Mostly because of its founder. And the fact that the smartphone space has become so stagnant that any change at all is notable.
I think the overlap of people using an iPhone without an iCloud account but also who have a Mac to back up their phone, is a very very small group.
It is an interesting thought experiment though. As much as I dislike absolutely everything requiring some cloud account, I don't see how anyone could use a phone not signed into iCloud for anything that matters.
This would be a good case for sideloading. You can't even activate an Android phone without a Google account, but you could install all apps from a third party store. While you can technically use an iPhone without an Apple ID you can't use any third party apps at all without jailbreaking.
I have this phone as my backup/work phone, next to my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
For it's relatively low price ($450 USD), it's pretty good for a couple of things:
1) Screen. It has an extremely good quality OLED screen. 120hz, edge to edge, no bezel/symetrical design, much like the iPhone. Also 6.55 inch too.
2) Cool back design - never seen before. Gimmick, sure, but enough to turn heads. I was asked many times by random people to show how it works.
3) Decent camera quality (Main camera. Not flagship level, but decent enough)
4) Near stock android.
It's alright. Good first attempt to make a buzz in this overly saturated smart phone world.

Let’s be honest. It’s basically the most interesting Android phone out there, probably the only that’s actually worth being named an iPhone competitor. (Not sales-wise, but experience-wise).
Seeing people's negative reaction to a small brand trying to create something interesting is rather depressing.
Especially considering where their 'Team Apple' came from. A garage.

Looks like a bomb to me. So it's The Bomb or it's going to bomb or it's trying to copy Note 7?
