These awards go to apps that Apple likes because they're new, useful, or particularly beautiful. It's one of the biggest awards that Apple gives to its app developers.
Unlike Apple's end-of-year awards list, these apps often aren't super popular yet, and usually take advantage of new Apple capabilities or highlight emerging trends in app design.
Sometimes, Apple even buys the companies behind apps that have won these awards.
