Every January, CES takes place in Las Vegas. Given the fact that Apple themselves never partakes in CES, it’s not necessarily a super important event for me to go to. That said, it’s always fun to see what’s going on in the tech world, and also see what Apple-adjacent products are coming to market.
I’ll be rounding up some of my favorite products that I got to see. Some of them aren’t coming to market imminently, though most of them are on the horizon.
Clicks Power Keyboard
This one made a lot of headlines just prior to CES, but in case you haven’t heard of it, the Clicks Power Keyboard a nifty little MagSafe bluetooth keyboard for your iPhone, and it also has a built in battery bank for recharging your phone if needed.
Clicks started making waves last year with the Clicks phone case, and the Clicks Power Keyboard solves one of the main downsides to the product: reusability. With the Clicks case, you were out of luck once you decide to upgrade your phone. Now, with the Power Keyboard, you can use it interchangeably between different iPhone and Android models with support for Qi2/MagSafe.
This also has a lot more functionality than the original Clicks case, since it’s bluetooth. Personally, I see a lot of potential for this with Apple Vision Pro, since you’ll no longer need to worry about pecking that floating virtual keyboard.
Lastly, it does feel pretty nice in the hand. If you have an iPhone Pro Max of sorts, the weight distribution isn’t fantastic, but it honestly feels kind of perfect when you’re using it with the smaller iPhone models.
You can pre-order it now for $79.99 on the Clicks website, and it’ll begin shipping in the spring.
