A new App Store section is live featuring apps that have been “enhanced for iPhone 5s,” according to Apple. Only a handful of titles are highlighted, though.

“Enhanced for iPhone 5s” is a new section in the Apple App Store that lists a small subset of apps that take advantage of the latest iPhone hardware. Most apps listed there take advantage of the A7 processor, with its 64-bit architecture and powerful graphics.

These titles include the jaw-dropping hack-and-slash game Infinity Blade III and popular shooter Call of Duty Strike Team.

Other apps take advantage of the M7 coprocessor, which uses the phone’s sensors to give you health and fitness readings. One such example is the recently launched Nike+ Move app.

Apple also mentions its own iWork and iLife suites there, as well as other third-party gems, like algoriddim’s djay 2, and Smule’s Sing! Karaoke.
