Nowadays, everywhere you turn, there is "iphone this" and "iphone that", or "this app" and "that app". The introduction of the iPhone led to an evolution that encouraged developers and the public alike to share their input. It is just unfortunate that software development is not a subject that everyone is knowledgeable about. But do not lose heart. It is also possible that you can learn how to develop an iphone app.
An iphone app gets its start from a single thought or idea. Do not settle on just any idea; it should be a solid and very good idea that can actually lead to something interesting. It's all right to look further down the road. Is it going to be useful? Is it something that can solve a problem? Is it capable of solving a unique and usually hard-to-solve problem? If it's not for problem-solving, will it entertain or amuse people?
It is not rare to see people who, instead of using their original ideas for apps, create their own upgraded and updated versions of existing applications. In such a scenario, is the upgraded version of the app worth picking it over the other, older, application?
After a well-thought out idea, time to assess what you have as your resources. Do you have, at your disposal, the needed tools for creating an iphone app? If you make a list of the tools you need, you should also make a list of what you already have, just to countercheck. If you are not sure what the necessary materials are, you can look them up in websites dedicated to guiding people on how to develop an iphone app. This will give you an easier time looking for those that you need and don't have.
You cannot hope to develop an iphone app with only tangible resources at your fingertips. What you should do is perform a self-assessment. Look at the skill set and talents that you can make use of. What could be your primary contribution to the creation and development of the application? Make a checklist of your skills and check them off with the skills requirement in the software development. You can probably contribute to the overall look or design of the app if you know something about graphics and other technical information. If you don't, you'd be better off leaving the technicals to the experts and simply deal with the marketing and research side of things.
