Lei Jun: Xiaomi’s car sales exceed 800,000; Apple veteran resigns, reportedly dissatisfied with the aggressive AppStore revenue increase plan; South Korea launches its first human-AI romance series | Geek Early Knowledge

On September 7, 2026, Xiaomi's cumulative deliveries of cars exceeded 800,000 units. Lei Jun announced that this figure had surpassed 800,000, and expressed gratitude for user support. Its two pure-electric models, SU7 and YU7, became instant hits upon launch, and the upcoming new models are highly anticipated. Industry analysts point out that Xiaomi achieved this delivery target in just about 30 months, without introducing low-cost models, and all products available were focused on the mainstream high-end range of 200,000 to 400,000 yuan, with average unit prices higher than the industry average. As a benchmark for domestic pure-electric sedans, SU7 changed the previous market structure of affordable sedans in the 200,000 to 300,000 yuan range, which was dominated by joint-venture brands. This achievement is due to Xiaomi’s integration of its established supply chain advantages from consumer electronics with new energy vehicle technology, and its transformation of automotive companies' user operations and quality control systems using internet concepts.
