Dispute, refute, sue, demand, class action, whatever. Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, HP, Dell, Nokia are among the few, adding Xiaomi to the list. I don't get why other people don't get that the real winner here is actually Foxconn. I could and I'd like to say Foxconn does it best. They're like open-source (slash contract) when it comes to manufacturing. They could be playing the higher-tier game here because they must have those aforementioned major companies' blueprints and gameplans

Nobody is complaining when you're born having a mouth, a pair of ears and eyes same like other human being. If Apple and you thinks Xiaomi is a threat, then sue them. Don't just show what you think they did wrong online then!

                  ALL China brand mobile phones DO NOT HAVE DISTINCTIVE DESIGN. Copying is their standard practice, shame on their management.

                    News informationfor Xiaomia fans. Many othermanufactuering want join US market. US is big market and many legal difficult . I think this is leap for xiaomi to develop more and more. Frankly speaking, i seen many phone from xiaomi have good design and suitable price but i regret that xiaomi not yet launch your phone in our country. If launch, i will buy soon.

If you're smart enough to complain, you must be smart enough to find a solution too. By the way, there's a notification menu and you can actually reply from the lock-screen for certain apps' notification. Only the no app drawer statement is true, the rest you said are bullocks or just your own personal taste.

                                      I bought mi 4i 2 weeks ago. The launcher and system UI is suck. No notification menu, no lock screen enhanced notification, no app drawer. Stop copying stupid ios ui, Android AOSP is much better.
