Originally I purchased the cheap CFM alternative Nothing offers while I waited for my preorder for the iPhone 17 Pro Max to arrive, I was so impressed by the Nothing OS and how seamless everything worked I cancelled my iPhone 17PM order & purchased one of these instead. Very intuitive interface and anyone who has navigated iOS beforehand will quickly become accustomed. Highly recommend for what wo mclovin · noelleeming.co.nz
