Apple and Samsung sued Xiaomi
Apple and Samsung have issued separate legal notices to Xiaomi for making disparaging comparisons between its own phones and those of its bigger rivals in advertisements in India.
Xiaomi came out with full-page print advertisements in March and April, directly targeting Apple's then latest smartphone model iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro with its cheap tablets and flagship and questioned if the iPhone was really the best.
Xiaomi adopted a similar strategy against Samsung on social media, directly hitting Galaxy A series. Not only smartphones, Xiaomi targeted Samsung’s LED televisions (TVs) as well in the similar manner. Subsequently, both Apple and Samsung served cease-and- desist notices to the Chinese company
As per IDC, Apple and Samsung command around 95% share of the smartphone market above 500$ while Xiaomi has less than 1%.
