FREMONT, CA: The mobile application development industry is incessantly evolving. Consumer demands, technological advancements, and a broad range of other aspects directly impact mobile application trends. Thus, staying updated with the newest trends is arguably the most critical feature of this space's success.

Below are principal app development trends that will continue to rule in the coming days.

Internet of Things (IoT) App Integration

The growth in mobile penetration across wide-ranging sectors and groups has created seemingly infinite opportunities for the IoT. Consequently, people have grown familiarized with using technology to boost their everyday life.

The IoT defines the growing network of connected devices to the Internet, offering convenience and automatic control to users. Smart home technology is one example of seeing the rise in IoT and mobile app development. Mobile applications can be used to alter the thermostat in a house from a remote site, connect to home security systems, and lock or unlock a front door. Refrigerators and other domestic appliances can also be coupled to mobile applications seamlessly. The international IoT market is projected to reach $194 billion in 2020, where $143 billion of the estimation comes from software, like mobile applications. That constitutes a 14% increase from 2019.

Applications for Foldable Devices

Phones have changed the way of life relentlessly over the last decade. Smartphones with one or no buttons have taken over the market. Over the past years, foldable tools have begun making a comeback. They fold to compress or enlarge the screen size depending on the user preferences. For instance, a user can call with the phone closed but watch a video on a larger screen by unfolding the device.

Content creators and resellers need to account for the equipment when building or updating an application from an application development perspective. Now, foldable is just a fragment of the total smartphone market share and will see an alteration in the coming years. According to a 2019 study, 19% of Android and 17% of iPhone users are excited about buying a handset with a foldable design.
