iPhone Passcode or Android PIN can lead to steal credentials
Source
A security loophole has been discovered in iOS and Android phones that allows criminals to access users' accounts including the bank accounts and steal money without knowing their passwords, if PIN is used.
Once the thief changes the password, they can disable Find My iPhone, preventing victims from locating or erasing their phones remotely. This also enables the thief to resell the iPhone.
Thieves would target victims at bars, befriend them, and observe them unlocking their iPhones with the passcode. If they didn't catch the passcode, they might ask to take a photo and subtly turn off the phone before returning it.
Once the phone is restarted, a passcode is required to unlock it, so they end up stealing it and RIP users' account, data and privacy
An economist's iPhone 13 Pro Max was stolen, and thieves then exploited the device's passcode to change her Apple ID password and steal $10,000 from her bank account.
Similarly, on Android phones, changing your Google account password only requires a PIN. Google allows this because the request comes from a device that is recognized as yours, but there's no further verification beyond the PIN. The process prompts for the current password first, but the "forgot password" option allows the PIN to be used instead.
So, a stolen smartphone could result in losing access to your iCloud/Google account and other personal data if PIN is used

Nothing Phone 2 coming with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
Nothing Phone 2 will feature satellite communication feature so it was speculated earlier that it will have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the same because of X70 modem
But iphone series uses X65 modem which is the same used in Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and it also packs satellite communication feature
So Nothing Phone 2 even with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 will have satellite communication feature

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus launched in new Yellow color
Price?
Same as iphone 14 price which was launched 6 months earlier
Generally smartphones loose their price value after sometime from launch, so its a moneymaking move by apple to launch same phone at same price to gain more profit
