Good to see that the Chinese show their patriotism by buying products made there.

Xiaomi is outselling Apple. Apple is not making a profit there per unit sold. They charge their US and European dupes more to make up for this

You convinced me. Apple is a loser and going to be out of business by the end of the year. From now on, it’ll be Xiaomi products for me.

Sheesh. Can’t you just stay off the Apple threads?

More lies, Dennis? Of course Apple is making a profit in China and Xiaomi is not making much of a profit in China. . . The only months in which Xiaomi outsold Apple is August/September when they released their new models mimicking the upcoming Apple iPhones. . . something they have done for the last two years.
