iOS App Design

iOS users expect the highest quality visual experiences. We design native iOS applications that follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines, feel native to the platform, and stand out in a competitive App Store marketplace.

// Key benefits

What makes this service valuable

HIG-compliant design

We follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines precisely, navigation patterns, modal presentations, action sheets, tab bars, and gesture conventions that iOS users expect and trust.

Dynamic Type & accessibility

iOS apps must support Dynamic Type (user-controlled font size), Dark Mode, and VoiceOver. We design all states from the start, not as an afterthought.

App Store screenshot design

Your App Store presence is your conversion page. We design compelling app screenshots and preview videos that communicate value and drive downloads.

Designing for the Apple ecosystem

iOS design requires a deep understanding of the platform conventions that Apple users have internalised. Using the wrong navigation pattern or ignoring system behaviours creates an experience that feels foreign, and users will abandon it.

We design iOS apps in Figma using the official Apple iOS UI kit as a foundation, then build custom components that align with your brand while maintaining platform coherence.

// What this includes

  • iPhone (all sizes) and iPad design
  • Dark Mode and Light Mode designs
  • Dynamic Type support at all accessibility text sizes
  • VoiceOver and accessibility annotations
  • App Store screenshots and preview design
  • Widget and notification design where applicable
  • Onboarding flow design

// Deliverables

// In practice

How ios app design engagements run

Designs follow Apple HIG — SF Symbols, native navigation patterns, Dynamic Type support — and App Store screenshot safe zones. Dark mode and accessibility contrast validated on OLED and LCD reference devices. Handoff includes SwiftUI-friendly spacing and component naming aligned to your codebase conventions.

// FAQ

Common questions about ios app design

Do you follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines?+

Yes, HIG compliance is non-negotiable for iOS apps. We use Apple-native navigation patterns, gesture conventions, and UI components. Where we deviate for brand reasons, we document the rationale and ensure the experience still feels native.

Do you design for both iPhone and iPad?+

We design for iPhone by default. iPad design is an additional deliverable that requires layout adaptation, not just scaling, split views, sidebars, and multitasking all need specific design treatment.

What does App Store screenshot design include?+

We design up to 10 screenshots per device size (6.7-inch, 5.5-inch, 12.9-inch iPad) plus an optional preview video storyboard. Effective screenshots tell a story about the app in 2–3 seconds.
