What's particularly bad about the names of Graphene, Mint and Cinnamon? Especially compared to Android and iOS!!

  On their own? Nothing. But Graphene doesn’t mean anything to the general public. People aren’t buying “an iOS device”, they are buying iPhones. People aren’t buying “an Android phone”, they are buying “a Samsung/Galaxy” or a “Pixel”. Mind you, when I say people, I mean the general population. Not those actually interested in these subjects. My point is: people don’t care about these specifics, people care about having a frictionless experience (or as close to frictionless as possible). Having to explain what Graphene even is is friction enough for most people to not even bother listening to your explanation.

    > People aren’t buying “an iOS device”, they are buying iPhone Well, they kinda do. Apps are available on Android and iOS. They are not "available on Android, iPhone, iPad and Apple watch". iOS is actually used and recognized by the general public.

      > They are not “available on Android, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch”. No. They are available on the “Play Store” and the “App Store”. OSs are rarely mentioned. Store tags only feature store logos and store names, for device specific ones you get the device itself. The OS remains irrelevant in this scenario.
