iPhone 7 topped the list ahead of the Freedom 251,
iPhone SE,
iPhone 6s, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S7, iPhone 7 Plus, Galaxy Note7, Nintendo Switch, and Samsung J7.

Last December, the iPhone 6s ranked #1 in the same category, with the Apple Watch coming in at a high point at #3. Apple's wearable was nowhere to be seen in the top Google tech searches in 2016, despite Apple launching the new Series 1 and Series 2 versions of the device.
In the Overall searches category, Pokémon Go came in first place in 2016 thanks to the
height of its popularity and player base earlier in the summer, and the game's
continued updates and additions throughout the fall. iPhone 7 ranked second behind Pokémon Go, and was the only Apple-related item to be listed in the section this year. Other popular search terms in 2016 were for
Deadpool, the Olympics, Slither.io, Prince, David Bowie, and more.
