Chinese electronics company Xiaomi steps out of Apple's shadow in a big way with a surprising first.
For over six years, Apple has dominated Android devices in the amount of time users spend in apps. But Xiaomi (often referred to as the "Apple of China") has blown past the competition to claim the top spot. According to a study by mobile analytics firm , Xiaomi users spent 7% more time in apps than iPhone users. Samsung and HTC trailed Apple and Xiaomi further, with 14% and 27% less time spent than iPhone users, respectively.
