Apple announces the best apps and games of 2021 on its ecosystem

It’s the last month of the year already — December. It’s when some major corporations share data with their users about how they’ve used their services in the past 11 months. Spotify and other music streaming services, for example, allow you to check the statistics revolving around your listening habits. And Google has already shared its list of top apps and games for this year. Apple is no stranger to this annual event, and it has also announced its equivalent list. It will be sending physical awards to the winners, too — as it has done yearly for over a decade now.

In a newsroom post, Tim Cook — Apple’s CEO — stated:

The developers who won App Store Awards in 2021 harnessed their own drive and vision to deliver the best apps and games of the year — sparking the creativity and passion of millions of users around the world. From self-taught indie coders to inspiring leaders building global businesses, these standout developers innovated with Apple technology, with many helping to foster the profound sense of togetherness we needed this year.
