Chances were, if you received some electronics this Christmas, it bore the Apple logo. Products made by the Cupertino, Calif. company were the most-gifted items, according to the online elves at Amazon.
Despite being No. 1 in “Most Wished For” TV and video products, No. 2 Roku actually reportedly was found under most trees. Amazon’s Kindle e-reader again topped the list as bestselling electronic device, the same as it has the whole holiday season.
An interesting development was in the best-selling desktop computer category. Although Apple desktops took the top for places in the “Most Wished For” category, the desktops only took the top two spots when it came to laying down the plastic, according to Amazon.
