TL;DR
- OnePlus embarrassed itself on Twitter not too long ago.
- It made a remark to MKBHD concerning the YouTuber’s annual smartphone awards.
- OnePlus’ tweet originated from an iPhone.
Yearly, YouTuber MKBHD (aka Marques Brownlee) publishes his awards for the perfect smartphones of the yr. This yr, OnePlus gained an award — though not the one it seemingly hoped for. It gained the “Bust of the Yr” award for the OnePlus 10T, which Brownlee stated has a “fairly huge delta between expectations and potentialities versus precise outcomes.”
OnePlus’ social media crew tried to grab this chance by tweeting at MKBHD. The tweet first requested the way to decide up the award, after which stated it should “show you improper” in 2023 with the upcoming OnePlus 11.
At first, MKBHD responded kindly with a easy “respect” and a suggestion to DM the corporate so he may, presumably, get the trophy despatched out. Nonetheless, not lengthy after, Brownlee tweeted a screenshot displaying that OnePlus’ unique tweet got here from an iPhone.
As time went on, other Twitter users chimed in with their very own screenshots. OnePlus’ Twitter account has not responded to the thread since.
Both manner, OnePlus got down to be cool with Marques Brownlee and ended up wanting fairly silly.
