IPhone has been one of the most unique smart phones in the market, so much so that it can be said that it has the potential of overrunning the competition. The iPhone is not only empowered with the built in features but also has the capability of being customized with other add on features. The innovative strategy of starting the iTunes store to motivate the developers to develop new iPhone applications is worth a eulogy. This move increases the add-on features of the iPhone but also gives the developers a chance to earn money by using their iPhone application development skills.

There have been cases where the applications have not worked just because of blunders on the part of the application developer. Some of the most common mistakes that can be avoided are as follows.
Do Not Experiment:
Enough effort has been put in to develop the user interface that is currently being used in various applications. The developer will find lot of UI elements in the library of the SDK. There is hardly any need of developing a new UI. On the other hand it is possible that if you try to experiment and build a new UI it may complicate the matter and make the application unreliable. Thus it is always better to keep the application as simple as possible. There is no need of customizing the sidebars, buttons, tables and dialogs that you get from the SDK.
Right Resolution:
The screen of the iPhone is comparatively smaller than that of the laptop. So the developer may be tempted to embed large graphics in the application for better resolution but this usually backfires. A large graphic adds load to the application and finally slows it. When a small graphic can serve the purpose there is hardly any need to use a large graphic. The resolution can be perfect with small graphics too. This all depends on the technical expertise and experience of the application developer. One can embed two dimensional and three dimensional animations with the best of resolutions.
Job work:
There are a number of iPhone application developers that try developing multiple applications simultaneously. The developer should understand that the each application needs to deal with differently and with individual attention. Usually when the application developer takes multiple job work, he/she ends up mixing the application leading to utter confusion. This could lead to waste of time, money and resources not only on the part of the developer but also the client and final user.
It is better to avail the services of a professional iPhone application developer who has enough experience at delivering quality application and fulfilling the commitments made.
