Apple Unveils 2024 App Store Award Finalists, AI Apps Absent

Apple's 2024 'iPhone App of the Year' finalists list continues to downplay AI technology, favoring traditional apps that enhance user creativity and productivity without relying on AI. Despite the popularity of AI apps like ChatGPT, which has introduced new features and partnered with Apple for Siri improvements, it was not nominated. While some AI-powered apps were recognized in other categories, Apple's selections suggest a preference for apps that empower human creativity over AI automation.
