Apps, the one thing that makes our phones valuable. Think of a phone that you could just use for calling and sending an SMS…. That would be a nightmare in today’s times. The app ecosystem has grown so big that a competition has emerged between major tech giants like Google and Apple. Its based on personal preference of which ecosystem you choose to use. Personally, I prefer Apple’s ecosystem. It’s just perfect. App quality is top notch and Apple makes sure that you get constantly updated with your apps. As an example, Apple removed 32-bit app support in the App Store in iOS 11- Apple’s latest firmware for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod. So, here we are with the best iOS apps for the first week of October 2017.
