Two of the best and worst products that were introduced in 2015
Wi-Fi, a better camera, and a new color: rose gold. The iPhone 6s is not only one of the top products of 2015, but one of the most exciting iPhone releases in years.
Apple Watch: The Apple Watch is one of Apples best inventions yet made. You can track your daily activity, control your music only using your voice, and pay for groceries just like that.
Two of the worst new products in 2015:
InBody: It's marketed as a product meant to help consumers understand their weight and how the factors going into weight. the problem lies in how the results are presented. The chart displaying the analyses is complex and the numbers, percentages and indicators aren't explained in a way the average active consumer can easily understand. For a product like this to succeed, the analytics need to be more conveniently displayed and explained, so it can help do its job - making life, and weight management, easier.
Luminette: Luminette is a product made to offer portable light therapy to those needing energy in the morning, or those facing depression in the dark days of winter. While the device might actually jack up energy levels, consumers will likely pass over it for aesthetic reasons.
