Apple’s philosophy just rubs some people the wrong way, me included. It’s all carefully calculated to generate awe, to cause laughter like with the evil twin remark during the event. There is very little genuine yet they act like no one could ever see through them.
The form over function ideology, the outrageous pricing and innovation claim are on one end. On the other, there is the xerox issue, the 18 employees jumping from factory to their death because they didn’t want to make iphones, and safety nets were installed. There is the $5 million donation to hurricane victims but then there are the tax shelter court hearings. There is the talk about Steve the great innovator but there is also the Steve who didn’t like showers and baths, liked acid and tried to fight cancer with a fruit diet. All this talk about vision for the future yet Steve was against the idea for an app store until others convinced him. Desperate attempts to secure monopoly with patents all the while syphoning exorbitant amounts of money. No one can objectively justify a $1000 phone but it would help if it were actually built in the US. There is also the complete currency exchange ignorance, buying in the UK=£999…
Every year they talk of innovation yet the features bragged about were present in other phones for years… They tried to play the victim yet before they got into the phone business, so many other companies coexisted with a lot less litigation going on, until they entered. Apple earned lots of bad karma, they deserve to fall from grace.
Yes, their CPU/GPU combos are superior to anything else. Yet they sat rigidly on 3.5″ screens forever and then they quietly adopted those very “jumbo” screens they used to make fun off. Sued Android for anything they could yet quietly adopted many of it’s features while desperately trying to prevent Android from utilizing features they claimed ownership of.
Their phones are intuitive, my mother never got along with android phones I got her yet she mastered the iPhone once I got it for her.
They are good at what they do, there is no doubt about it yet they are such a sleazy business, I boycott their products out of principle.
The suicide rate at foxconn is actually lower than the suicide rate of the population.
A double camera setup on the back would have made me change to a mix, but I’ll stick to the OnePlus 5 I own for the moment. Next year’s mix might be difficult to resist to, I love the direction they’re taking with it and love xiaomi a lot! (My girlfriend calls me a fan boy … She has no idea xD)
Lei Jun said Mix was originally named Mi X, where X means experimental/conceptual. Then they found Mix easier to speak out. He appreciated that change, especially after iPhone X was announced. Source: weibo.com/1749127163/FlC6aeN9q
Xiaomi needs to come to the US man!
Every product I use from them is just quality
Why is this downvoted? He is absolutely right, apple’s a11 processor or all of apples processors from the past few years have been leaders in performance upon release.
The a11 benchmarks are insane.
4061 single core , 9959 multicore
Vs
Exynos 8895 (s8)
1934 single core, 6338 multicore
Snapdragon 835
1915 single core , 6106 multicore
*Geekbench 4 results.
The latest SoC from Apple is hands down the fastest chip on the market and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
But fuck me its an ugly phone. They some how managed to make it look busy with nothing on it.
They do make trailers… Here in Asia. That’s the problem I think.
I think it may have led to decision to fight cancer with a fruit diet. I brought it up because they pushed the squeaky clean image. In fact he was a IP thief who got lucky to be around real talent like Wozniak whom he treated like shit, as well as many others.
PS: I should add that you’re wrong about the Apple copying on the 4X…
1. Xiaomi had color phones BEFORE Apple did, yet people somehow Apple gets credit for it,
2. The Chassis design is like a generic smartphone, it hardly has any Apple design elements. Even the big speaker cones was something HTC did first before Apple as are metal center and plastic top and bottom.
That might be the worst phone commercial ive seen. It loops back around and lands perfectly on good, i love it!
Holy shit no, this is the best bahahahahha
I didn’t know that the x in mix stands for that , thanks !
You’re right, Xiaomi TIME TRAVELED to the future so they can copy them before Apple got anything.
Like Microsoft did it?
Yeah but Microsoft has a tendency to innovate to early and when the tech isn’t mature enough to be useful. I.e smart phones, tablets, living room PC’s. apple swoops in when the timing is right.
Not sure if that is only about timing.
Microsoft, and other companies, tend to do real innovation, bring new features and improvements, trying to create demand for it.
Apple just implements proven technology, and things that the public has been wanting for years, like wireless charging.
Except hardware is not only processor. It’s also screen, battery, camera, gpu, design etc., all of which are comparable and often times better at lower priced Android phones.
Awful trailer. Shows everything except for the product itself.
He’s talking about the processors. Apple processors perform best.
this xiaomi trailer is actually really good imo
Still better than [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGmpGHWTQL8) …
I’ve never done acid, but I don’t understand why you list it as a negative thing. Steve Jobs was known for just being an asshole to the people he worked with. That would be a negative worth listing.
What’s the issue with Acid? Even Bill Gates took some. It’s not like it’s Heroin or something.
Their hardware is shit and but-ugly. Did you see the presentation today?
Be terrible if people found out you can get an iphone spec android phone for about a third of the price if you can bear not to have a popular logo on the back for you to tug yourself off about. 🙂
Because Android fanboys got their feelings hurt. I’m not an iPhone fan either but there’s no question about A11 being the superior chip.
Meanwhile I use a Snapdragon 625 which isn’t near the Snapdragon 835 in terms of performance yet I don’t feel like my phone is slow at all.
Most iPhone users don’t benefit from the insanely good soc: they just text, take pictures, social media, …
Not hating Apple or their products it’s just that you can something that also does the job and is like 5 times cheaper and most people wouldn’t mind the difference. It’s just that they believe it’s better because Apple’s brand name is on it. 99,9% of iPhone users don’t know what a soc is or what it does do you think that they bought the iPhone because they thought to themselves “I really need a good soc for doing X and Y”? No they just thought “iPhones are good let me get an iPhone”
But they are indeed right, you get a good and working product no matter what: no vendor ROMs, no checking if bands are compatible, no random luck with camera sensors and fingerprint scanners, … You basically just buy an iPhone and be sure that it works.
Well, at least it’s the budget line. It could be worse. It could be their flagship and only phone for the year. Cough, cough.
I think that Xiaomi should learn from apple making trailers, [iphone x trailer](https://youtu.be/mW6hFttt_KE) is in my opinion great.
Totally agree can’t wait to get my mits on the mix2 not that my mi5 pro is a slouch or anything.
Yes agree I agree, the real tragedy is Apple not writing an OS that’s can truly utilize the power of the A11 chip, it’s fast enough to be a fully fledged computer, yet gimped by their insistent need for IOS to be simple, if they just offered an IOS-PRO option or something similar Apple may once again generate my interest but perhaps that’s too innovative? Best wait for someone else to do it then rip it off as is apples M.O
Taking lysergic does not rule out having a squeaky clean image.
