Rise of E-Ink, Fall of Cords

Multiple articles from the six-month window show tangible E Ink product launches and coverage in smart home and personal organization contexts, including SwitchBot's E-ink Weather Station calendar/dashboard integrated with Apple Home, E-Ink lifestyle gadgets framed around a 'de-noising' trend, and dedicated E-Ink dashboard commentary. This directly contradicts the falsification criteria (which required no notable new products and no measurable demand shift), so the prediction appears to have come true, though evidence of broad 'market demand shift' remains more anecdotal than quantitative.

What would prove this wrong

After six months, no notable new E Ink-based smart home products have launched and market demand shows no measurable shift toward low-power displays.
