Canalys: Xiaomi overtakes Apple as the world’s top wearable vendor

The research firm says Xiaomi pulled it with a more mature ecosystem, while Apple’s wearable strategy has grown stale.

Xiaomi has upgraded its Mi Band and Redmi Watch series with refreshed designs and advanced data capabilities, bringing comprehensive features down the price segments, boosting its value proposition. The Redmi Band 5 played a key role, but Canalys says Xiaomi’s broader momentum comes from its HyperOS push, connecting phones, wearables, and home gear. He began covering Apple news in Brazilian media in 2012 and later broadened his focus to the wider tech industry, hosting a daily podcast for seven years.
