For search use google over bing and for translation vice versa.

Not surprising. Fanboys who worship the rotten fruit search about iPhones everyday. Not surprising really.

This is only Bing mate, the search King is Google, not Bing.

The real no surprise here is that "these people" using Bing-a-ling are actually the thousand workers, or so, at Apple headquarters in Cupertino; they have to use it since, they've been forbidden by Steve Jobs from using Google. So it's no surprise that iPhone is number one. Meanwhile, the rest of the modern World partakes in the action of Googling!!

And "Samsung Galaxy S IV" will be 2013s. With "boobies" a close 2nd.

It is quite possible that the searches pertain to copyright issues and trials more than on the product itself.

7. jphillips63 posted on 27 Nov 2012, 23:58 3 2

Or maybe they were searching for fixes to the oh so many issues the phone has and or maybe they were hoping for a recall from Apple

or the haters trying to copy their sucess

10. Commentator posted on 28 Nov 2012, 00:35 3

Well, since there are so many comments already ridiculing Apple, might I add that several of the searches were made by average people leading ordinary lifestyles who are genuinely excited and impressed by what Apple has to offer in the iPhone, and would like to see what it is all about.

...no, no it can't be that because, after all, Apple is an evil corporation with unforgivable, demonic leaders, and everyone who buys an Apple product is the scum of the earth. Sorry, for a second I thought I was in, you know, the real world, but then I remembered I was on PhoneArena, where everything is measured in terms of black and white, and you're either a tech-savvy freedom-fighter who buys Android, or your a moronic idiot and/or cult-fanatic who buys Apple. My bad, guys.

I agree that you say the Apple is an evil company... But Apple users are fanatics??

Nevermind... Sigh...

13. Commentator posted on 28 Nov 2012, 00:56 2

Well, I was being sarcastic when I said both (sorry, it doesn't translate well through this sterile medium of text). The intent of my comment was to argue that the vast majority of people don't see the iPhone in the way that PhoneArena commenters do, in that Apple is the Galactic Empire waging war on the oppressed Android Rebellion... or something like that. People are trying to move through their lives the in the best way they see fit (yes, even Apple executives, who are human like you and me), and they try to make the best choices as they see fit.

Oops, my misunderstand :P
And I still don't get what you say... Probably I'm Asian and I'm weak in English...
And I gave you a thumb up for no reason lol

16. Commentator posted on 28 Nov 2012, 01:19 3

I'll take any thumbs up I can get, so thanks!
To put it simply, I think people take their own opinions too seriously on this site, and it leads to some pretty unfair and uneducated judgments.

(Which I realize itself may be an unfair and uneducated judgment.)

Oh now I get it lol... Thanks

25. networkdood posted on 28 Nov 2012, 08:49 1

Commentator, the reason people do not see APPLE for what it truly is...is because most people, primarily Americans, are just blissfully unaware of what is truly happening in this world. It is those same people who think that they are doing something good for our country when they vote for a Democrat or a Republican candidate, one who is owned, backed-up, by Goldman Sachs. Many persons buy an APPLE believing that it supports America - many people are just misguided and easily swayed by what our government tells...or, in this case, what APPLE marketing tells them.

26. Commentator posted on 28 Nov 2012, 12:40

I'm not exactly sure what you're accusing Apple of trying to do, but I have a hard time getting behind the popular "Apple wants to take over the world" theory, especially since they do NOT make compromises to the people, and petty much lay their product on the table, and let the people choose for themselves.
