Oh man.. you decided to switch in some really weird times. 99% of all the shit you see in the store is 'trashware' 
Google for "best iphone games 2013" and check the results, change the number of the year and check the results again.
Little hint? Turn based games on handhelds are the best! Or games like tower defense. Either that or simple games where you pretty much just use one finger, or tap. (Like angry birds). Anything else more complex or that requires twitchy reactions and multiple imputs, will just take you back to the shitty thought "I wish I had a fucking game controller to play this"

just get 2048 for phones and you'll never have to get another game again

Clash of clans and new game by Ubisoft, Trials Frontier! But you should play on a tablet, for better experience.
The only 2 games that have held my attention on mobile was Ridiculous Fishing (great for about 2 hours) and Kingdom Rush.
I really want to try Yearwalk but it's on a cot dang apple device. I'm waiting on the android version,
I would say yearwalk is probably the only non-tacticle mobile game I'm truly interested in.
Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope are still pretty much the only mobile games I can actually recommend.
Threes is the best.
Quote from Senturajust get 2048 for phones and you'll never have to get another game again
takes too much effort to swipe every move on mobile :s
I mostly play candy crush while doing log work at the porcelain throne, no shame.
Best source to find hidden gems 
Just expect the best IOS games to be half as good as an average DS game gameplay wise and you will be able to enjoy them.
As for games, Puzzle & Dragons is pretty cool, it mixes puzzles and... pokemon. I hate how you can only play a few times a day though so I never invested any energy on it. And there's also a Sim City 3k port that is actually pretty descent
You bought the phone at the right time… all these companion apps for AAA games are coming out 
EA's revamp of Tetris is cool.
In the past I played Flight Control loads.
I like brainteasers like Letterpress and Quiz Up.
Hellsing's Fire was nice puzzle as well; Cut The Rope has even way too much content in the category.
Supermegaworm is a good action as well as Dark Nebula with tilt controls. Ski Safari.
Check the games by Simogo.
Oh and Superbrothers Swords & Sorcery they tell me it's an incredible adventure.
Can't remember what's exclusive.
Already a bunch of good ones mentioned here (Cut the Rope, Ridiculous Fishing, Threes/2048)
Other good ones are Drop7, Organ Trail, Game Dev Story, Dead Ahead, Monsters, mostly because they're good for short sessions but can be played for hours if you really want to (especially Drop7, be-fuckin-ware of that one).
Also Hero Academy is amazing if you can find some friends to play with, played that for over a year every day at one point.
Year Walk (the first Simogo game) is also great, but I'd rather play that on a tablet than a smartphone.
Games I have on my iPad Mini and iPhone 5S:
*Tank of Tanks (simple, but great local-multiplayer game)
*Clash of Clans (nice game to play on occasional breaks here and there)
*Smash hit (really chill game where you break glass surfaces with balls of steel)
*Flappy Bird/Juggling/Shuriken (pretty cool games for real fast session)
*Flapthulhu (nicer version of Flappy Bird)
*Supernauts
*King Hunt (simple Cut the rope kind of game with really nice visuals and stuff)
*Rock Runners (nice platformer game)
*Into the Dead (zombie game where you just run through various rural areas avoiding contact with zombies)
*Oceanhorn (very Zelda like game)
*Robot Unicorn Attack 2 (pretty cool platformer)
*Dungeon Story (very simple yet fun "match three" game)
*Wordament (simple word-game)
*Plague Inc. (very cool game about creating disease to wipe out human race from the face of Earth)
*Hill Climb Racing (fun and simple "car game" with tons of tracks and vehicles)
*Boom Beach (similar to Clash of Clans, but still very different)
*Tetris (yes, Tetris)
I hate mobile games but I do enjoy this one on occasion.
Here is my list of mobile games that I enjoy playing. I call them "Poop extenders" because I take 15 minute craps instead of 3 minute ones.
All of these are from the Android Humble Bundles. I ain't got time to crawl the App Store to find games!
The games that I LOVE are bold. I highly suggest you play those. But all of these are good.
Assuming you have an Android device, I have all of these APK (installer) files and would be willing to share them with you. Just shoot me a PM on here / Steam and I'll hook ya up.
Triple Town & Kingdom Rush (Frontiers) are the two games I've spent most time playing on mobile I think. Hero Academy is great albeit a tad old. Ridiculous Fishing is fun but didn't keep me engaged for that long. Plague Inc., Game Dev Story, Jellysplash & Subway Surfers are worth checking out.
