Xiaomi Mi 11 is one of the most anticipated devices of 2021. Although the year isn’t born, the device is already confirmed to launch on the New Year Celebration week. Amidst a flurry of leaks, a leak now suggests that Xiaomi could follow the footsteps of Apple and remove in-box adapter.
Tipster Digital Chat Station has posted a leak on Weibo showcasing two box packaging. One of them is the iPhone which should belong to the recently launched iPhone 12 series. However, the other one has “Xiaomi 11” written on it.
This is a bit skeptical as the box doesn’t have the ‘Mi‘ prefix on it like the predecessors. Anyway, the tipster says that the box of Xiaomi’s 2021 flagship is as thin as the iPhone’s packaging. He also hints that the box could be void of an in-box adapter.
While replying to a user in the comments, he specifically says that there won’t be a charger in the box. Assuming we already know about the iPhone 12s, he should be talking about the Mi 11 here. If we recall, Xiaomi, along with giants like Samsung poked fun at Apple for removing the Charging Adapter from the box.

However, the latest reports hint that the former is already prepared to remove it from the box on its upcoming Galaxy S21. If today’s leak is true, Xiaomi would also join the bandwagon but let’s wait for the official news. In any case, this trend is a bit concerning as the Android manufacturers’ charging tech is way ahead of Apple’s counterpart.
And if they start excluding it from the box, people might have to pay them separately like iOS users. In the past, companies have followed Apple‘s trend ever so slightly despite mocking at them first. Some of them include a notch display trend, exclusion of earphones from the box, and more.
