Gizchina:

Xiaomi is about to embark on a new journey in its software department with the
anticipated HyperOS. This operating system[1] is primed to make its debut on
the Xiaomi 14 series. The Xiaomi community is excited as some lucky Weibo
users have been granted an early peek at HyperOS. They’ve generously shared[2]
screenshots of the new user interface, giving us a glimpse of what’s to come.

Just blatant utter copies of iOS. Utterly shameless.

Nothing new there - Xiaomi has long been a knockoff of iOS: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2015/01/24/xiaomi-mi-4-review/ https://mashable.com/article/xiaomi-mi-8-iphone-x-clone

Xiaomi is Chinese, and good luck to Apple suing Xiaomi in China.

This thread tosses out various ideas, but I can't pin down the exact
reason. But the one cited below might be relevant.

Why doesn't Apple sue the Chinese companies like Huawei and Xiaomi for
copying their product designs?

Apple would have a chance of being effectively locked out of China's
market. This would be disastrous, removing a significant market for
Apple, and preventing it from selling products there henceforth.
