Games have been an integral part of iPhone application development. As Apple kept on adding new features to its smartphone, the craze for games kept on increasing. While the advanced iPhone features proved to be a boon for gamers, the same features increased the task of the game developers. They not only have to get technical details, but they also need to make necessary amendments to the existing applications. In addition, they need to gain expertise in all the latest tools and technologies in order to build new iPhone games.

Apple’s iPhone 5 brought lots of extra new features with itself, but while on one hand the features have opened gateways for developers to develop stunning games, those same features have brought new challenges for the developers. They will have to sharpen their skills further and will have to carry out quite a few experiments to see whether they can make suitable games for the platform. However, there are some features that serve as boon for them. Let’s have a look at the features that the developers might have to face during iPhone 5 game development.

A Taller Screen

The 4-inch Retina Display is one of the boastful features of iPhone 5, and though the users are in love with it, the developers might be having a hard time with it. The larger screen might be a reason of rejoice for the new iPhone game developers, but it has doubled the task of all those who already have their games up and running in the AppStore because they’ll now have to update their existing games and make it compatible for the larger screen.

A Powerful Chip

The powerful A6 chip has speeded the CPU and graphics performance. Certainly, the games are simply going to be ‘WOW’ for the users. The developers have also agreed on the fact that this particular feature is certainly going to enhance the performance of their games. Though the new chip offers more opportunities than challenges, it may crop up problems for the existing games. In order to make the games more intriguing for the new iPhone, the developers may have to add few more features to the existing ones. The iPhone gamers would find plenty of intriguing games, and in this scenario it becomes necessary for the developers to add new elements to the games that utilize the powerful processor and make it more robust.

A New iOS

Though Apple released the beta version of its new iOS months ago, it still remains a problem for the developers because iOS 6 brings in lots of additional features into the platform, and developers have to be sure that their games run smoothly on the new iOS.

Besides the above features, developers also need to master the new iOS 6 SDK and Xcode 4.5, and the other latest tools provided by Apple for third-party app development. As far as the gamers are concerned, they don’t need to be worried about these aspects because it’s not long before the AppStore would be loaded with games that are built exclusively for Apple’s latest smartphone because the developers would soon overcome these challenges and supply users with powerful games. But, if you want to have your own customized game, then you’ll certainly need to hire iPhone 5 game developer.
