Nothing to Include Pre-Loaded Apps on Select Phones
Nothing, a phone maker, is starting to include apps like Instagram on some of its non-flagship phones.
The company says this is because it costs a lot to make phones, and they need to find ways to make money.
They want to keep prices low.
Some people who like Nothing phones may not like this because Nothing phones usually don't have extra apps pre-installed.
Nothing states that these apps are popular and may even make the phones work better.
Nothing will include third-party partner apps on select phones.
The included apps will be on non-flagship phones.
These will primarily be popular platforms that users install.
Nothing says this is for sustainable growth and optimal pricing.
The apps could improve camera or sharing features.
