When there's a new iPhone, many people will immediately go to the App Store to download the app! Having a smartphone without using applications is like just using a computer to go online. If you have an iPhone, you'll find yourself lucky that Apple's app store is still better than Android's app store in terms of both quantity and quality.

So what are the best free apps to download for your new iPhone? There are many! Obviously, people will have their own preferences, so the list below will be quite general and useful for everyone. In addition, the article will not list many alternatives, only a maximum of one or two alternatives and is often the best option.

The best map / navigation application

Picture 1 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

Google Maps

People use a lot of GPS on their iPhone when driving and it completely replaces the Garmin GPS that has been used for years. Apple Maps is pretty good, but it is still far behind the Google Maps application. Because it's a Google product, you can sign in with your Google account and sync all your data. This tool makes life much easier.

Waze

Waze is a turn-by-turn navigation tool that adds a social community that helps bring information to the driver. It was acquired by Google, but is still a separate application. Finally, it can be incorporated into Google Maps. This will make the Google Maps app the only app you really need to navigate GPS!

The best weather forecast application

Picture 2 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

There are millions of weather forecast applications. Here are a few suggestions. (If you have a better choice, please comment in the comment section below!)

Yahoo Weather

This is a favorite application of many people because it has a nice interface and lots of useful information. With a free application, this tool is quite perfect.

Weather Underground

A lot of people have used it and really liked it. It's free, but there are ads. That is the only downside. You can pay 99 cents to remove ads. But despite advertising, it is still a great weather app.

Best photography application

Picture 3 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

Flickr

Flickr application allows you to browse your Flickr photos and also allows you to download everything from iPhone to storage account with 1TB of free storage. If you often take lots of photos, this is a great option. It also has filters and editing tools, so you can edit your photos before uploading to Flickr, Twitter or Facebook.

  1. The best free photo editing software on your computer

Google+

Google+ is known as a social networking app, but it is listed in this section because it's really great for taking photos. If you've used Picasa Web Albums before, those albums have been converted into photo albums on Google+ and you can access them all from the Google+ app. It also automatically uploads all photos and videos to Google+ and creates animated GIFs, enhances photos and more for users.

Instagram

It's hard to find someone who doesn't use Instagram. Although Facebook has acquired it, Instagram is still one of the most popular photo-sharing apps on the Internet.

Snapseed

The applications mentioned above are mainly related to viewing and storing photos, and Snapseed is very suitable for using photo effects. You can convert and adjust images with many options and tools in this application. All are free.

Photo Editor by Aviary

This is another free application, but there is a paid version if you want more effects. The free version has a lot of features, enough to create some beautifully edited images.

  1. Free online photo editing services should not be missed!

VSCO Cam

Again, like the Aviary's photo app, you have a basic app and can buy additional features through the app. The program uses several advanced technologies to add stunning effects to your photos.

Best cloud storage application

Dropbox

Dropbox is very popular and widely known to be quite good for storing files in the cloud. It works on all devices, as well as on iPhone when automatically uploading all your photos and videos. The only downside is that if you store a lot of data, you will pay to buy more storage capacity (the price is quite expensive compared to other competitors).

Google Drive

This is a favorite application of many people with 15GB of free storage and it is currently very strong: only $ 10 a month for 1TB of memory. While you only get 500 GB on Dropbox for $ 500 a year. However, Google Drive cannot automatically upload anything from your phone. Google+ is possible, but both are not well integrated. Google needs to improve this if they want to compete more with Dropbox.

OneDrive

Although OneDrive is a Microsoft product, this is still a pretty good app for iPhone. Everyone has a Windows PC and this makes this application really useful. OneDrive is integrated into Office 2013, Windows 8, Windows Phone, Microsoft Surface and other Microsoft products, so if you are using Microsoft products, this is a good cloud storage application. It is also cheaper than Dropbox in terms of storage capacity.

Best messaging / chat application

Picture 5 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

Google Hangouts

Hangouts is great for anyone using Gmail and other Google services. It allows you to chat with your friends and make video calls with groups of people.

