As we are in the last quarter of 2015, this is the best time to give brief information about the upcoming trends of mobile app in 2016.

App Security:-
As per Gartner’s prediction, it has seen that 3 out of 4 mobile apps have failed for basic security tests in 2015. And, security is the main issue that app developers have struggled to find out throughout the year and also the focus will remain in 2016 as well. Apple’s iOS 9 and Google’s Android Marshmallow have already included their high-end security protocol. Those apps which are storing highly sensitive personal information, in that developers simply cannot give polish over the security gaps in their applications.

Wearable Technology:-
Google Glass might have come and gone, wearable Technology was one of the hottest topics in tech and consumer electronics industries in 2015.Wearable device’s apps are mostly focused on the healthcare industry, but by the beginning of 2016 Wearable devices are expected to be used by the enterprises to improve their productivity and efficiency.Developers will be transferring their own concentration from Smartphones to wearable device applications for enterprise and various industries in 2016.

Cloud Technology:-
Like 2015, cloud technology will continue to play an essential role in mobile app development in 2016.With the rise in the usage of multiple mobile devices and wearable devices, developers have to give importance on the ability to incorporate and synchronize their apps on multiple devices.The cloud technology will help developers to work on functionalities that can be used on any mobile device with the same functions, features and data.

Shorter app development cycles:-
As the demand of mobile app is increasing, the mobile app development companies will start focusing on the rapid development that means reducing the time frame between ideation to launch. A faster app development time frame will allow companies to survive in this fiercely competitive domain. The absence of delays will satisfy clients too.

Growing popularity of enterprise App:-
It has been predicted that, in 2016, 35% of all big enterprises are expected to have their own app development platform. And, for the reason of that third party enterprise developers are standing to gain the profit in such a scenario. In fact, at present over 42% enterprise app developers have monthly revenue of $ 10000, as because of growing such popularity of enterprise app. So, in 2016, there will be a great opportunity for mobile app developers for developing applications for the Enterprise market.

Revolution in the Automotive World by Apple with iCar

The automotive world is having involvement of different types in this year. These involvements were not being started by Chinese car companies or Uber entering the automobile market. However,these concerns have been accomplished by the fact that Apple Inc. may be entering into the automobile industry by developing its own car.

If Apple is going to develop a car, that car would be highly sophisticated like their software and hardware has so far been.It would be extremely stylish and innovative like their mobile phones that they used to develop over the years.The car would be more advanced than their phones.For that, the company has taken different steps that have hinted that there would be a possibility of developing a car.

Features of Apple’s iCar:-

1) Windshield features four times as many pixels as reality

2) Incorporation with Apple Gasoline

3) The driver is prompted to sign into the iCloud before each gear shift

4) Compatible with most major roads

5) Suggests new driving speeds based on user’s past favorites

7) The sticker price of $85,000 drops to $199 with two-year Verizon contract

8) Wheels turn into rainbow pinwheels whenever car stalls

9) Lightweight but powerful enough to careen across six lanes of traffic and through guardrails of the overpass

10) Comes with a large number of cool Apple stickers.

News around the motor world has suggested that Apple has been finding automotive experts from other companies to be assisted in their preparations. Apple has hired so many automobile experts from different companies like Mercedes and Tesla and also other companies in the motor world. Apple has already taken some test drive on the public road in San Francisco.The company has had several discussions with California DMV and GoMentum Station. The GoMentum is having a naval base just outside of San Francisco. And, that base is supposed to have 20 miles of everyday public transport situations for Apple to test its cars on, including highways. They have set some armed soldiers patrolling on that base at all times to stop anyone getting a look inside.

The news of making a car by Apple would surely cause huge waves in the motor world. This is as because of the fact that Apple is a high-quality software and hardware developer.So if the company uses the same radical technological concepts that they have used in the phone industry, then it is clear that they are going to develop incredible features like self-driving capabilities.
