WWDC23 wasn’t just for Apple to introduce new products or versions of its operating systems. The Cupertino company also revealed the winners of the Apple Design Awards 2023.
These awards are intended to recognize excellence in innovation, creativity, and technical advances in app and game design. Thus, it chose to highlight 12 applications and games, among six categories: inclusion, pleasure and fun, interaction, social, visual and graphic impact, and innovation.
It is good to emphasize that the winners were chosen among 36 finalists, who demonstrated good qualities. “We want to celebrate each of this year’s Apple Design Award winners for creating engaging game and intelligent app experiences that empower and entertain users everywhere,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of developer relations. .
