With the Apple Design Award 2021, Apple is once again honoring the best and outstanding apps and games for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS this year. In a total of six categories, two apps or games were awarded which, according to Apple, stand for inclusion, innovation and interaction.
Apple awards prizes for innovation and ingenuity
According to Apple, the Apple Design Award recognizes “innovation, ingenuity, excellent design and outstanding technical performance” and is awarded by an appropriately composed jury.
This year's winners of the Apple Design Awards have redefined what we want from a great app, so we congratulate them on their well-deserved win.

Apple reserves the right to change both the categories and the criteria from year to year, which is why the winners of a year are very difficult to compare with one another.
The work of these developers embodies the essential role that apps and games have in our everyday lives and serves as a perfect example of our six new price categories .
