Apple doesn't attend Mobile World Congress, but that didn't stop them from scooping up the GSMA award for best tablet of the year for the iPad Air. The iPhone 5s, however, lost out on best smartphone to the HTC One.

There were tons of other winners, 99% of which won't mean much to the average iPhone or iPad user, but you can check them all out if you're curious. Then let me know — should the iPhone 5s have won as well?
