Those looking to get their hands on a fresh and powerful HTC One smartphone may have to wait a little while longer as component shortages are causing delays in available stock. According to HTC this was because certain component suppliers didn't keep up their end of the deal, instead prioritizing on other brands and clients. According to them it was because shipment forecasts for HTC haven't been very good and as such, said component suppliers lowered down HTC's status down a tier or two. The components that seem to be short include the camera components (a deal breaker for the HTC One's Ultra-pixel cameras) and the metal casings.
Pre-order customers may yet receive their HTC One, but other markets like retail sellers and other shops may have to wait a while longer. Available stock is estimated to arrive at these other markets around or after April. While reviews of the HTC One continue to be great, availability may kill whatever momentum gained from the positive response.
