null is how the NSNull singleton logs. So:

if (cheDisk == [NSNull null]) {
    // cheDisk is null
}

            NSArray *innerPhotos = photo;
            NSLog(@"photo... %@",innerPhotos);
        }

    }



    cheDisk1=[checkArray valueForKey:@"LN"];

    NSLog(@"FN =%@",tel);

try with

   objectForKey will return nil if a key doesn't exist


  Symbol    Value            Meaning
  =======   =============   =========================================
   NULL     (void *)0       literal null value for C pointers
   nil      (id)0           literal null value for Objective-C objects
   Nil      (Class)0        literal null value for Objective-C classes
  NSNull    [NSNull null]   singleton object used to represent null


  NSString *strOP = [results objectForKeyOrNil:@"OP"];

 - (id)objectForKeyOrNil:(id)key {
     id val = [self objectForKey:key];
     if ([val isEqual:[NSNull null]] || val==nil) {
         return nil;
     }

     return val;
 }

Hope this helps.

cheDisk=[checkArray valueForKey:@"FN"];
        cheDisk1=[checkArray valueForKey:@"LN"];.

    if([cheDisk isEqualToString:@"null"]){
        cheDisk = @"Apple";
    }
    if([cheDisk1 isEqualToString:@"null"]){
        cheDisk1 = @"Apple";
    }


        NSLog(@"FN =%@",cheDisk);
        NSLog(@"LN =%@",cheDisk1);

you can use :

if (cheDisk isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]) {
    // cheDisk is null
}

Hope this will help you.

All the best !!!
