Unveiling the Least Sustainable Gadgets of CES 2025

Not all awards are celebrated. While CES 2025 showcases some of the most innovative and bizarre tech products, iFixit steps in to spotlight the less desirable attributes of these innovations. As the event nears its close, the organization reveals its notorious "Worst in Show" awards.

Awarding the Least Repairable Devices

Among the recipients of these less flattering awards is the Ultrahuman ring, which earned the title of "Least Repairable". This isn't the first instance where smart rings have faced criticism for their repairability. However, this particular model draws extra attention for its hefty price tag of $2,200.

In another category, Bosch's Revol Smart Crib was highlighted as the "Least Private" device, reflecting concerns over the blend of baby technology with extensive sensors.

"Innovation isn't always positive, especially at the cost of sustainability and privacy," iFixit remarked during the award announcements.

As CES 2025 wraps up, discussions continue about the balance between cutting-edge technological advancements and their implications for repairability and sustainability.
