Greetings friend,

yes there is always a chance to make any S/W better i think.

Just a stray observation..

Initially EyeOS seemed to be made for high-end customers (the high price tag you know) though it went well for Appel because of a few big reasons other than the smooth OS that it was :

1>

Status Symbol!

- Using Appel fones and tabs became a status symbol across all age groups & social strata across the world. Everyone was either buying an Appel fone for themselves then their wives/husbands then gifting their children & also for GFs & BFs etc. Appel gadgets (earpods, fones, tabs, smart devices etc.) were being pushed by affluent relatives in YuEss back to their native countries as kind of a social peer pressure.

2>

Aesthetics!

- Back in the days people were really impressed & impacted by the Well-rounded corners of the Appel devices, their perfect balance between screen-sizes & weight in grams. The other brands seemed to be still working to get their marketing-mix right whille Appel did their homework much before them and placed it in the stores.

3>

Perceived Security

! - By making Jailbreaking so impossible in the initial years Appel scored big in terms of security. Masses back then didn't have a clue about the Spy-wars going on between the advanced nations, they cared little about those things and more about a hackers or their GFs/BFs finding out about their hextra-merital huffairz.

"No! no one can hack an Appel so go for it!" was the mindset. Even if Appel or OEMs peeped was tightly guarded secret only hawk-eyed people or an insider could tell but never prove. No court was big enough to sue the Daddys.

More victrories in game rooms!

- with EyeOS people used to win more in online gaming compared to lower-end device specs. It soon became the top choice for performance. (unfortunately Windoz fones & the likes of Nohkia couldnt keep up which helped Appel too).

5>

The Ethnic Aspect!

- No matter how low a person was in the Social Status Quo, an Appel device gave them access to the Elite Chat Rooms XD. Another well-tailored marketing strategy by Appel. "Paid-up? ok you can join elite private clans" seemed to echo.

--------------------------- The last but not the least --------------------------

The Stock-Exchange Race!

- remember? Back in those days, suddenly all the CEOs were rushing to offer Appel devices as Bonuses. They themselves were buying mostly Appel or Bleckberies. The Employees were being given company-owned Appel devices that the employees could then own after a certain tenure in their resppective companies & firms. Why? Because The companies themselves were investing in A-tier Stock called Appel and the likes. The more Appel everywhere the more dividends! XD. There was a plus too, If a company goes Appel then the better chance to get listed on En.Wai.Ess.Ee. "Big daddies wont mind listing us on Big-Appel Stocks coz weve made them big bucks"- Biz Mind. XD

--------------------------------------------

For a stray religious hermit like me these things are not important but even now I see a huge number of people wanting Appel devices if they could afford them. There was nothing called security anyways back then nor today, be it any OS. I loaded Lnx-meent yesterday just to check how far its reached up to Windoz and sure enough- all being monitored again remotely so silently XD you could almost sense them grinning on the other end.
