What today's Google Trends searches reveal
Civic search overtook Apple hardware at rank 1 the morning after the Supreme Court left Judge Indira Talwani's mail-ballot injunction in place. The Google Trends API still shows three Apple queries in the top 6, but they are now the shopping window into Friday's Pro Max launch, not the entire board.
Entertainment fills the rest. Widow's Bay keeps climbing on Emmy residue. Ed Sheeran is a same-day music-industry walkout, not a new album. The Perry threequel is a Netflix catalog query a week after the September 9 drop.
