Apple highlights some of the best (and most popular) apps of 2019

Apple highlights some of the best (and most popular) apps of 2019 As expected, Apple's event wasn't about heralding any new hardware -- it was about shining light on some of the year's standout apps. (If Android is more your thing, expect Google's own list of first-class apps to drop shortly, too.) Apple's selections this year run from artsy -- Spectre Camera helps people take long-exposure photos with their iPhones -- to practical fare, like Affinity's desktop publishing app for the Mac.

It hopes to deliver the first ones by December 2020.
