iPhone tops Yahoo’s most-searched list for 2011

iPhone more popular than celebs according to Yahoo’s 2011 most-searched list.

Most likely due to the iPhone 4S and its Siri, 8-megapixel camera and dual-core CPU features, Yahoo’s list is claiming that the iPhone is more popular than Justin Bieber or other popular celebs like Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez. Oh by the way, Justin Bieber is not included in the list of the most popular celebs of Yahoo.
According to Yahoo’s list, the iPhone is the first tech device since 2002 to top the annual most searched list. Sony’s PlayStation 2 topped the 2002 popularity contest.

Apple’s latest smartphone is the iPhone 4S, the first dual-core iPhone with 8-megapixel digital camera built-in and the voice dictation feature Siri. It is highly possible that the iPhone topped the Yahoo list due to the new smartphone.
Aside from the 4S, the popularity of iPhone this year is also due to the passing of Apple’s former CEO Steve Jobs two months ago. Yahoo’s Web trend analyst Vera Chan credited the iPhone with helping to facilitate political movements, adding that the smartphone brand embodied the vision of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
Yahoo’s list is also claiming that the iPhone is more popular than Osama Bin Laden (10th placer), American Idol (7th placer) and the killer Japan quake (9th placer).
It is worth noting that Yahoo’s market share is 15.2 percent only (in the US), while Google is still the most popular with 65.6 percent according to the latest search engine market share posted by Bloomberg.
