How Much Does It Cost To Develop an iPhone app development?

Especially, I wish to know about DC iPhone app development companies

An app that says "hi"… Probably about $2.50 for their time. An app that does alot more stuff will surely cost more.

I spent about $1000 and three months of initial work to get out my first iOS app.
Most of that was the new Mac mini. Then there was the $99 so I could have Apple market it on their App Store. I got back the monetary cost back in month. Probably not typical.

  • Join me to develop an iPhone app? If you want to help me develop an IPhone app or just want to learn how to code an iPhone app let me know, I been coding with Xcode about a year now.
  • Is there an inexpensive way to develop an app? I'm a college student with a few ideas for iPhone apps that I would like to release. The only problem is that the cost for developing one seems to be a little on the high side for me and is money I don't really have at the moment (I have less than $500 saved up). Does anyone have any recommendations on what would be the most inexpensive way to develop a quality app for IPhones and Android devices?
  • Is the $999 2012 11 Macbook Air good enough for iphone game/app development? I want to make games and apps for iphone and ipod touch so bad but not sure if the specs of the 11" 2012 mba are good enough seeing that the processor is at 1.7 ghz. I plan on upgrading the ram when i buy it to 8gb. Will this mac be good enough to develop games and app for iphone and ipod touch smoothly?
