I been following xiaomi ever since the first MI phone but the company seems to be losing its mojo. Its not the appleism thing because that was always there, ever since they made that android fork that emulates a lot of iOS UX.
No, the company seems to be at a crossroads: other firms like Oppo have overtaken it in breaking into the international market, which is ironic since xiaomi was the first chinese electronic firm anyone outside China cared about. At the same time they keep delaying a proper international rollout while trying to compete in the cutthroat bargain phone market in Asia were you have literally hundreds of brands making all kinds of stuff at incredible prices and very thin profits.
In short, its trying to be premium and affordable at the same time, and differentiate from regular android while still being android because it lacks the capacity to develop and support its own OS.
I don't care about how they copy apple because lets be honest everybody does, even apple copies other companies, because you have to be a stubborn idiot to miss a business opportunity for the sake of originality. If you that you go broke, and businesses are constantly doing and imitating whatever is successful. Does a dubstep BGM in an ad help sales? then we are using dubstep, end of story.
