iOS Design Guidelines for iPhone

Comprehensive rules derived from Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Apply these when building, reviewing, or refactoring any iPhone app interface.

1. Layout & Safe Areas

Impact: CRITICAL

Rule 1.1: Minimum 44pt Touch Targets

All interactive elements must have a minimum tap target of 44x44 points. This includes buttons, links, toggles, and custom controls.

Correct:

Button("Save") { save() }
    .frame(minWidth: 44, minHeight: 44)
