Banking, secondhand shopping and AI assistants lead Apple's US top free iPhone chart this week. Capital One Mobile sits at No. 1, and three AI chat apps, ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini, all land in the top 10. On the paid side, Shadowrocket holds the top spot, followed by a mix of work, study, music and creative tools.
The top 10 free apps
| Rank | App | Developer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Capital One Mobile | Capital One |
| 2 | Vinted: Pre-loved marketplace | Vinted Limited |

AI assistants are the clearest theme. OpenAI's ChatGPT is at No. 4, Anthropic's Claude at No. 6 and Google Gemini at No. 7, and Meta's Muse from Meta is just above them at No. 3.
TikTok's maker has two apps in the top 10, TikTok Pro - Events and the short-drama app PineDrama, on top of the main TikTok app further down the list.
Ranks 11 to 25
- Streaming and social: Peacock TV (11), Threads (12), TikTok (20) and Instagram (25)

- Everything else: CapCut, ByteDance's photo and video editor (13), WhatsApp Messenger (16), the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Trump Accounts: Official App (17) and Microsoft Authenticator (23)
Google has four apps in the top 25 once Gemini is counted, more than any other developer.
The top 10 paid apps
| Rank | App | Developer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shadowrocket | Shadow Launch Technology Limited |
| 2 | HotSchedules | HotSchedules |
| 3 | AnkiMobile Flashcards | Anki Software, LLC |

The paid chart leans practical. Study and music tools take three spots: AnkiMobile Flashcards, play_music_theory and the TonalEnergy tuner and metronome. A drawing app (Procreate Pocket) and a recipe manager (Paprika Recipe Manager 3) are also in the top 10, and three of the 10 come from individual developers.
