Apple didn’t attend the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show, but its presence was felt. Although many of the companies showing off connected products had apps for Android, writes Creative Strategies’ Ben Bajarin…

nearly every booth was only showing off their products working with iPhones or iPads. The CES show floor has essentially become, or at least it felt like for me observationally, a giant Apple ecosystem showcase.”
