Top 100 Tech Trends in September

From Gaming-Inspired Smartphone Cases to Phygital NFT Rings

— September 10, 2022 — Tech
This list of technology trends in September 2022 reflects the demand for products that make life easier. As consumers return to everyday life post-pandemic, there is significant attention being cast on innovations that aid the average consumer in their daily lives and make even the easiest tasks much simpler.

In particular, the Phillips ‘Hue Tap Switch’ is a new smart lighting control unit that allows users to control lights in up to three rooms using a dial that can change brightness. This product makes home lighting accessible and easy to adjust for everyone in the home.

Another innovative product for this month is the ‘The Hair Lab’ by Strands, a customized hair care test that analyzes hair in real-time and tailors products to the consumer based on their hair needs. Consumers can read up on their hair texture, scalp condition, and even their geographical environment.
