Xiaomi rose to prominence by copying Apple and not only from a product point of view, but also from a strategic point of view. The company introduced several products that they copied Apple, its director dresses mainly in a dark turtleneck and blue jeans and you can see him at events One more thing. So many things that even Samsung wouldn't allow themselves to copy, however, it got so used to copying that it brought it an ironic problem.
That problem is copying its products. At least that's what its CEO Lei Jun declared: "What is the biggest problem? There are an awful lot of fakes out there. If others didn't copy our products, our sales would be two or three times higher." So Xiaomi believes that other Chinese manufacturers do not have the ability to come up with original products. On the other hand, the company presented last year the Mi Pad tablet with the dimensions and design of the iPad mini, only with the difference that it has a plastic body in pastel colors that we could recognize from the iPhone 5c. It also introduced its own Android skin, which is very similar to iOS 7. On the other hand, neither Apple is not quite a saint and Steve Jobs himself said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

This article is a bit off topic in my opinion. Xiaomi has a problem with fakes, that means that people buy Xiaomi, but in reality there are a lot of fakes with the Xiaomi logo... well, Xiaomi never did that! This is what Lei Jun is talking about.
