While OnePlus is right on schedule with the India launch of the OnePlus 2, the company is facing delays in North America due to "production schedules". While US and Canada users will still be able to claim their invites and make their purchase from Tuesday onwards, actual shipments of smartphones have been delayed, and will only commence 2-3 weeks after shipments to Europe. The company in its forum post about the delay said, "We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Although some fans may be disappointed to hear this news, we would rather be transparent about the situation."Get your daily dose of tech news, reviews, and insights, in under 80 characters on Gadgets 360 Turbo.
