Now that you’ve got your shiny new iPhone 4S in your hands (if it’s not plugged into the wall recharging), you’re probably already browsing the thousands of apps available on Apple’s App Store. While there are certainly an incredible number of apps you’ll find useful, whether to pass the time while waiting in line, booking flights and hotel reservations, or finding free WiFi in whatever city you’re in, there are some apps an iPhone user shouldn’t be without. Depending on who you are and what you do, certain types of apps are likely to be more useful than others, so this list is designed to provide a broad overview of the basic apps most people would find helpful to have, mixed in with the best of games, file sharing services and social networking sites that most of us all use today. Best of all, a good number of these apps (and apps similar to the ones on this list) are offered for next to nothing—or nothing at all!
