Google Tops Apple as the World's Most Valuable Brand2017-02-02 17:21 by DanielaTags: Apple
Apple Inc. lost its top position in the Brand Finance's ranking for "Most Valuable Brand". Google gained the Number 1 slot in this category. This ends a five-year period of top-slot rankings for Apple, as its brand value has plummeted by 27%. Google's brand value rose by 24% during 2016. The last time Google was number one was 2011.

Amazon.com takes the third place in the rankings. Read more -here-
