There are over a million iPhone apps out there, and figuring out which ones are worth your time (and storage space) can be a chore.

But Apple wants to help. The company recently released a list of the 10 apps, besides its own, that you should have on any new iPhone.

These are the essentials, and they range from powerful photo apps to ones designed to keep your accounts safe.

Here are Apple's 10 apps everyone should have:

---

VSCO is the app professional Instagrammers use to make their photos look amazing.

If you want to make the photos you take on your smartphone look better, one of VSCO's dozens of retro film filters will do the trick. The app offers more editing capabilities than Instagram, and each filter preset is designed to emulate the effect of an old-school film camera.

VSCO offers free cloud-syncing and uploads to a personalized VSCO Grid account, which is essentially a hi-res, ultra-minimalist version of Instagram that has less of a focus on social-networking and more of a focus on pretty pictures.

Price: Free (iOS, Android)

1Password helps you keep your accounts secure.

1Password is the best app for managing your web logins and sensitive information. It has a user-friendly interface, and it's available on whatever device you have with you at the moment, whether it be your desktop, phone, or even Apple Watch.

1Password will generate secure passwords for you and fill them in on websites using its free Safari and Google Chrome extensions.

Price: Free, with upgrade for $9.99 (iOS, Android)

Dark Sky makes sure you never get caught in the rain.

It's like having a weather psychic in your pocket, and you'll be glad you bought it the next time you almost get caught in the rain.

Price: $3.99 (iOS)

MSQRD lets you get in on the animated filter craze.
