There is no benefit which is why he failed to give any.


If you do business together in a country, you have to follow the laws of that country. Xiaomi does no "official" business here and there is nothing for apple to sue.


Not everyone like osx


Having Apple hardware doesn't mean that you need to run OS X.


They've processed 55 million transactions over the years and probably get a bit more support.
