Let us dig in these frameworks for a better understanding of Apple development process.  

Focus

Apple has worked on focus engine that helps users seamlessly navigate through different elements of iOS App development. We develop applications with open-ended interfaces, allowing the user to navigate freely from one app to the other. Our software development experts provide linear navigation for ease of navigation. The focus engine provides context for the user's interaction by giving emphasis to elements that are currently in focus. The focus on application development is made through zooming in and giving feedback.

tvOS introduced a feature which gives a parallax effect to the users. Parallax effect It increases user interface making it easy and more attractive. This effect is created through images including the background, middle and foreground image. The entire layout which is created helps in generating amazing effects within the application.
