Apple announces "iPhone App of the Year" finalists

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Apple on Monday announced its list of finalists for "iPhone App of the Year" award.

The company's 2024 list of top iPhone finalists favors more traditional iOS apps, including those that help iPhone users perform specific tasks like recording professional video (Kino), tailoring their running plans (Runna), or organizing their travels (Tripsy).

The artificial intelligence (AI) apps like ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and those that create AI photos or videos were not nominated for iPhone App of the Year. Among Apple's list of 45 finalists across various categories in apps and games, AI-powered apps were mentioned only a few times.
