Below, I have listed out few very basic, but essential tips developers should always keep in mind while getting into iPhone Game Development.
1. Hardware Requirement
The requirements are minimum for game development. The necessary iOS is to be installed on the development machine. The Intel-based processor is needed to develop an iPhone Game. Mac PC or Mac book can be used for better development. The non-Intel based processor cannot be used for iPhone game development. An iPhone simulator which is available in SDK can also be used for development but it causes a problem while testing the application’s GPS functionality or accessing ...
... the internet from within the application.

2. Understanding Resources
Before developing the game you should get familiar with the general environment for the development. Read the detail tutorials about the environment and IDE on iOS development center. It includes information about the tools, resources and useful tips. The next step is to get yourself registered with the apple development center as a developer and pay $99. This will provide you all the necessary tools, tips, iOS SDK’s, xCode, iOS Simulator and so on....…

3. Proper Tools
Selecting the wrong tool for iPhone game development is a waste of time, energy and money. Your effective and hard effort will go in vain if your tool is not proper according to your game.
Tools you can use:- Unity, iTorque, Cocos 2D, Oolong Engine, ShiVa, iPhone Game Kit etc.

5. Programming

Developing an iPhone game is not possible for any non-programmer in c and c++.

6. Quality of Game
The quality of the code, UI design, graphics etc. are the keys making your iPhone game a successful venture, so make sure you keep in mind all the quality aspects while developing a game for an iPhone.

So while developing a game you should keep in mind that the user is playing the game for enjoyment and not for getting tired.
