Introducing 'Apple Peels' ( a known word around the world) but not so much in India. Well the world peel refers to the fact that this gadget is like a skin / case and you need to peel it on and off... :)

To give you a bit of a background, the first Apple peel was introduced somewhere around July 2010 by a company named Yosion from china. This was truly a revolutionary product allowing someone to have an option of owning an iphone at a fraction of its cost. Since then there have been several versions and companies which produce such peels and have a share in the overall market share.

Interestingly, as can be seen from a trend analysis (courtesy Google) over the words apple peel there was a lot of search for a product which can convert and iPod Touch to iPhone (as is demonstrated by the search term 'iPod to iPhone'[Red line], and this interest continues to remain almost at the same level even today. [Ask anybody that he can use his iPod Touch as iPhone and he will jump in a jiffy]

Google trend search for apple peel and ipod to iphone

This product attracted a lot of attention during its initial phase of life cycle but as can be seen the search went into oblivion after Jan 2011. This, inspite of the fact that buyers are still searching for the term 'iPod to iPhone' as aggressively as before.

Also analyzing the regional trend denoted that this product was searched extensively in developing countries like Thailand, Burma ( not India though, it has remained out of public knowledge in India). Thus the bottom line is, People do want some gadget which enables them to use their ipod as an iphone.

So here we are re-introducing (or reminding people) of one of the best innovative gadget (which though based on a simple concept has the potential to give a huge value for money for users) the Apple Peels
