In a recent interview with Beijing News, Xiaomi Lei Jun's chief executive said that "iPhone is still the best smartphone on the planet".
Jun, who loves to imitate Steve Jobs in the ways and in the costumes expressed his opinions talking to the interviewer, stating that Xiaomi still has much to learn and at the same time plenty of room to grow, just think that in August his products they have exceeded those of apple on Chinese soil in terms of sales.
It should be remembered, however, that although many people call it Chinese Apple, Xiaomi is more like Amazon in terms of selling products and services.
Jun has never hidden his "passion" for Apple from which he took many ideas, if not in the business model, certainly in the image and products.
