I had previously mentioned it with regard to Samsung and now I have to do the same with regard to Xiaomi, just because this site does not do its homework before publishing articles.

And off course all Apple fans automatically cry copycat and alike!

 

This is the full statement from Xiaomi:

“As for the in-box charger removal, the announcement is for Mainland China market. Xiaomi will be offering two versions, one with smartphone only, and the other with the smartphone and a separate 55W GaN charger as a bundle, both at the same price.”

 

It is not about shipping chargers at extra cost and ripping customers as Apple does.

No, Xiaomi is not doing it like Apple. It is following Samsung who did it first by omitting headphones in the packages (Apple copied actually Samsung and went one step further) and offering everyone who wanted it the headphones at no extra cost.

Sorry Apple fans: Apple has not set a trend, it just followed (in your language copied) Samsung but in a negative way. Good that Xiaomi is following Samsung in a positive way.

Thumbs up Xiaomi and Samsung, thumbs down Apple!

So big question here. In Bootcamp / Windows 10 able to run on the M1? Bootcamp is essential to my MacBook configuration.

if not Bootcamp at least Parallels?  

If you opted for the M1 variant, you would have to go without Windows: no Bootcamp and no Parallels.

Samsung is going to inevitably make the same "for the environment" claim.  

If they did, it would be credible. Before Apple Samsung removed the headphones from the Note 20 series "for the environment", while shipping free of charge headphones to any customer who asks for it, i.e. no rip-off of customers.

Removing headphones from the box and then shipping them anyway is probably more harmful to the environment 

I agree, but I expect most customers not to ask for it. I would not have, for instance.
And by shipping it for free, it does not look like a rip-off. So the environment aspect is at least a bit credible.

@appleinsider: your heading states:
"Samsung considering copying Apple's AC charger removal despite mocking ads"

I know that this site is very Aple-centric, but you should report correctly:
- Samsung removed the headphones from the package of Note 20 series first
- Apple COPIED Samsung and went one step further by removing the charger, too
- By removing the charger Samsung would just follow itself

One important difference:
- Samsung offers all Note 20 buyers a free of charge headphone if they wanted it.
- This means unlike Apple Samsung is not ripping off their customers
