases the size of the application and hamper performance. Therefore, they should be used carefully, when required.

Iphone 4 supports multitasking and this should be taken care of by app developers. Multitasking allows an application to run in a suspended state (and still give audio alerts) when the user accepts a call or does some other task.

The above mistakes in iPhone application development may seem minor, but can drain your resources. Overcoming these mistakes in your iPhone apps greatly improves the iPhone app quality.
