What the iPhone SE has that the Nothing phone doesn�t is iOS.
That alone is worth it to many people.

 
Hi badgolferman,
 
You'll never hear me disagree with a sensibly logical statement.
 
So thanks for pointing that out, which, as you're likely aware, is
almost completely due to pure marketing spending (not R&D spending)
by Apple.
 
As you're likely aware, Apple's R&D spend has always been the
lowest in high tech - while Apple's marketing spend is one of the
highest on earth.
 
Marketing alone, e.g., convincing people to believe that the Apple
ecosystem is safer and more secure, is what drives that high
demand.
 
Not functionality. Not performance. Not capabilities.  Marketing
alone.

 
Note the response you got, BGM....

 
What specifically in his response do you object to?

 
All of his utterly baseless claims.
 
Do you really need them pointed out?

 
Nah, he knows they are there and has no problem with them, but is just
afraid to say it. 😉