WhatsApp

If you know Facebook has paid $ 16 billion for this application, maybe you will use it right away? It's just a joke, but this app is useful for anyone who has a relative who settles abroad because most people often use WhatsApp to text.

Facebook Messenger

You can use sticker, make free calls, record voice messages and send free text messages with Facebook Messenger. Messenger is a pretty useful application to keep in touch with people. Also, since it's related to Facebook, you'll easily find anyone on it.

Snapchat

If you're in your teens, download this app and share your images with other peers.

Best social networking application

Facebook Paper

Paper is Facebook's new app that lets you track your News Feed in a more modern user interface. Everything looks better in the Paper application and it allows you to follow popular news stories on a variety of topics.

Twitter

If you haven't used Twitter yet, try it now. Even if you never post anything, you can still get a lot of useful information by following up properly.

  1. Tricks or certain Twitter users should not be ignored

LinkedIn

Even if you own a business, you should have a profile on LinkedIn. It is the best social networking site for professionals. Companies use LinkedIn a lot to find talent, so keep track of your connections through this app.

Pinterest

Pinterest has huge amount of traffic and people seem to love it very much. The application can find interesting content, regardless of your interests.

  1. How to register a Pinterest account

Google+

Google+ will never replace Facebook, but it's a pretty good addition. Postings on Google+ are often more topical than photos of lunch or a newborn of someone on Facebook.

The best online video viewer application

Picture 7 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

YouTube

Youtube website is the largest video sharing service in the world. Surely you must download the YouTube application to update all the videos that are rampaging on the Internet.

Netflix

If you have a Netflix subscription, you will definitely want your iPhone to have a binge-watch application Breaking Bad or House of Cards.

Amazon Instant Video

If you are a member of Amazon Prime, download the Amazon Instant Video app to see all the free content that Amazon offers.

Vine

Literally, you can spend hours watching short videos on Vine. You can also create your own video and post it!

Best note application

Evernote

This is the 'king' of note apps with a variety of useful features. It works on all devices and has plugins for browsers, applications, etc.

Microsoft OneNote

OneNote is Microsoft's favorite free note-taking application. This feature is also free on Mac and PC, so your notes will be synced between your computer, web and mobile device.

The application searches for addresses near you best

Yelp

You will always need suggestions for places to eat, etc., so downloading one of the tutorials that find the most popular places in your place is a must. Yelp is integrated in Google search, Bing and many people leave reviews here (this helps a lot of users).

AroundMe

This is another great app to quickly find addresses around you. While Yelp focuses more on eating places, AroundMe can help you find ATMs, hospitals, banks, bars and more.

Best movie viewing application

Picture 10 of 38 best free apps for the new iPhone

IMDB

This is the best application to receive information about actors, movies, TV shows or anything related to movies and TV.

Fandango

Great application to receive movie showtimes and watch trailers. It's quite similar to Flixter, but this app is a little better, according to users' reviews.

Other applications

In addition to the above applications, there are a number of other useful applications for your new iPhone. Here are a few such applications.

Chrome browser

If you're already a Google user, Chrome has some great features that make everything synced. This browser is faster and better than Safari.

Google Search

Even if you never use this application to search, you should use it because of the Google Now notification. If you are a Gmail user, you can connect both of these applications and receive automatic notifications for flights, product packages, and more.

Skype

Facetime is great, but sometimes you need video chat with someone without an Apple device. Skype is a great option because it has become so popular.

Find My iPhone

Sure you have installed this application if you have many Apple devices using the same iCloud account. It helps you keep track of all family members at any time.

Mint

Do you have credit cards, bank accounts, loans, investments or mortgages? If yes, follow them all by using the Mint app for free.

Runkeeper

Runkeeper is the only jogging app mentioned in this article because it's free and it's really great to keep track of your physical activity.

As you can see, this is a list of the best apps. The article does not make too many choices in each category because it is difficult to decide which of the applications to download. Where is the free app you love most and often use? Let us know in the comment section below!
