Apple announces winners of its 2023 App Store Awards

Apple has announced the App Store Awards winners for 2023 among eleven categories from iPhone and iPad apps and games—alongside other platforms such as Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Arcade.

Unsurprisingly, Apple names generative AI as its ‘Trend of the Year’.

“With so many wonderful apps and games on the App Store all over the world, selecting just a few is no easy task,” Apple said in a Preview post.
