Ios Design Patterns

iOS Design Principles

• Deference: Content is the focus. UI recedes.
• Clarity: Text is readable, icons are precise, function is obvious.
• Depth: Visual layers and motion create hierarchy.

Key Patterns

• Navigation: Tab bar (bottom, 5 max) + Navigation bar (top, back button + title).
• Lists: UITableView style with chevron disclosure indicators.
• Actions: Action sheets from bottom, alerts centered.
• Gestures: Swipe-to-delete, pull-to-refresh, edge-swipe-back.
• Safe areas: Respect notch, home indicator, rounded corners.

Typography

• SF Pro for UI text. SF Mono for code.
• Dynamic Type support (user-adjustable text sizes).
• Large Title style for primary screens.
