Hello, iOS is out for around 6+ years now. I am computer programmer but involved in more towards data management, backend stuff. I am planning to learn iOS app development. I am 28 years old now. What is your opinion on learning at this stage ? Where do you see future of iOS from here ?

I think you'll safely get a few years out of the skill set, as even if it starts downhill now IOS has a large footprint. It's also not a bad way to get familiar with objective C, and many of the tools and frameworks can be used for OS X development.
