iphone 6 is the most searched smartphone in APAC in 2014

This may not come as a surprise but the interest for iphone in general and iphone 6 in particular is huge in APAC plus Japan.

From a monthly average search volume on Google across markets in APAC, iphone 6 interest is 4 times more than “Samsung Galaxy S5” or “Nexus 5” and almost 13 times more than “HTC One M8”.

From market perspective, Australia, India and Thailand are the top 3 countries that search for iphone 6 the most. I don’t include China or Japan in the graph below because Google is blocked or doesn’t have dominant market share in those markets.
