The author's main reason for moving from Apple to Xiaomi seems to be money savings. He sold his iPhone and bought a Xiaomi device for less money. He wonders why Apple's hardware costs more. To me this is sort of obvious, but apparently it needs to be explained to people like this author: innovation is done by creative people, and those people get paid. When your creative process is 90% theft, yes there is a savings that can be passed on to the unscrupulous buyer. Xiaomi's behavior is not fair to the innovators. So, sure, life is not fair, I get that. But each of us can decide what kind of company we want to support.
