And you thought Samsung's TouchWiz was bad.

Over the weekend, China's biggest smartphone maker, Xiaomi, released the latest version of its customized version of Android — the MIUI 6.

MIUI 6 has a new design that bears a striking resemblance to iOS 7. This isn't the first time Xiaomi has dipped into the well of Apple-inspired design; from the way its CEO dresses, to the name of products (the Mi 4, the Mi Pad, its Mi Cloud service) to the way the company markets its products, Xiaomi clearly takes inspiration and design cues from Apple, Steve Jobs and Jonny Ive.

Heck, as John Gruber discovered, Xiaomi went as far as to steal Apple's Aperture icon to use on its own product page for the Mi 3.

Apple clones aren't a new phenomenon, especially in China. What makes Xiaomi more unique is that the company is selling its own brand — even if that brand is heavily influenced by Apple — and building its own rabid fan base around its products.

The company has also made influential hires. Hugo Barra left his role as VP in Google's Android division to take a job at Xiaomi global. Xiaomi has aspirations to bring its phones and products to markets outside China, Singapore and India.

It's rare to see a company with such broad aspirations of success so brazenly copy a competitor such as Apple. Of course, it helps that in IP laws in China and India are virtually non-existent.

Still, even looking at Xiaomi's past actions and designs, the extent of borrowing — no, stealing — from iOS 7 and the upcoming iOS 8 is rather unbelievable. True, nothing is original and everything is a remix, but there is still a big difference between taking an overall idea (like a grid of square application icons or pull-down notifications) and nearly pixel-for-pixel copies.

Looking through screenshots and reviews on the MIUI forum, many Mashable employees had a hard time distinguishing between an Apple design and the MIUI design; most assumed the MIUI 6 screenshot was something from an official Apple app or from the upcoming iOS 8.

Barra has claimed that Xiaomi doesn't copy from Apple. Just last month, Barra told The Next Web that "if anything ... Apple copied some stuff" from MIUI, not the other way around.

Right.

MIUI 6 is available as a ROM for a variety of Android phones, which means that even if you live in a country without access to Xiaomi products — like the United States — you can try out the Android skin for yourself.
