New iPhones Don't Create as Much Buzz as They Used To

Apple's 5G lineup has arrived. The company unveiled four new 5G-equipped iPhones during a virtual event on Tuesday, comprising the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone 12 mini.

 

While Apple’s iPhone announcements are still preceded by months of rumors, alleged leaks and endless speculation, Google Trends data suggests that the events themselves no longer create as much buzz as they used to. Looking at global search interest for the term “iPhone” shows that the iPhone 12 unveiling has failed to spark as much online attention as its predecessors, possibly as a result of the economic impact of the pandemic.

so why do you think that is? They didn't advertise it correctly? The world is focused on other things? we all have enough phones?

That's a really good question Lise, I'm really not sure. My best guess is that we can only be so excited about new things, that are a variation on a trend, for so long.

Hello Stephen - I was never much of a must-have-a-new(and the latest and greatest)-cell-phone-kinda-guy so I haven't noticed any change in buzz.  Such things often go over my head but the phenomenon remains somewhat interesting nonetheless even if it's purely observational.

The primary reason I purchase a new iPhone when the new models come out, is because of the camera system.  Photography sells Real Estate.  And with the latest model, the video subsystem is the best of all mobile phones.  If you're doing video for your Real Estate practice, it's really important.
