7 iPhone apps you should download to start the new year off right

7 app icons on an iPhone screen.

Maybe you picked up a one of the best iPhones over the holidays, either as a gift or as treat for yourself. Or maybe you've had the same iPhone for a while and just want to freshen things up at the start of a new year. Whatever the reason, nothing makes an iPhone feel like it's fresh out of the box like installing new offerings from the App Store.

By default, Apple's phones include a ton of built-in features that make them more than capable, everything from tracking your to-do lists to playing music and watching TV. But if you're looking to take things a step beyond what's preloaded on your phone, the App Store lets you take a step into an expansive — and at times overwhelming — world of third-party iPhone apps. Not only can these apps extend what you can do with your smartphone, but sometimes they do it even better than the vanilla default options.
