The recently held Annual T3 Awards created a big buzz in the world of tech and left the winners with a huge grin and pride on their faces.

This year, the top technology mag "T3" is celebrating its 10th year.

It has just revealed its choices for the brightest and best tech products of 2016 graced by its star-studded ceremony in London.

However, since T3 is celebrating its 10th year, the winner for the 'Best Gadget of the Decade' is one of the most awaited.

Apple iPhone was able to grab home the 'Gadget of the Decade' award, a one-off prize to mark the tenth anniversary of the T3 awards. It beat the iPad, PlayStation 3 and Netflix to take the top spot.

Rob Carney, editor of T3, said: "It's incredible to look back over the past 10 years of tech and see how it's changed and influenced the world we live in."

"Apple's iPhone is a more than worthy recipient of gadget of the decade - it paved the way for all modern smartphones," he added.

Its Vive VR headset was also 2016's big winner, and the only product to pick up multiple awards including Gaming Product of the Year, Innovation of the Year and Gadget of the Year.
