Forty-four percent of Americans who are looking to purchase new electronic devices over the holidays would like smartphones, with 23 percent eyeing a new Samsung Galaxy and 21 percent desiring a new iPhone. Rounding out the top five most wished-for items are the Apple Watch (17 percent), iPad (16 percent) and MacBook (14 percent).
