This is either a click bait article, or the lousiest article I've read.

FINALLY someone saying what everyone else is thinking…expect of course the other copers commenting below defending Xiawxi because they clearly cannot afford the real deal. 😂


Seriously though this is symptomatic of most of tech coming out of China these days, from their EVs (Xiawxi’s SU7 is a Porsche Taycan ripoff) to their jets (their J-35 is an F-35 ripoff) and it’s a pity really because China has so much potential if they finally focussed on doing their own thing. Hopefully they correct course before it’s too late…

Unfortunately, China is leading in EV technology. And you do realize, a sixth-generation fighter jet is not something you copy... 😅

Also watches look similar ... it's normal to copy what works well, and if you think that they were studied months before and they came out at nearly the same time... well doesn't look that one copied the other.

I'm not defending Xiaomi, Apple neither, it's just how it works.

Let start with the designe , Xiaomi did this with the ultra 11 with camera and smaller back screen 4 years ago, apple are the one copying here , not the way around, so no stollen hardware, on the software it's the same , they use Android not IOS, on the visual designe they sad it years a go that they like what apple did , and they try to get the best of the to, this is not copying, it elevating the thing to other lv , and because they can , they done it, let talk about apple they always introduce idea that exist on Android phone for year and tell the world that they innovate , like this year the dual camera front and back working at the same time. Not to mansion that apple is copying Xiaomi to and they sad it like Android to. This is the business , how does it better. Apple stoped inovating a capple of year ago, they are trailing in so many staff that I lost track

Exactly what I'm thinking from the first time I saw these new xiaomi's. It somehow doesn't matter who came up with this design (actually Poco, not xiaomi), it matters that at the same time as iphones, xiaomi decides to implement it for the first time. Poco somehow does not equal xiaomi, so it's first time xiaomi is implementing the poco design. And on top of that the name, why the same names as iphone.

Totally shameless coping, so even if it's not bad design and even looks better than iphones, it's very bad timing. Getting these xiaomis now means like getting a worse phones than they are, and they makes iphones step up like a "real deal" phones, even when they look worse.

Yes, just like the camera design on the iPhone 17 Pro looks eerily similiar to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Mg, camera design to me looks like a derivative from the previous iPhone model.


it’s not like they made it longer for the sake of copying xiomi. You guys serious? That bump has all of the components that used to be spread out on the device and now they fit all of them under that bump.


xaiomi just had a glass there to house bunch of camera components. And now they fitted a screen.


wanna bet that if Apple did something different with the back xiomi would have followed that instead of their 11 ultra? and add a gimmick just to upstep Apple.


it is blatantly clear that ciomi is following Apple footsteps when it comes to design and presentation. It’s admirable. But I don’t think Apple knows xiomi exists.


and to be perfectly clear again for the 100th time —- there are thousands of designs from Android now - every quirk has been tried. You cannot design anything that doesn’t look like something in the past. It’s like throwing a rock in the lake and trying not to hit water. Xiomi just happened to be the device that it looks like after Apple starched their camera bump.

Have you even seen the Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra? The iPhone 17 Pro camera design is definitely a derivative of that. You're making excuses for Apple while trying to bury Xiaomi, when they were both inspired by each other. That's not a good look for you.

And yes, Apple does know of Xiaomi. Apple is heavily involved in the Chinese smartphone market. You think they don't know who their competitors are? You think Apple doesn't know of a company that's constantly in the top 5 global smartphone market like they are? You think that they haven't researched them all well? Are you serious? Xiaomi isn't some unknown company. Apple and Xiaomi also compete against each other in Europe and India, and other countries.

Let's be perfectly clear here: ALL of these smartphone companies "borrow" from each other. Apple is NOT exempt from the list of borrowing. The back camera of the iPhone 17 Pro is definitely inspired by the back camera of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. One of the reasons why Apple fans have so many people come at them is because you all think that Apple is the most original company on the market and never "borrows" from anyone, and that's far from the case. This is why the term "reality distortion field" has been designated for Apple fans.

Your just gonna completely ignore the fact Xiaomi named the whole lineup the same as the iPhone and skipped the number 16 this year?

Im trying to understand how it looks like an iPhone. Is it because of the camera? Because if that is your logic, this was the same design use on last year's model. So if anything,Apple copied th3m.


It is amazing how dumb your guys are. I mean you obviously are targeting the design of the camera sensor. But did you even look at their earlier models? Nope obviously you didn't


Apple.is the one who is unoriginal and is always copying people. Please go look at last year's version of the Xiaomi 16 Pro Max and you will see the 17 of their own phone and the iPhone copies it.

There's no such thing as Xiaomi 16 or Pro max. Why do you think Xiaomi skipped the number 16 and went straight to 17 this year?
