Xiaomi has registered the mios.cn domain, here comes MIOS

There have been rumors about Xiaomi's own operating system, MIOS, for a long time. At the beginning of the year, some images and screenshots of the system update also surfaced, but they turned out to be FAKE. Until now, there was no mention of it, nothing was leaked, but today official progress was made. mios.cn domain is registered with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China.

Chinese news portals started to report that Xiaomi has registered the mios.cn domain and thus started the implementation of Xiaomi's own operating system. That is, slowly publishing it once it has its own domain. The domain was registered back in 2007, with Xiaomi's name next to it, with the registrar email address dns-admin@xiaomi.com.

There is currently nothing behind the domain, not even an HTTPS certificate, so it must have been very recent. According to Chinese news reports, Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. submitted the mios.cn website domain name to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on November 11, 2022. The registration was finalized today, so they can now put services behind it.

As MIOS, developed by Xiaomi, is for the time being only china, so only the Chinese domain was an option, and the global rollout is complicated by the fact that the mios.com domain is already taken. It was registered by an automation company in 1996.

MIOS has not yet been released in any form, but rumours in the East suggest that it will be used as the system for Xiaomi cars. Although the allegedly leaked pictures are of phones, so it's possible that it will be a unified service. Phones, tablets, watches, cars and other IoT devices will all use it at the Chinese giant. Some Eastern bloggers have also reported that MIOS will be AOSP compatible, so it's possible that it will be Android-based, or at least run apps. MIUI is finally becoming what it was originally envisioned to be, with a complete overhaul of Android, not just an interface. It's much more than that, it's a separate operating system!
