Notting CEO reviewed the iPhone 14 Pro

Carl P, the co-founder of OnePlus, left the company in 2020 to launch a new startup. This startup named “Nothing” was founded in 2021 and a few months ago the first smartphone of this brand named Noting phone 1 And a different design was introduced. Now Carl P, in an interesting move, decided to review one of the most popular phones in the market. iPhone 14 Pro And compared it with Notting Fone 1 and of course answered several questions.

Of course, it is not easy to compete with the giants of the market, even if you are one of the old people of the market. Carl P has a long history in the smartphone world, and his previous company, OnePlus, is a major player in the market, so he knows that it is not easy to compete with the likes of Apple. However, Carl P seems to always be full of fresh ideas to promote his products.

In an interesting and almost rare move, Carl P has decided to check the front camera of the iPhone 14 Pro and compare it with his own startup smartphone. But what does the CEO of Nutting think about Apple’s popular phone?

iPhone 14 Pro review by Carl P

At Video Posted by Notting’s official YouTube account, a content producer from the company named “Hiro” decides to check out the iPhone with Carl P. In this video, Hero gives an iPhone 14 Pro device to CEO Nutting for review. Pi, of course, says that in order to check this device, he has to work with it for a week and then give his opinion.

One of the interesting points of this video is related to Apple’s product return policy. As we can see in the video, Hero calls Apple support and the support says that the phone can be replaced within 14 days, and at the end of the video we see the phone being returned.

Carl P has been using the iPhone 14 Pro as his second phone every day to learn about its performance. CEO Nutting says in this video that he is an old fan of Apple.

Pi begins his review with the design of the iPhone and the new Dynamic Island feature:

“I guess the main difference compared to before is the dynamic notch, which is a really clever design, but I think it’s a bit overhyped; Because after a few days of use, I can say that it is an interesting feature, but it does not change the way of communication with the phone.

Next, Hiro asks Pi how he feels about users thinking that the Noting Phone 1 is similar to the iPhone. CEO Nutting says he is annoyed by reading these words:

“It really bothers me to read these comments and I know where they are coming from. “If we talk about the buttons, we don’t have a problem because they really look like each other.”

Pi says that he has also asked Nutting’s industrial design team about this similarity, but he has not reached a conclusion and now he sees this similarity too much. According to Carl P, the speaker holes are not iPhone-like, and the fronts of all smartphones these days are similar, and not much can be done about it.

According to the CEO of Notting, the design of the back panel of Notting Phone 1 and iPhone is different from each other, and the fact that both phones have a box-shaped appearance is related to the fact that we are dealing with the most optimal design style for placing parts.

Noting does not benefit from Noting Phone 1

It’s time for the price. While the basic iPhone 14 Pro costs £1,099 ($999 in the US), the Noting Phone 1 retails for £399. Although there’s a big price difference between these devices, according to Pi, if you want the best, especially the best camera, you should buy the iPhone 14 Pro.

One of the differences in the pricing of the products is related to their manufacturing cost, which is higher than the Notting Fone 1 for the Apple representative. As P says, according to the reviews, the cost of making the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the same $501 which, of course, will probably reach $465 for the Pro model. Considering the base price of $999, Apple’s profit margin reaches 50%. Of course, we have to reduce the costs of marketing and other things from this amount.

On the other hand, the cost of making the Notting Phone 1 is 360 dollars, which is lower than the iPhone, but because of its position in the market, Apple provides cheaper parts. Overall, Nutting’s profit margin is much lower than Apple’s at a base price of $450, and according to Pi, it’s close to $0.

Perhaps the lack of profit means the failure of a product in the market, but according to Pi, we are dealing with a newly founded startup that has just entered this industry and as sales increase, suppliers reduce the cost of parts. With the continuation of this process, the netting profit will increase.

In the following, Karl P talks about the good performance and speed of the iPhone 14 Pro, of course, according to him, all phones have good performance today, and for example, the Notting Phone 1 still performs well despite its much weaker processor than the Apple representative.

Karl P: The iPhone 14 Pro has one of the best cameras on the market, but I don’t like iOS 16

Like all reviews, Carl P’s review has a camera section. According to Notting’s CEO, users are looking for a smartphone that they can rely on regardless of camera specifications. Pay says that the iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with one of the best cameras on the market, but the Noting Phone 1 also performs well. In fact, CEO Nutting thinks his company’s phone probably has the best camera in its price range.

Regarding the operating system, Pi says that iOS was his favorite operating system, but he does not like iOS 16:

“The truth is, I liked iOS and thought it was much better than Android, but I don’t like iOS 16 that much. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older. “iOS 16 hasn’t aged well, and to further show that I’m getting older, it was my favorite iOS design before the flat design or iOS 7.”

Carl P: Wait for the iPhone 15

Finally, it is time to choose the best phone and choose the CEO of Notting. According to Karl P., the iPhone 14 Pro is one of the best phones on the market with an amazing camera and performance. Of course, according to Pi, iPhones always have a high price. Pay also says that if you want to buy the iPhone 14, wait for the next generation. According to CEO Nutting, iPhone 14 Pro does not have many changes compared to its previous generation, and perhaps the most important is its camera.

On the other hand, Carl P suggests users to consider the Notting Phone 1 at half the price of the iPhone if they are looking for a different and more attractive phone.

At the end of the video, the iPhone 14 Pro is returned to the Apple representative.
