Apple has presented this year’s App Store Awards 2023 winners, and this year, it is a list filled with innovations, games and apps that are designed to entertain and make life easier overall.
It’s about that time of year again when Apple unveils the winners for their annual App Store Awards for 2023. This year, the company that built the iPhone 15 Pro MAX has exceptional nominations for its categories, including an App category, a Game category and, of course, the category for cultural innovation.
