Egentlig havde datoen været fastlagt, og blev offentliggjort for et par uger siden: Lanceringen af den næste store ting fra smartphonebrandet OnePlus.
Det skulle ske den 30. oktober, med afsløringen af den nye OnePlus 6T. "Men så skete dette..."
Det globale lanceringsevent, er blevet fremskyndt med en dag - og kommer dermed til at finde sted den 29. oktober.
I et blogpost på OnePlus' community-forum, forklarer virksomheden, at den tidligere lancering bunder i, at Apple har annonceret en stor global event den 30. oktober.
"A lot has changed in the past 24 hours. When we announced the launch of the OnePlus 6T on October 8, we were convinced our timing would allow us to maximize the amount of people we could reach with our message. That changed when Apple announced they would be hosting their own event on October 30. We know the entire industry and all media will be holding their breath. So, imagine how we felt when we learned the date of their latest event. One minute, we were preparing for our greatest and most exciting launch event yet. The next, we were posed with a difficult question: “What do we do now?”
In any pursuit, you can only play the cards you are dealt. We were dealt a pretty bad hand. Our challenge was to find a way to make the most of a bad situation. For months on end, hundreds of people have poured their hearts and souls into creating our best product to date. Our goal is to make sure it gets the time and attention it deserves." - Lyder det på siden.
Refunderer billetter og hjælper med ekstraomkostninger for gæster
Netop fordi OnePlus i stor stil, lader deres brugere deltage i den slags events, er det et hårdt slag for dem. Men for ikke at lade deres fans hænge med flybilletter og hotelbookninger, til en nu forkert dag, fortæller de, at de afholder alle udgifter for gæster med en gyldig invitation. Det gælder både for ombookning af fly og hoteller - eller refundering af billetpriser, hvis man ikke har mulighed for at deltage, på grund af den nye dato.
Det er på sin vis på sin plads, men ikke nødvendigvist forventeligt - og det viser bare, hvor meget OnePlus går op i deres store community af brugere.
