Choosing a very powerful tech product of the previous 30 years isn’t any straightforward process: does the iPhone deserve that accolade? The Nintendo Switch? The Apple Vision Pro? Okay, possibly not that final one. But that is the duty that T3 set itself for its thirtieth anniversary awards — and after a lot deliberation it topped the Apple iPod as the last word winner.
The iPod — which launched in 2001 — was deemed to be the Biggest Product in T3’s Lifetime, reflecting its recognition, its longevity and, finally, its game-changing nature.
“The iPod was more than just a product, it was a revolution of the whole music industry, says Mat Gallagher, T3’s Editor-in-Chief.
“What started with 1,000 songs in your pocket introduced the world to iTunes and paying for digital music. Though ultimately, the iPhone made the iPod redundant, without the iPod the iPhone wouldn’t have existed.”
T3, which launched in 1996 and which is owned by TechRadar’s writer Future, additionally honored two giants of the previous 30 years with particular anniversary awards: Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, was named British Icon, whereas Apple’s outgoing CEO Tim Cook was declared Person of the Year.

The prestigious Product of the Year went to the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, while Garmin picked up Brand of the Year and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra took the Readers’ Choice award.
