Xiaomi is not following Apple’s business model any more
 

We want to be more like Costco

After years of analysts claiming that Xiaomi is the Chinese Apple, the outfit has come out and said that its business model is not a direct copy of Jobs’ Mob after all.

Analysts thought that since it made rather nice looking smartphones and was based around a “charismatic leadership” it must be trying to copy Apple. After all everyone wants to be a profiting cargo-cult.
