The Other Side of CES: The “Worst in Show” Awards
While CES is a time to marvel at the latest and greatest in consumer electronics, it’s also important to take a step back and critically evaluate these innovations. Thankfully, iFixit is here to provide that much-needed reality check. As we near the end of this year’s event, iFixit has unveiled its “Worst in Show” awards, highlighting products that may not live up to their hype.
- Ultrahuman Ring: This smart ring clinched the “Least Repairable” title. While issues with repairability aren’t new to smart rings, this one stands out with its hefty price tag of $2,200.
- Bosch’s Revol Smart Crib: Awarded “Least Private,” this product raises concerns about mixing babies and sensors. Privacy for our littlest ones is crucial, and this crib might not be hitting the mark.
“CES showcases amazing tech advancements, but it’s vital to remember that not all innovations are created equal.”

These “awards” serve as a reminder that while innovation is exciting, it should also be practical and considerate of consumer needs. As technology evolves, let’s ensure it does so responsibly and sustainably.
