What were the most disappointing, underwhelming products in the tech world this year?
The tech equivalents to, say,Gladiator 2orKraven the Hunterin the world of cinema during 2024.
Which is the worst piece of tech of all from this year?
GoPro Hero 2024
Okay, we get it.
Well, things didnt go quite as planned… Also, a notable omission was the lack of compatibility with screen-reading tech for blind people.
Concord
A huge AAA gaming property direct fromSony,Concordcould be described in lots of ways.
Like:Overwatch, but instead of being free, you pay for it.
There can be no argument about that.
What went so wrong?
Unfortunately, the bugs came scurrying afterwards, which turned into a frustratingly steady stream of the critters.
There were bigger bugs.Smaller bugs.
And a number that seriouslyblighted the enjoyment of PC gamers, along with some reallyweird glitches.
Ultimately, Windows 11 24H2 is likely to be a positive move eventually.
But given what happened this year, we have to label it as a rather wobbly flop.
AirPods Max 2024
Apples top-of-the-line AirPods were launched in 2020 and the wireless headphones seriously impressed.
That was it: a connector change and fresh colors.
It seems likeApple has pretty much abandoned its high-end headphones, at least for the foreseeable future.
In ourRabbit R1 review, we called it an adorable but half-baked idea that you could ignore.
Not with those bright orange retro looks, thats for sure.
There was something of an explosion of bad feeling around Wrapped this year.
Something to do with AI creeping in everywhere, perhaps?
Maybe yeah, lets blame AI, its a safe enough bet.
Dont expect AI to go away, though, as the opposite will likely be true.
What made things even worse for Spotify was thatApple Music Replay killed it this year.
Humane AI Pin
The Rabbit R1 wasnt the only personal AI gear looking to outmaneuver your smartphone this year.
How do we square that, you might be wondering?
Buggy apps are one thing and obviously problematic but a lack of applications is another stumbling block.
