Nothing\u2019s co-founder Akis Evangelidis hit back at this. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFAKE NEWS&#8230; We are not shutting down any markets. Inaccurate reports are being circulated; Phone (4b) sold 29,537 units on Day 1 only, breaking records in its price segment,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AkisEvangelidis\/status\/2080690467918803052\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/x.com\/AkisEvangelidis\/status\/2080690467918803052\/photo\/1\" aria-label=\"said on X\">said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Phone (4b) is the latest mid-range handset the company has released, winning positive reviews as well as what Evangelidis describes as strong sales. <\/p>\n<p>Strategic Shift Toward AI-Native Business Units<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s going on? Nothing has grown hugely in a short time and it could be that this is a correction, aimed at efficiencies. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are doing is reorganising our teams to prepare for our next phase of growth. We are introducing dedicated business units \u2014 including an AI-native business unit \u2014 and consolidating individual countries into regional hubs to operate much more efficiently,\u201d Evangelidis added, acknowledging that this is a difficult transition for the company.<\/p>\n<p>It comes at a time when technology companies worldwide are finding the cost of components soaring \u2014 even Apple has had to put prices up, something anathema to the company. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile these are hard decisions, it is a necessary step to position us to shape the next era of personal computing,\u201d Evangelidis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe phone making company has expanded into Best Buy stores across the US, opened a flagship store in Bengaluru and recently launched several new smartphones and audio products,\u201d CityAM commented. These include the Ear (3a) in-ear headphones with new features and striking audio. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-2 link-embed--long-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidphelan\/2026\/07\/22\/iphone-18-pro-release-date-apples-15-year-event-timeline-points-to-one-september-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"iPhone 18 Pro And iPhone 18 Pro Max Release Date: Apple\u2019s Event Timeline Signals Exact Day\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidphelan\/2026\/07\/22\/iphone-18-pro-release-date-apples-15-year-event-timeline-points-to-one-september-date\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesiPhone 18 Pro And iPhone 18 Pro Max Release Date: Apple\u2019s Event Timeline Signals Exact DayBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nothing Phone (4b) Nothing Nothing is one of the U.K.\u2019s tech success stories, co-founded in London by Carl&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":824550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[288263,288259,288262,49,48,172776,288264,288258,269310,288261,288260,61,288265],"class_list":["post-824549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ai-business-unit","tag-akis-evangelidis","tag-android-smartphone-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-carl-pei","tag-component-costs","tag-nothing-layoffs","tag-nothing-phone-4b","tag-nothing-phone-sales","tag-tech-industry-job-cuts","tag-technology","tag-u-k-tech-companies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/824550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
