As every year goes, numerous Apple fans have begged Santa to put an iPhone under their Christmas tree, and this time was no different.

According to Business Insider, the signs are there that Santa has made a lot of people happy this year by giving them iPhones. How do we know these people got iPhones and not some Android or Windows device? Easy. By looking at the App Store’s trending apps.

Normally the trending apps are among the newest apps released in the App Store, but this time around, the trends seem to be Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube. So why would these “essential” apps be climbing the charts if not because a lot of people just activated their brand new iPhone this week?

Did you get an iDevice from Santa? What were the first apps that you installed?
