The first 13 apps you should download for your new iPhone

Google Photos gives you unlimited online storage for all your photos and videos.

But it's more than that. The app also lets you search by object and automatically groups your photos into albums. It's much better than Apple's Photos app that comes with your iPhone.

Apple Music is a great service that comes with your iPhone, but you may want to consider an alternative, especially if you want one that's compatible with other devices like the Amazon Echo.

Our two favorites are Spotify (download it here) and Google Play Music (download it here). Like Apple Music, both services cost $9.99 per for all the commercial-free streaming you can handle.

Google Play does come with a sweet bonus though: You get a free subscription to YouTube Red, which will remove all ads from YouTube videos.

Lara Croft GO lets you guide the iconic video game character through temples and dungeons, avoiding enemies and obstacles. It's one of the best puzzle games for iPhone.

Price: $0.99

Wunderlist is the best to-do list app on iPhone. The best feature? It lets you share lists with other Wunderlist users, which is great for sharing grocery lists or even stuff you need to do with your colleagues at work.

Twitter is a great source for news, but it can be easy to miss stories unless you're glued to the app.

Nuzzel is the answer. The app delivers stories shared by the people you follow in a nice, curated list. It's a great way to stay on top of the news if you don't have the time to watch Twitter all day.
