iPhone 17 Pro colors inspiration came from Tom & Jerry

Xiaomi still continues with their dog-water marketing even after getting sued by Apple in India.

Xiaomi doesn't have anything else to advertise? Because if Apple started comparing their iPhones with Xiaomi phones, we all know how well it will go.

BREAKING: Spotify Issues DMCA Notice to Revanced over Unlock Premium Patch

Spotify claims that the patch is a derivative of their copyrighted works & it circumvents Spotify’s technological protection measures under DMCA 1201(a) as the patch enables access to copyrighted content by bypassing encryption, transfer key protocols & premium feature restrictions (eg. skipping).

But, acc. to Revanced, the patch does not copy Spotify’s code. The app requires attestation to prevent it from becoming unusable if modified. Also, the patch neither enable downloads nor give access to unavailable songs on free spotify.

However, if attestation bypass alone constitutes a DMCA 1201 violation, then not only premium but also the “make the app work when patched” functionality could be affected.

Thus, Revanced is seeking legal expertise to understand their position & risks until their deadline of 1 business day. You may also help them if you have copyright/DMCA knowledge. The DMCA Notice is attached here.

Xiaomi No Longer Cares About India, Shifts Focus to Europe

Xiaomi HQ (China) has decided that India market is not their focus anymore & they will instead focus on European & other South Asian markets.

In 2018, India was Xiaomi’s 2nd largest market, contributing 45% of its total global sales. But now, India no longer ranks among Xiaomi’s top 5 markets across the 100+ countries it operates in, with its contribution to total sales falling to a single-digit percentage in 2025.

"India-specific product development has ceased (Xiaomi 15 Civi is cancelled for India), with a focus only on global products. Xiaomi India's plans to launch its expensive foldable phones, are delayed by the group. Xiaomi global stopped plans to launch new categories like washing machines and ACs in India. Testing for these products, including refrigerators, had already been completed, and the company was in talks for their introduction,” the executive said.
