iOS 18 - Inspired by Fisher-Price?

I installed iOS 18 this morning on the work iPhone.
And this is an “update”?
This image springs to mind
Who the hell designs these? It looks awful!

@phenomlab Yuk!! 🤮.

@phenomlab Yuk!! 🤮.
@JAC Horrible, isn’t it?

@phenomlab Yuk!! 🤮.
I haven’t purchased an apple product in some years now.
I did however purchase an android lookalike in the Nothing 2a.

@JAC Well, that still looks better than iOS 18
-
@phenomlab Agreed. Decent little android phone.
-
@phenomlab It really is. The alternative is to buy a logo pack but why pay more when you’ve already paid hundreds for the handset.
-
@phenomlab Agreed. Decent little android phone.
@JAC Reasonably priced also. Just checked Amazon and it’s a fraction of what you’d pay back on contract for what looks like superior hardware.

LOL that is hilarious!

@JAC I was looking at their website for the nothing phone you posted here and this is something that I would actually be interested in getting. It would be a way to get away from the brand name phones with a more minimalistic OS and without all the tracking and info steeling that are common on the major brands. It appears to be a very good quality phone as well.
Have you had any kinds of issues with it?
What have you noticed that you don’t like about it?
Anything that it doesn’t have that you wish it did? -

@Madchatthew There’s a good review here if it helps?
@phenomlab nice review, thank you! In the comments it was mentioned that you have to be accepted to the developer program, although you don’t need to be a programmer. Due to that they had a very limited warranty on the phone. I spose you could get an insurance plan through Asurion or something, but don’t know if they would have to be partnered or not. I like the concept and idea of this phone.

@Madchatthew I too like the concept - and the price is very appealing. I know of one colleague who buys his own handset every couple of years upfront, and I think he’d like this being an Android fan.
Seems you can buy it easily in the UK. Not sure about insurance though, but shouldn’t the warranty be subject to the usual statutory period of 12 months from the manufacturer’s perspective?

@phenomlab I would think that would be the case in regards to the warranty. It also said on the site that it would get security updates for 4 years, so you would definitely get your money’s worth before having to buy a new one.

@Madchatthew Agreed. Will seriously consider this option at the next “upgrade” interval.

Anything that it doesn’t have that you wish it did?The 2a+ is out also but that’s probably an extra £50-80 extra.
I’ve had no issues at all with it, it’s a snappy phone, does everything I want and need although mainly the basis like calling, texting nothing over the top but it’s a very solid phone for the price.
It doesn’t have wireless charging, that’s something I’d like but not essential and doesn’t make me like the phone any less

.@JAC @Madchatthew i’m seriously considering taking this route on the next upgrade cycle. Trouble is, I do like a Samsung phone…

Looks like the Nothing 2a Plus has had some seriously rigourous testing. Now that’s some sort of phone if it can withstand those conditions

@JAC That is good to know. Wireless charging is nice. You can just set your phone on the wireless charger when you crawl into bed and it is good to go the next morning for the day. I do like to play some games on the phone, but from what I have seen on their website, I don’t think that it would be an issue by any means.

Ah yes, I also do really like the Samsung phone as well.
When I looked on Nothing’s site, I don’t remember the 2a Plus being on there. And the price is amazing. $399 for the phone. I will be seriously considering getting a Nothing phone when it is time for me to get a new phone.
