However, do note that Apple isn’t expected to launch any new hardware product at Consumer Electronics Show but Apple executive Jane Horvath is scheduled to speak on a consumer privacy panel on January 7th.
Apple has usually stayed clear from officially attending CES. This will be the first time in decades that Apple will attend Consumer Electronics Show in an official capacity. Last year, the company had put up a giant sign in Las Vegas touting the security of its devices, just ahead of CES. A year prior to that, in 2018, some of the Apple employees reportedly met with potential augmented-reality glasses suppliers at CES.
The world’s biggest tech trade show is about to kick-off on 7th January in Las Vegas, showcasing and launching new products and technologies that will eventually make their way to the market. We’ll be covering CES 2020 so stay tuned for all the latest updates.
