I’m often asked how I keep up with all the new API’s available for an iPhone developer at each OS patch, and really the secret is just keeping up with some blogs. I use Google Reader, place the blogs in there, and skim over them. There’s alot of great blogs out there, these are the 10 that I currently keep in my Google Reader. You’ll go nuts trying to keep up with everything, I tried for awhile, but now I find I can get up to speed just with these resources.
iCodeBlog – Tremendous source of iPhone tutorials types. These guys have been coming out with tutorials since the very beginning, and they’ve got all sorts of Cocoa Touch tutorials here on popular topics like games, and twitter clients.
Cocoa With Love – An excellent Cocoa blog that also has severly terrific iPhone specific posts. This site occasionally gets into more advanced topics, and is an extremely high quality blog that has been around forever.
Jeff Lamarche’s Blog – A lot of great tutorials here from one of the co-authors of Beginning iPhone 3 Development. Use the search to get to the meat as there’s just so much here.
How To Make An iPhone App - Probably the best written iPhone specific blog out there, hasn’t t really gotten into advanced topics, but is updated frequently. Excellent for the beginner and created by the writer of How To Make an iPhone App downloadable ebook.
iPhone Development Bits – These guys go out and find the best iPhone development articles out there to put on their page. There’s lots of good resources to be found through here.
Cocos2D iPhone - Official Blog for the Cocos2D iPhone open source game engine, and future home of the programming guide (currently being written). If you’re interested in getting started with games on the iPhone this is a must bookmark.
Cocoa Is My Girlfriend – Cocoa is my girlfriend has been writing about Cocoa development for an extremely long time, and includes a large number of tutorials on Cocoa topics, although not specifically iPhone there is a lot of useful stuff here.
iPhone Incubator – Some excellent tutorials and tip for iPhone developers here. Assorted beginner->intermediate topics.
Adeem Basraa’s Blog – Some pretty good beginner focused tutorials out here.
Mobile Orchard – Has some good tutorials. They are somewhat hidden, and you’ll need to search to find them.
That’s it for my top 10 favorite iPhone developer blogs. If there’s any great, and active, ones out there that I’ve missed please mention them below.
Bummer I didn't make the list…but found some good links through your post
Thanks

Haha.. I'm adding you to my rss feeds list. Your site was on it before, but I was using flock as a reader, and in one of the upgrades lost it all.
The tutorials category on Mobile Orchard is in the main navigation bar at the top of the page.
one more for the list – check out our iphone developer blog here: http://www.syntheticbits.com/blog
just added a post about 2.2.1 compliance. it's early on but we're trying to do a mix of dev and store-related topics.
Yes, but if you look at that page perhaps 1/5 are actually tutorials. Most are news announcements even in the tutorials category.
Great to see all the blogs together…
Another blog with latest news on the iPhone development resources available for iPhone Programmers at http://iphonedevelopmentbits.com/
I like Concentric Sky. They have an interesting perspective.

Nice blogs. However the fourth link is wrong. http://howtomakeaniphoneapp.com/ is about the ebook 'How To Make an iPhone App', you probably mean the blog http://howtomakeiphoneapps.com/ (indeed created by the writer of the ebook).
Good catch, fixed. Thankyou.
Wish I'd made the list. http://letstalkiphone.com/ … we're actively looking for bloggers. It's set up so that bloggers get automatic exposure for their apps, and get ad revenue from their pages. Check the “your app here” link on the page.
[...] Maniac Dev – Offers news updates and commentary on iPhone features, tutorials, and even has an excellent top ten list of their own. [...]
I would like to add the following website to this iPhone blog list: pay as you go mobile phones website list all the best providers of iPhone including the best network operators such as Orange, O2 and Vodafone.
All these network operators are now selling the iPhone device on payasyougo mobile phones plans.
