After 3 years on top, Apple has finally been beat by Google. According to a new survey, Google has been named the world’s most valuable brand. Looks like Google’s investments in self-driving car projects, Google Glass, Google smart watches and multiple Android partnerships have paid off. Google rated number one with brand value at 158,000,000 while apple’s brand value came in at 148,000,000.

IBM follows in 3rd place followed by Microsoft, McDonald’s, CocaCola, Visa, AT&T, Marlboro and Amazon, closing in at the 10th spot on the list.

IFWT Techie Tat Wza says: “This is really dope for Google, Their ecosystem is pretty extensive, from browsers to physical devices, to the future of computer’s on your face and driverless cars!! We will keep our eye on this though, Apple is surely not out of the game, but Google’s Innovation is in charge right now!!”
