It definitely has nothing to do with Nothing. They are just using this to get attention. It’s pathetic really.
They are probably struggling for sales of their overpriced weird looking devices and needed some way to remind people they still exist
If you’re considering the Nothing 2, I advise you to rather look at the OnePlus 11, a far superior phone at a similar price. Especially on black Friday
It’s not the same company as day one… Now is owned by Oppo. So basically is a Oppo phone that is for sure.
And if you are looking for those super open phones to unlock add customs roms… Look another way.
For other stuff… Idk I have one it works well for me and it was a much cheaper alternative to Samsung or iPhone and with latest Snapdragon and plenty of ram and good hardware. Cameras idk if others are better I barely take pictures and usually I don’t care a lot for the quality.
And the Chinese fast charging thing they have is amazing. (Also supports USB c pd quick charging although much slower)
My Pixel 6 Pro maybe couldn’t call 911 for a week, was vulnerable to a device take over flaw Google owns security team disclosed and wasn’t patched until a week after the 90 day public disclosure deadline, and the modem heats up the phone and kills the battery.
The thing that put pressure on Apple was that other app, whose name I can’t remember, which came out a few weeks ago, and did iMessage and RCS by signing the user into an Apple Mini in their data centre and pushing the iMessage to the app on the users phone.
That is what you’d call a security nightmare! This app effectively can view all your iMessages.
THAT’S why Apple made this decision. Not because of Nothing.
Apple when said it was doing it for security, and on the RCS side will be working with Google to implement it securely and correctly.
Apple could have serious lawsuits if customers messages were being intercepted by these man-in-the-middle apps and there’s no way for Apple to stop it. They could be sued because they are at fault for not adopting RCS and thus leaving the customer open to using these shady companies.
Trust me, they don’t give a rat’s ass that some nothing company in a hole somewhere is trying to do this. At best, it might have confirmed their decision to adopt RCS because they saw yet another company (nothing) planning to do the same. Eventually you’d have tens of companies doing the same with massive privacy implications.
I’m not trying to say Apple made this change because of Nothing - just that the two things are not related and this announcement doesn’t suddenly make Nothing pathetic.
You’re right. Although personally I’ve always regarded them as pathetic. Their phonesc are just iPhone clones with a really stupid light gimmick on the back. Nothing special in any way, overhyped and overpriced.
Hell nah, been using the OnePlus 6 for a solid 5 years, then updated to a newer model and the software turned to hot garbage in the meantime. Not touching that shit ever again.

Wait- OnePlus is good, actually? Last I heard was massive disappointment in the company
No, it’s not.

OnePlus software is hot garbage now. Buy Pixel.

Idk if calling it pathetic is fair, they put together and announced this very complex thing before Apple announced RCS.

Arguably that was not the CEO of Nothing’s fault. He was probably beholden to Oppo the whole time
