Apple ( AAPL ) this week released its annual lists of the top free, paid and grossing iPhone and iPad apps of 2012. To no one s surprise, a majority of the top grossing apps for the year were games. In fact, seven of the ten highest-grossing iPad apps were gaming apps, as were ten of the highest-grossing iPhone apps . The highest-grossing smartphone app was Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North and the highest-grossing tablet app was DragonVale. The top free app for the iPhone was Google s new standalone YouTube app and the top free iPad app was Skype , while Angry Birds Space topped the paid charts for both devices. The lists paint a disturbing picture for the handheld gaming industry, which some have said is being turned into a niche with the rise of tablets and smartphones .
