Apple’s release of its new flagships — in the form of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus — brought with them more than just bigger screens and an improved camera. Geared with the new A8 processing chip, the new line of iPhones feature impressive power and performance never before seen in an iPhone. But the best way to see what the new iPhones can do, are to download apps. While some apps received simple patches to take full advantage of the new operating system, other developers created apps from the ground up specifically for iOS 8.

So while some have made the jump to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ bigger screens with ease, others weren’t as fortunate. Over time, most apps will get a general update to accommodate the uptick in screen size, but we know you want quality apps now. After taking some time to dig through Apple’s App Store, we’ve found a slew of iOS 8 optimized applications worthy of space on your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. From news apps taking full advantage of the increased screen size, to games utilizing Apple’s new Metal processing technology, these are the best iPhone 6 and 6 Plus apps currently available in the App Store.

Note: We will update this list periodically once more apps take advantage of iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ increased screen size.
