I've got somewhat of a background in ios development, and i'd like to break into ios design as well, to make my apps look better. What books, blogs and articles do you recommend?

Im sure I have missed loads of really good ones, so looking forward to discovering some more via this ask!

Great list!

One blog that I follow is iDev Recipes. While not purely a design blog, it shows how to replicate interesting UI elements from nicely designed apps. http://idevrecipes.com/

Excellent link. This is exactly what I was looking for. Any other sites like this?

Thanks for the recommendation! iDevRecipes is my blog. I welcome any feedback.

It isn't a blog, but I would highly recommend picking up a copy of iOS Recipes by Matt Drance and Paul Warren: http://pragprog.com/titles/cdirec/ios-recipes. It has a bunch of little tips and tricks in it on making your app work and behave better in general.

Also highly recommend their The Complete Friday Q&A; it's a book compiled from their Friday articles that covers advanced topics in Mac OS X and iOS programming.
