Are you interested in designing some apps to give to other people to program or would you rather program them yourself?
If you are more interested in designing them for other people to program then all you will need to do is open up your favourite image editor and start designing. You will be able to find templates for different phones in various places online and that is all you will need.
However, if you want to program them yourself then you can either learn Java or Objective-C. Objective-C is used to program iPhone, iPad and Mac apps whereas Java is used for Android and various other things.
Please note that to write iPhone apps using Objective-C you will need to own a Mac.
I hope this helps you out, please feel free to ask any more questions.

If you have a Mac then it is up to you whether you develop Android or iOS games whereas if you use Linux or Windows you have no choice but to develop Android.

iOS is for apple. Objective-c and new language swift . Java is android and you can use it on mac , with visual studio and eclipse .
If you want to design a game like flappy bird , its a 2D game so yo uwill need to have different images that changes.
If you want to design something like 3D game racing , than I gues that's modelling in 3D as you may see on photoshop .
If you want to design and code your app. I recommend to start learning how to code right now because it will take time to understand it .
The first month so or week , depends on you , it may be hard but just push your self and you will get better at it.
if you have a design and fairly simple app, you may learn and then practice adding your graphics.
Hope it helped.
