In your opinion, who pulls the reins of a mobile phone company, must necessarily use a smartphone owned by the brand? Before continuing to read the article, let's try to answer this question. If you were at random a billion dollar company and you wanted to make better products, you wouldn't try the best devices on the square to get some ideas? A big controversy is emerging in the last few hours since Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun was caught using an iPhone. But let's see the matter as it turned out since he was forced to remove the offending post on Weibo.
The CEO of Xiaomi Lei Jun was surprised to use an iPhone on Weibo: all advertising or simply curiosity?
In a post yesterday on Weibo, later deleted by Lei Jun himself, in which the CEO recommended books to read, the writing appeared "as an iPhone user". Many of you may not know that when using a new device on the Chinese social network it must be registered. In this case Xiaomi's number one used an Apple device to write and many users were "offended".
As you can see under the name of the CEO of Xaomi the writing appears iPhone. Now let's stop for a moment to understand the reasons why the ninety piece of our brand is using the competing device par excellence. First, as several users have claimed, too Shen Yiren (former CEO of Oppo), Li Nan (vice president of Meizu) and many other prominent figures from different brands have like device, also main, iPhone. Excluding the price factor, there is no doubt that Apple's smartphone is an excellent product in many ways. This is the first reason.
Secondly, why can't such a person use this device? He needs most of all see what are the points to improve on Xiaomi devices: and how to do it if not using a far more tested product than his? Pan Jiutang also spoke in this regard.
The historian analyst and collaborator of Xiaomi said that if the manager of a company did not admit to trying devices like those of Apple, or any other rival brand, it would be hypocritical, lack of jurisdiction but especially would not be able to evaluate its products, before those of the other brands. After expressing his, the hearts of the users calmed down. Let's not forget also that for a long time Xiaomi, in the western imagination, has been "the Chinese Apple".
A second hypothesis, perhaps the most plausible, is that Lei Jun has acted so simply for get some publicity to be talked about. We don't know and saying one thing rather than another makes no difference. What is important is to know what you think: what's wrong (if it really is) in using a rival smartphone?
