lilac

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on apple products overturned making bloomer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'phone cases character' is the wordplay.
'phone cases' becomes 'lila' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'character' becomes 'c'.
'lila'+'c'='LILAC'

'used' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lilac that I've seen before include "Shrub with fragrant purplish or white flowers" , "Pale purple - flowering tree" , "Shrub or small tree with fragrant blossom" , "I call (anag)" , "Flowering tree of the olive family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
