Week in Review: CES awards and all the week's other big stories

Transparent TVs, smart rings, iPhone keyboards and all the Vegas highlights Created for {EMAIL} | [Web Version]( January 12, 2024 CONNECT WITH TECH RADAR  [Facebook]( [X]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tech Radar]( [SIGN UP]( ⋅ [WEBSITE](  [] Welcome to the Week in Review [] The week in review What a wild week of fresh products, big announcements, and ever more leaks. Team TechRadar is currently coming down off its CES 2024 high, where we saw everything from competing transparent display technologies to cooking robots, flying cars, indoor observatories, and upstart health and fitness wearables. There was even a surprise gadget that no one saw coming but everyone is talking about (maybe it’s the name – who doesn’t like rabbits?). As expected, AI was everywhere and in everything. There were new robot companions and appliances that could use AI to help you plan and make a meal. Meanwhile, and in very typical fashion, Apple tried to steal all the thunder by announcing the availability of its innovative Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which triggered many new revelations and questions. Samsung was a big CES presence but most eyes were turning toward the anticipated Galaxy S24 release next week and, of course, we had more leaks this week. There was some star power at CES (like Martha Stewart, Robert Downey Jr. and Netflix’s new 3 Body Problem), but also some compelling entertainment news like that new Mandalorian film (I hope it features less weird CGI Luke Skywalker), and a surprising update on Netflix’s effort to grow its ad-supported tier. I’d share more but it’s time to fly home.
