Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

    The hardware was good for the time, and the UI/UX was a solid concept. However, it came way late to the party.

      I couldn’t hate anything more than I hated the Windows phone UI. It constantly felt like everything was constantly cut off, or like I was looking at my phone through a keyhole.

        Then on the other end windows 8 it felt like there was too much empty space, bad on small and large displays.

          This 10,000 times. I thought the phone UI was novel and useful at the time but that never translated to the desktop or even a touch screen.
