Ever wonder what Apple themselves might consider the best of the best where apps are concerned? As it turns out, you don’t have to wonder any longer -- Apple has created a section dedicated to what they consider the best 50 apps.
Opinions may vary from user to user as to what constitutes the best iOS apps, but Apple has some ideas of their own and they’ve created a new page of the best 50 in their opinion which they call the App Store Essentials Hall of Fame. It’s a great place for first-time users to immerse themselves in their new iOS device purchase with what many of us would consider the best apps ever made.
“More than two years since launch, we’re many apps wiser,” Apple’s gold-hued banner (seen above) reads. “Presenting our ongoing collection of the very best of the best.”
So what does Apple consider the “crème de la crème” of the App Store? You’ve got some ever-popular games such as Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, news apps including Instapaper, Pulse News Mini, Reeder and CNN, productivity apps like Evernote and Awesome Note and of course, music apps such as Pandora Radio and SoundHound -- all of which are good choices when it comes time to show off your device to friends and indoctrinate them into the fold.
We’re guessing that Apple’s “ongoing collection” means the Hall of Fame page will be updated as time goes on, so stay tuned in the months to come to see if your favorites have been posted. In the meantime, feel free to share anything you think that Apple has missed in the comments below!

Any chance of browsing this on a machine without iTunes? Unlike most iTunes links that one doesn't show anything in a web browser.

It's hard to believe that Reckless Racing can be considered a "Hall of Fame" app after only being out for 3 weeks.
