Earlier, OnePlus rescheduled the launch event of OnePlus 6T to October 29, a day ahead of its planned schedule. The company says the move was necessary as sticking to the original date would've meant the OnePlus 6T launch would be “overshadowed by Apple”, which is also hosting an event in New York on the same day. Apple is expected to introduce new iPad and Mac models.
