Software is only as good as the hardware allows it to be. Conversely, hardware might give a ton of capabilities but if the software doesn’t use it properly, what’s the point? These 9 apps use the A7 processor in the iPhone 5S the right way.

Apple’s recently released iPhone 5s is the only phone on the market with the all-new A7 processor. The Apple A7 is a 64-bit, 1.3GHz, ARMv8, dual-core CPU chip, which makes it twice as fast (according to Apple) as the A6 found in iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c It’s only available on iOS 7, which is the operating system that ships on the iPhone 5s. Apple also claims the chip is capable of twice the graphics power as its last generation, which comes into play for high-end games and other apps that work hard to churn out high-quality visual effects.
