This fall, many brands are launching tech products and accessories, from Apple’s latest iPhones, iPads and Watch to Rayban and Facebook’ smart glasses. And according to RetailMeNot, which surveyed over 1,000 U.S. consumers ahead of the 2021 holiday shopping season, Americans are eyeing electronics. The survey showed that 38 percent of shoppers plan to make a purchase in the small electronics category during the holiday season — which includes smartphones, smartwatches, headphones and more — while 26 percent plan to buy large electronics like TVs, laptops and gaming consoles. RetailMeNot also said people are planning to start shopping early as concerns about supply chain issues and shipping delays loom.
