Swift was invented last year and it broke into the market with a whole new set of frameworks and methodologies.

It lets developers write reliable codes with the help of Xcode tools. This language is now widely being used for developing applications for iOS, WatchOS, and tvOS and the same has been predicted to continue in the entire year of 2016.

As per the research, more than 75 percent of apps are free and the number is going to be increased to more than 90 percent in the year 2016. The in-app purchases would be the revenue drivers. So, most of the iPhone apps will be free by the end of this year, so that maximum people can download and use them.

3. iBeacon for Geolocating:

Apple has introduced iBeacon to develop smarter applications that show location. The iOS app developers can build even smarter and better eCommerce and mCommerce apps using this feature. However, this year they are going to focus on incorporating this feature in iPhone apps in such a way that it results in lesser draining of battery.
