China is an economic superpower that continues to grow at an incredible rate, and consumer electronics firm Xiaomi perfectly encapsulates this climate. But while often dubbed the "Apple of China," it's not just its monumental rise to prominence that has resulted in this label, but also the notion that it copies many of the Cupertino's designs with many of its own products.

Whenever a new piece of iOS software is launched, some devices inevitably get left behind, and many, such as the iPhone 4s and iPad 2 on iOS 8, are subjected to a decidedly limited experience compared with the newer models on the market. It was always somewhat inevitable that these antiquated devices would struggle to cope with the rigors of the new, feature-rich update, and so it has proved, but Apple did promise that those who've stuck by their iPhone 4s or iPad 2 would see improvements with its iOS 8.1.1 download.
