Experience:
The foremost consideration while selecting an application developer is the experience and expertise at the latest technology. The developer should have enough experience to make the best use of the resources and the technology available in the SDK. Again there are developers who may claim of having enough experience when in fact, they lack that. The best way to double check this claim is through having a direct interaction with the earlier clients of that developer. An experienced iPhone application developer will always have a good portfolio and references of satisfied clients on the tip of his/her tongue.

Affordability:
The price quoted by the application developer should be affordable. The application could be made affordable in two ways. The first option is to lower the charges levied by the service provider through negotiations. The second option is to keep the charges as quoted by the service provider but getting more returns on the investment by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the application. The client at this stage needs to take into account the maximum possible revenue generation through the maximum utility of the application and then ascertain the budget to be allocated for iPhone app development.

Limitations of Word of mouth:
One can trust maximum the word of mouth references and recommendations, but this has got some limitations too. The circumstances of the referee may be quite different from those that prevail in the current business scenario.

Comparison:
Quotes from different services provider could help comparing the prices and the services offered. This could lay the basis of negotiating the costing with the service provider.

Transparency:
The developer should be transparent in the dealings especially when it pertains the terms and conditions of payment and development of the application. There should be a person employed by the service provider to monitor the development of the application and be responsible for the success of the iPhone application.

The professionalism and effective communication ability for understanding the objective of the application should be demonstrated by the iPhone application development service provider.
