Imitation is not always the best form of flattery. 。
SEE ALSO:Xiaomi's MacBook Air clone is called, wait for it, Mi Notebook Air 。For Xiaomi, avoiding copycat accusations is hard and it is not called "Apple of China" for nothing. Its products in the past have been called out for ripping off the iPhone's design and icons as well as user interface elements that closely resemble those in iOS. 。
So much so that when Apple’s design chief Jony Ive was once asked to describe Xiaomi’s efforts, he didn’t hesitate from using the words “theft” and “lazy.” Its latest notebook, called Mi Notebook Air, does not just sound like the MacBook Air but looks like one too. 。
The company has denied such accusations in the past and insisted that its products are different from those of its rivals. But it is in hot waters yet again. 。
Thanks for signing up!。
Celebrity Swiss designer and Jawbone's chief creative officer, Yves Behar, is now accusing Xiaomi of copying his company’s design for one of its speakers. Responding to a designer’s claim about Xiaomi's Bluetooth speaker looking very similar to Jawbone’s offering, Behar tweeted, "Sad for you, Xiaomi, ripping off the Jawbone Mini Jambox. Sad.”

The gadget in question is Xiaomi's Mi Square Box Bluetooth Speaker. It was unveiled in 2015 and currently sells in China at roughly $25. The Mi Square Box has a unibody aluminum enclosure with a grille design. It indeed looks remarkably similar to Jawbone’s Mini Jambox, though the positioning of buttons is noticeably different. The bone of contention is the grille's designer pattern that sets it apart from regular Bluetooth speakers. The Jawbone Mini Jambox was launched in 2013 at $180, but now sells at roughly $60 on several shopping websites. 。
The accusation comes at a time when Xiaomi is all ready to enter the United States in a more meaningful way. Earlier this year, the Chinese company launched a few of its accessories like the Mi Band fitness tracker and its range of affordable headphone. The company is betting on incubating a constellation of startups to develop what it calls the Mi Ecosystem. These startups manufacture everything from a smart folding bicycle to rice cookers, which Xiaomi hopes would establish itself as a global electronic appliances company.。
