When the MIUI 9 was announced back in 2017, Xiaomi highlighted that even the old devices such as Mi 2 and Mi 2S will arrive with the MIUI 9 global stable update. But it looks like there have been changes in the same and this could be due to the presence of many devices in the company's portfolio in recent years.
Lately, Xiaomi announced that it will drop the MIUI development for some devices including the Redmi Note 3, Mi 5, Mi 4, Mi 4C and Mi 4S. Now, it looks like the company has dropped the support for the Mi Max and Mi Max Prime as well.
