The main question the Nicene Creed answered was whether Jesus was God. It was written in response to the Arian controversy in 325AD. The creed clearly states that Jesus is "God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God."

The Apostle's Creed starts with "I believe" and the Nicene Creed with "We believe". After Vatican II, we recited the Nicene Creed using "we" since our faith is a community relation to God rather than a personal one. We are a community of believers. I believe that the "I believe" will be reverted to in the new translation next year.

How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?

They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
