2017 has no doubt been a huge year for Apple in terms of its smartphone range. Could it have something to do with it being the tenth anniversary of the iPhone? iOS 11 was a revolutionary change which affected even the App Store. Then, they released the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, as well as the coveted iPhone X. All of these link to the rise of app culture which led to a few notable breakout trends of the year.
Augmented Reality apps and games were introduced and altered the way people use their iPhones. Apps like My Very Hungry Caterpillar AR brings the classic children’s book character to life. Apps like Insight Heart elevates the learning experience of medical education. Apps like Amon adds an edge to smartphone games.
Another huge trend is apps focused on mental health, mindfulness and stress reduction, giving users a wide variety to choose from to match their needs and lifestyle.
