Earlier this month OnePlus sent invites for the launch of OnePlus 6T globally including India that was scheduled for October 30. Now the company announces that the event has been rescheduled to October 29. It starts at the same time in New York City now a day earlier. The reason for changing the OnePlus 6T event is because of Apple‘s iPad and Mac event that is scheduled for the same date and time. As per the company, they felt that Apple would overshadow OnePlus and thus decided to do this after hours of discussions.
CEO Pete Lau said on the OnePlus forum, “For hours, we talked to our press contacts to gain insight into how Apple’s announcement could affect the launch of the OnePlus 6T. We received considered honest and thoughtful feedback. They showed us that if we chose to stick to our original timeline, launching the OnePlus 6T on October 30, we would be overshadowed by Apple.”
