lolifnotely🇮🇱 When did they [Nothing] claim they’re (aiming to be) Apple’s replacement? Even Apple has a ton of non-Apple apps and features because it’s impossible to build everything on their own. Did Apple build the mentioned Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Studio (Photo)? No. Yet they are the most used creative apps in Apple’s ecosystem and iOS/MacOS users are not demanding from Apple to create their variants of those existing and powerful apps.

grepGander i think uh have not seen the post of carl on the Instagram… just se that post uh will understand

grepGander

AyushYaduvanshi_sD5xyDzjFL No, I can’t see something that doesn’t exist. And let me guess, you can’t provide a link/screenshot to show it to me, right? (because such a thing doesn’t exist so it’s easy to be unable to)

Edit: He currently has 133 posts, I just went through about the first 40, and not a single one those claims “We Nothing will be an Apple replacement.” What he said is “I’ve been stealing your customers, one bored iPhone user at a time.”, which doesn’t even mean “Apple replacement”, lol.

lolifnotely🇮🇱

grepGander But, you see, if he says he’s going to steal from Apple users, that means he intends to (at least partially) replace Apple… 😂

Seriously, that’s one of the things Carl says the most, that nothing is going to be Apple’s competitor

grepGander

lolifnotely🇮🇱 Or maybe he’ll threaten to kidnap iPhone users, who knows? It’s just silly marketing, nothing else. When I drink Red Bull, I don’t actually think I’m going to grow literal wings just because of their “Red Bull gives you wiiiiiings” slogan (yet many Nothing users in our community believe exactly that, for example that Essential Space key to appear in the Phone (2a) 🤷🏻‍♂️):

grepGander i think uh just want to prove yourself that ur right 👍

lolifnotely🇮🇱

grepGander But, after all, it didn’t happen once… Carl said it over and over again, even two years ago… (I don’t know more than that 😅)

And Carl owns the company, he’s the one who’s steering it towards its future. Right now it looks like he’s steering it to be a competitor to Apple

grepGander

2Kumar Is there a reason to prove that water is wet?

AyushYaduvanshi_sD5xyDzjFL

grepGander everyone has there own opinion…..

Draco

lolifnotely🇮🇱 Ig he will be dropping something crazy in NOS5 which will blow up 😋🔥Hope soo I’m a fanboy of Nothing and yess ig it’s okay to make apple a competition cause each brand does that 😜 Apple aura is infinite…. And yess your points in the posts are right I’m with you

Is anyone facing issues after the new update? Has the camera quality decreased at all, or have you noticed any bugs? Also, please let me know how your battery backup is holding up or if you’ve spotted any other changes!

Thank you ♥️

Does anyone facing issue with battery life ?? I think mine is reduced After the update … before I was getting 7 -7.5 hrs sot but now 5-close to 6 hrs sot … does anyone facing the same ???

lolifnotely🇮🇱

NP3User It takes the system a few days to get used to the update, wait a few more days and check again🥲

Although right now it seems like my battery life has actually improved, it’s too early to tell

hauntedwolf

NP3User I felt the same and some heating issues.

Sickchild72 didn’t work? Select clock type, pick one picture (default or your own picture), set to depth (if available) and then move the wallpaper.

Don’t forget to update launcher to the latest version.

If still didn’t work, do clear cache of your launcher app.

I noticed a Glyph interface bug after the June update. When adjusting the volume inside Instagram, the Glyph progress bar immediately fills up entirely, even though the actual system volume was only increased by 5% to 10%

I am not sure if I am the only one facing this minor bug

Thank you
