That must be heartbreaking in a way. You create an entire new brand from scratch, successfully made it a household name by focusing on what consumers wanted at a good value….only to have them ruin it by trying to chase margin. Seems to me he knows that to be competitive you cannot compete with Samsung/Apple on margin. You need to undercut them while being smart on focusing on software. It’s kinda basic, but not a lot of companies in the space have the discipline to follow through and be competitive.

true. but you also have to take into account that the BoM for Apple is most likely less that what is calculated. Unless Apple released how much each iPhone cost to make (and they never will), we can only make assumptions. Apple likely gets huge discounts from it's suppliers, as they have huge volumes. I wouldn't be surprised if the real BoM was closer to the $400 mark.

@@markmywords3817 in this case it kind of does trick you into going for something lesser. people will admit that the iPhone is a better phone, or a Samsung is a better value, than the Nothing phone, the ploy here is to make you way to buy it regardless of all that, just because this guy seemed kind of cool in a 10 minute video. its weird phenomena but it seems to be working on some.

[@markmywords3817]

@@JC-bh6gu I think the people who feel like it's a trick aren't tricked at all. It's simply a brand marketing move (i.e. we're constantly reminding you we are here as an option). I'm part of the market segment that tries to find the most utility over the cost of a phone, has no brand loyalty, likes to root phones, and knows new entrants work on razor thin or even negative margins. I know that if Nothing gets more long-term brand recognition, they will 2x-3x the cost of their flagship in the long run. Same strategy as the previous entrants (Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus). If marketing was just about tricks, then you'd have to contend with the fact that Apple has made the market get used to more than $1k price tag of phones, when the whole market used to pay for way way less.

For that alone it's worth more money than competitors yet it's priced about the same as in equivalent tier Lenovo / Dell / etc. The value is absolutely top notch on M1 macbook (pro). Not to mention the great monitor, speakers, etc. I'd argue M1 iMac is also a great value with great speakers and monitor with the spec, but it's generally a niche product. Also tbh I think apple today has better value in general outside of a few exceptions like some crazy stupid monitor stand. Airpods pro 2 is priced the same or similar as competitors but with top tier ANC and absolutely industry dominating transparency mode (not seen in any type of headphones much less air buds).

They changed, and now it's different from what OnePlus meant to me. It still has value, but lost its thing that OnePlus was known for. Like the build, reliability-i really can't put my finger on it. But when u used to hear OnePlus u kinda knew that this was a grt choice, not anymore. I have high hopes from nothing. I may or may not purchase it, coz I love 3.5mm jacks more than others and I wouldn't let them ruin my experience just bcoz all companies joined hands in removing that option for me. While some sony still providing the jack, and asus packing the jack in its smaller phone, they literally have no other reason to remove it, than to only sell their wireless buds. This is what makes me repell from such companies. If nothing 2 brings back the 🎧 jack, then I will grab it asap. But seems unlikely.

Just brought the phone last week in India. Software experience and camera is good. But speakers are not that great. On the first day itself cracking sound was coming from the upper speaker. I have given phone to the service center, they have said its hardware issue, let's see if they replace it or repair it. I want replacement but its just over 7 days, so they might not replace it. Remember guys Nothing is a new brand, problems may come, you have to be ready for it when going for nothing. Edit - Nothing actually replaced my phone with a new one. Speakers are good now, actually I am loving them. Truly value for money phone. Thanks Nothing. 😄

He also says that Apple makes 54% margin on it while only counting material costs (hello, a company has other expenses as well - who’s gonna do the software for it, let alone things like marketing, design and logistics?), yet when he speaks about their phone he takes all of marketing, distribution, etc. into account just to say that they make 0% margin on it.

Dynamic Island: I'm using 14 pro since it was released (mid September) and it improves the whole experience regarding mainly phone calls, screen recording and music playing. At the beginning it really looked like something that would be taken off the phone in the following iPhone versions just like apple did with the MacBook's touch bar, but as time went by I changed my mind. Looking forward to try the Nothing Phone as my secondary Phone though! Congrats for all you guys have been doing!

Carl is the reason why I bought a Nothing Phone in the first place. 2nd was the exposed back and design overall. I was coming from a OnePlus 6T when I got the (1), but after a week I started getting annoyed by the bugs, dust in the glass back and saddest part, the green and red tint of the screen at low brightness (it gradually got worst day by day). It was really hard for me to get in touch with them to send it back and get the refund, but after a month or so i got the money back and got an OnePlus 9 Pro. I get that is a new brand and i really believe in them but for now, I'll stick with the OnePlus... which by the way is not as good as it used to be regarding the OS
