After openly mocking Apple for omitting the necessary charger from the case of the new iPhone 12 line, the Xiaomi CEO confirmed that the company will also discard the charger for the next Mi 11 smartphone.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun confirmed on the Chinese social media site Weibo and was first seen by The Verge, that the electronics company would be discarding the power block in Mi 11, citing environmental concerns. Jun goes on to say that users already have surplus chargers and that the charger would be “canceled” for the Mi 11 device.

It comes just a few weeks after Xiaomi ridiculed Apple for the same act. Shortly after Apple launched the iPhone 12 line, Xiaomi tweeted that it “left nothing out of the box” in relation to its own Mi 10T.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 will be announced at a press event on Monday, December 28th.
