Apple’s first aluminum App Store awards
- Only 15 models have allegedly been produced and distributed, plus 2 to keep at Apple Park.
- The award is made out of recycled aluminium, and made by the same team that makes the company’s products.
- Winners also received a note signed by CEO Tim Cook.
2020 is the first year that Apple has recognised their App Store Best winners with a physical award. There were allegedly only 15 of these awards produced, plus 2 extra to keep at Apple Park. The award features the App Store logo set in recycled aluminum, with the name of the winner engraved on the other side. Along with the award, winners also received a note signed by CEO Tim Cook.
From Digital Trends:
It was conceived and crafted by the same design team that makes the company’s products, dreamed up during one of their regular Tuesday afternoon sessions. It is handmade of the same metal that goes into the company’s products: 6R01, Apple’s own custom grade of aluminum that is made up of a 100% recycled mix of excess aluminum from Mac products’ manufacturing process.
@Apple I am forever grateful for this award. We’ve met nothing but amazing people at Apple. The @AppStore eco system offers a complete toolset for anyone to build amazing things. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/uyfRXmuNg4

This is surreal! I'm excited to share that Apple has named our app Wakeout as the iPhone App of the Year for 2020. It has been a privilege to help families stay active during this tough year. A big shoutout to all Guatemalan entrepreneurs: Keep at it, it will come! 🇬🇹 pic.twitter.com/tVxJ5CQhl5
