iPhone scoops top gadget gongs

Apple’s iPhone has scored a major double win by picking up phone of the year and gadget of the year at the O2 Pocket-lint Gadget awards in London.

The awards, run by the technology and gadget site Pocket-lint, are voted for by a combination of a panel of industry expert judges, technology journalists, and the public. The event also saw Sega’s Alien: Isolation pick up the award for best game, ahead of big money releases Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Destiny.

Stuart Miles, Pocket-lint chief executive and founder, said: “It’s really good to see the panel of judges, industry, and public pull together to let consumers know the best gadgets of the year. Copy this list for your Christmas wishlist and you won’t go wrong.”
