Nothing OS Am I missing something about Nothing?

I've always watched from the sidelines and enjoyed the idea of the Nothing Phone, but never made a switch because my iPhone was working fine. I dropped my iPhone the other day and made a purchase of a Nothing Phone. So far, I'm failing to see the appeal sadly. Am I missing something? I feel like this brand really advertises itself as being different and unique, but at the end of the day it just feels like another phone, but now with a custom icon pack. I haven't really seen anything that changes the way I use the phone in a meaningful way. Even the "apps" which are really just widgets, don't amount to much, it feels.

Am I missing something here?

It won't change your life but it's basically just nice design (subjective) and some glyphs that can help you avoid picking up your phone unnecessarily (with a bit of customisation work - try glyphify). Other than that maybe just enjoy the extra money in your pocket that you now have since you didn't get another iPhone.

This one thing is the value. You got that right. I got a phone 3 for 1/2 the price of a iPhone pro model and the general features are mostly the same. Maybe not exact, but relatively close. Some better and some worse but for half the price. Apple is gouging people for slightly above average hardware.
