Is there any source where Apple mentioned it as appliance?

  I doubt it. That's my impression as an iPhone/iPad user of many years. Apple seems to make choices that ensure basic functions work reliably and without wasting resources (like battery) as opposed to a more computer like approach of giving more integration points and configuration options. Android has allowed things (widgets, alternate keyboards, different launchers/lock screens, background processes) that expose more power but rely on the 3rd party developer to ensure the experience still works well without wasting resources or crashing. Apple only provides such things after careful study and lockdown (such as keyboards). Much more careful, much more sealed up unmodifiable box.

    So its a computer then. I am not sure of the Apple careful approach. I am using latest OS on my old Mac book pro. Each new release has made it slower, draning more battery.
