Popular price comparison/ecommerce website has been around for quite a long time, starting out way back in 2006.

Now, the company has issued a rather cool infographic, detailing the five most popular products for each year of its existence.

“Over the past 10 years, PriceCheck has tracked the most popular categories on its platform, starting with digital cameras in 2006 and 2007. By 2008, smartphones had overtaken the photography addiction, with the Apple iPhone 8GB garnering 1500 views on the site since launch,” the company wrote in a press statement.
