Do you find yourself becoming less and less excited about Apple’s newest iPhone each year? If so, you’re not alone.
A recent study shows that folks are losing enthusiasm over the newest release of Apple’s flagship product, the iPhone, with each passing year.
Analysts at Citi Research Innovation Lab poured over Google search trend data covering the past 6 years, going as far back as the iPhone 5 which was launched in 2012.

Proving that men just can’t leave anything alone — trust me, I know! — Google searches for “International Men’s Day” spike on “International Women’s Day” as Men Who Are Mad Online™ whine, “But when is MY day?”

For the record, there is an official International Men’s Day, for some reason, celebrated on November 19. But, apparently many men are not content with the knowledge the other 364 days a year (365 days on leap years!) are set aside for “Well, actually…” tweets. Read more…
