Xiaomi’s MIUI offered a Control Center with quick toggles that somewhat resembles Apple’s Control Center on iOS and the new HyperOS will also offer a similar interface. The brightness and volume sliders, as well as the Now Playing widget, look similar to iOS 17, with a slight change in layout. Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles are located at the top, while the bottom half of the screen houses several quick settings toggles.
The home screen on HyperOS features two square-shaped widgets that show the time and weather and also the app’s name at the bottom – another design element that appears to be inspired by Apple’s operating system.
