As of last September, more than 85% of 18 to 34-year olds in the U.S. owned a smartphone. Android users outpace iPhone owners on the general market, but no single manufacturer manages to dominate quite like Apple. By July of this year, Apple had upped their market share to 44.2%, a fast-growing percentage following the release of the iPhone 6 and one that signaled a wave of users ditching their Android devices. (I jumped ship earlier this year myself, switching over from an outdated HTC One M7 to an iPhone 6).
Obviously millennials aren’t alone in being tethered to a small screen, but when the Washington Post released an in-depth review of the new iPhone in September, their title was telling: “These are the most millennial iPhones yet.” But that was about the phone’s built-in features—multitasking, media capabilities, clever marketing—and said nothing of one of the most obvious allures of Apple: the app store.
When you switch phones there’s a familiar transfer process, but learning which apps you need to replace and which ones you need to try out sometimes takes a little study. Sometimes there’s a better app store equivalent to your Android stalwart, and sometimes the iPhone has apps Android doesn’t, like a bevy of photo editing and camera tweaking options.
Whether you’re looking for the best e-mail client or all the necessary social media offerings, check out our list of the top millennial apps for iPhone users below:
Music: As clunky as Apple Music remains, it’d be a shame to miss out on some of its perks. Either way, you’re gonna need at least one of these:
Money: Whether you’re keeping track of your spending or sending money to a friend to split the tab, you should probably have at least one of these apps:
Work/Productivity: Apple’s built-in e-mail app is actually just about as good as it gets, but that’s just the beginning.
