Apple, Xiaomi and bug-fixing

For Chinese phone brands … Expect lots of bugs. …

Apple's reputation for fixing bugs is not great.

Maybe Xiaomi will be better prepared to fix bugs quickly …

"Apple built a new business model with top quality in a closed ecosystem. Xiaomi is aiming for quality (and volumes) via user feedback"​

– Xiaomi, China's 'Apple-like' smartphone maker, to take on Samsung & Micromax in India - Economic Times (2014-07-27)

Different MIUI versions explained: Developer/Stable/Ported/Local ROMs

IMHO the iPhone is crap because it's based on a crappy OS which seriously limits the hardware. But putting the iOS limitations aside, the hardware runs well.

For my friends that use China phones all complain about how ****** the phones are.

The English words maybe and prepared, well, maybe I don't have to explain, but prepared doesn't imply that they are capable of doing it. Or actually caring about it. In China they give a duck about their customers. So does Apple, but their phones largely work.
