There might be a few weeks of 2013 left, but Apple has already published its iOS app charts for the past year. The company has come up with four separate categories, list both free and paid apps for iPhone and iPad.

Unsurprisingly it was Mojang’s mega-hit Minecraft that topped the top 10 paid for apps on both devices. The indie title has proved to be something of a mega hit since its launch a few years back and this Pocket Edition has obviously sold well for the team too. there big winners include the likes of Angry Birds and Temple Run.

Over on free apps, Candy Crush Saga dominates both lists. The free-to-play sensation has found a place on almost everyone’s iPhone and iPad since it launched, so it’s no surprise to find it winning here. The likes of Youtube and Google Maps also won out.
