Apple has announced winners of the 2021 App Store Awards which honor the 15 best apps and games which allowed users to stay connected to people, have fun, explore personal passions, and more. Apple’s global app Store editorial team chose the winning developers from around the world for “delivering exceptional quality, innovative technology, creative design, and positive cultural impact.”

Apple has been honoring developers’ hard work and craftsmanship through annual awards for more than a decade but in 2020, the company gave out its first physical awards. And the company has continued with the same practice. Each winner of the 2021 App Store Awards has received the signature blur App Store icon made out of 100% recycled aluminum with the App Store logo on one side and the name of the winner on the other side.
