As Rb says, citing journalists Recode, Apple usually manages to become an important part of the event, not even present in the exhibition halls of the Las Vegas. And although CES has never presented the world a new iPhone, iPad or Mac, it’s always appear bright new products that could work together with these devices.
However, this year, all sought to show the compatibility with other products, according to the resource. If the exhibition and to highlight the most relevant platform, it was Alexa from Amazon – many of the exhibitors had either built this voice assistant in their device, or have created for him a new function.
Several new products were presented to the platform of “smart” home Apple HomeKit.
Although Apple has not usually exhibit in the North hall of the exhibition center dedicated section for companies that produce accessories for Apple products. This large section was traditionally filled with different covers and chargers, but this year, as noted, there is little that really stood out novelty and originality.
