For games, Sky: Children of the Light from developer Thatgamecompany was the iPhone game of the year, while Hyper Light Drifter from developers Abylight and Heart Machine was the iPads best game.

Gris, created by Devolver and Nomada Studio, took home the award for Mac game of the year.

Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap by DotEmu was the Apple TV game of the year.

The game was previously showcased by Apple during its iPhone 11 event in September.

The app trend of the year was Storytelling Simplified with Apple calling out apps such as Anchor, Unfold, Wattpad, Steller and Over for creating apps that helped us fill the proverbial blank page with our memories, dreams, images and voices.

New games built around classic or traditional console games and characters on mobile (such as Mario Kart Tour, The Elder Scrolls: Blades and Call of Duty: Mobile ) prompted Apple to call the game trend of the year Blockbusters Reimagined.

In addition to assigning awards, Apple also released its top charts for 2019, which featured a host of common popular apps including YouTube, Instagram, Netflix and Facebook.
