Searches For "iPhone" Still Rule
October 13, 2010
Google Trends is an amazing way to visualize what people are searching for using the world’s largest search engine. Now, the folks at Computerworld have ran the numbers and made this determination: the iPhone still rules.
When compared to searches for “Android,” “iPad” or even “Microsoft,” the iPhone is far and away the most popular. In fact, iPhone searches are nearly three times those for Google’s Android platform.
To be fair, Android-related search traffic seems on an upward trajectory while Apple's iPhone seems in slight decline, compared to the stellar growth we saw in its profile in June. Temper that observation wtih the fact that the iPhone still weighs in with close to triple Android's attention in the international zeitgeist.
Apple has beaten Microsoft and Android down right down in the rankings which reflect worldwide global search traffic for the word in 2010. Apple convincingly edged ahead of Microsoft in June this year, and has never relinquished its hold on the global consciousness.The iPhone debuted nearly 3 1/2 years ago. It's nice to see that it remains at the top of what people are searching for online. What do you think? Why does the iPhone remain so popular? Leave your comments below.
