You mention that sales are down due to a lack of interest in the base model. Yet, you also say the models that mimic the iPhone 17 Pro are selling well. In your own words:
“The new phones even mimic the iPhone 17 Pro’s redesign… All of this, unfortunately for Xiaomi, seems to not have done much to drive sales.”
Then you state:
“This reduction in shipments has reportedly come about due to less than expected demand for the base model Xiaomi 17, which does not look like the iPhone 17 Pro. The Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max are seeing more success due to their daring redesigns, but not enough to offset the lack of interest in the base model.”
The issue isn’t the design of the Pro/Pro Max models— according to you they’re performing well. The problem is the base model, which is not the same design and isn’t generating enough demand. Your are contradicting yourself and confusing me as a reader in order to prove a point.
