Simplifying user interfaces may sound like a mechanical task, but what lies beneath the surface of user interface design? The answer is simple: users. And what do users want? What makes them all warm and fuzzy? How do you deliver what they want so that they don’t even notice how they are consuming information?

Design is a mixed discipline of information-development for media intermission to communicate with people. Here ‘people’ stands for active users when design is the subject for application or product or any other visual presentation. If we talk about mobile application, it’s important to focus on the user visibility through which users can interact with device. And the rest is the size and resolution of the device’s screen. Otherwise it may be difficult for the users if the interface design ultimately fails to connect with the users’ eyes.
As iPhone platform is much more popular amongst enthusiast users, the usability point of iPhone application should be the main matter for developing an iPhone application story board which describes the app flow and the desired user interaction. Before developing the application, wireframe building of any app idea is the most important task for any iPhone Application Developer; and that framework describes all the screens and the expected user interaction. The main features of the project and wireframe of such a storyboard of the iPhone native app creates an effect to brainstorm and verify the application flow.
Application prototyping is an important part of the software design process. It’s the first stop in which you lay out a rough user interface and define the basics of user interaction you expect from your iPhone app. A detailed storyboard and prototype of an iPhone app also allows our designers and developers to create much more detailed and accurate estimates of the involved effort to deliver the app to the iTunes App Store.
What else does UI require for a straightforward interface? A “standard control” is an interface element that is available as a native item in the Apple’s Interface Builder library. Interface Builder is an Apple app which is used to build the necessary resources for iPhone and Mac OS X apps to work through a standard GUI and is part of the Apple’s iPhone SDK.
So, for developing good user interfaces, iPhone application developers bring advanced features within the easy reach of inexperienced users. Such was the genius of the SRI-Xerox-Apple interface embodied in the Mac, and such is the genius of the iPhone interface.
Inspite of these, iPhone lacks one important thing i.e. keypad, this limitation makes the iPhone feel just a little bit primitive. But still iPhone is a triumph. So its touch interface would certainly have a room for improvement.
