Wow. Who uses a clock radio these days? It’s something from a bygone era. Like a radiogram.
Nowhere near everyone uses a search engine driven assistant, let alone has a smart speaker, or smart display.
So for that vast majority, digital alarm clocks still rule.
To prove Jeni’s point i do. I much prefer an easily glaceable digital clock vs having to turn my phone screen on. I also like having the radio there as phones inbuilt FM, like most phones, requires a cable to be plugged into the headphone jack which is a lot of effort to go to every single night if i wanted to always wake up to the radio which i kinda do. Those ABC news bullitins at 6 and 7 am are fantastic
