A humorous situation has developed in the mobile device market. Immediately after the announcement of the iPhone 12, Xiaomi mocked the number one brand. By the way, this can be recorded in the Guinness World Records – Xiaomi is the first competitor company to point out the imperfections of Apple’s products.
Xiaomi VS Apple: The Core of the Issue
The new iPhone 12 smartphones lack headphones and a powerful charger in the package. On one hand, this is indeed a shortcoming. But there are also some advantages:
- Absence of headphones. Considering that this is still Apple, not Xiaomi, the price of headphones will be at least $50. If buyers track all their purchases and try to remember how often they took headphones out of the box and used them, they will be surprised. Approximately 5% of buyers use headphones. Most audiophiles already have more convenient headphones. Therefore, this is a very controversial issue – should you pay for a device that will not be used?
- Weak power supply. Fast charging of a smartphone is great. But manufacturers rushing for Watts forget to tell users that powerful power supplies kill the battery. Ask any electrician what happens to a battery if it is charged with increased current daily. It’s clear that the Apple smartphone is designed for a year of use. But some buyers dream of longer operation. In their silly jokes, Xiaomi VS Apple, the Chinese would do better to mention build quality and properly functioning software.
The Chinese brand Xiaomi resembles a small dog barking at a huge elephant trying to bite it. Interestingly, Xiaomi is not in a position to tell anyone anything right now. After the fiasco with the Note 9 series phones, buyers are still in shock. The manufacturer knew about the problem, but tried to hide it. This is unacceptable towards customers. Apple’s corporation would definitely not allow this.
