9: iPhone 5

When it was announced, everyone went bonkers over the iPhone 5 (When does everyone not go bonkers when Apple announces anything new?); however, there's been quite a bit of grief expressed by seasoned iPhone users, including the way many apps look on the new screen, a new connecter that's incompatible with all previous Apple hardware, an astronomical price tag, and more. Even with that being the case, it should come as no surprise that the iPhone 5 made it onto a list comprised of the 10 most searched-for tech gadgets in 2012.

  • Give me a break

    I'd argue that the Nexus 10 would compete with the iPad3 for the top slot!

    • Give us a break

      Google Statistics be dammed, its your individual opinion that counts.

      Show us your proof...

      We're waiting...

  • Well you can argue all you want

    but Google statistics apparently say that you are wrong. If you have any proof that the Nexus 10 scored better, we'd love to hear it. Otherwise, why not just accept the result?

  • Microsoft Surface

    The only thinkg in the supposed top 10 that has any appeal for me would be the MS Surface. But, I already have a screamer Laptop and a screamer tower. My phone makes phone calls very well, and I have zero confidence in anything apple.
    I still remember the old apple IIe commercials where they showed their complete contempt for the rest of the computing industry. That in itself was enough to sour me on apple products for life.
