Donald Trump just saved the launch of TikTokby signing a decree postponing for 75 days the entry into force of the law banning the platform in the United States. The social network must now break away from ByteDance, accused of espionage, and find a buyer. Apple, for its part, still sees itself obliged tono longer offer TikTok on the App Storeto respect the decision of the American Congress. Several people saw this as a golden opportunity to make some money by reselling…smartphones with TikTok installed on them.
iPhones with TikTok sold for $50,000 on eBay
«Apple is required to comply with the laws in force in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In accordance with the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, applications developed by ByteDance Ltd. and its subsidiaries – including TikTok, CapCut, Lemon8 and others – will no longer be available for download or update on the App Store for users in the United States starting January 19, 2025», Indicates Apple in its press release.
Users who already have TikTok on their iPhone can still use the app. Others have no choice but to wait for TikTok to return to the App Store. Another much more expensive solution: go for one of the iPhones with the social network already installedsold at incredible prices on the Internet.
On eBay we can see that someone has spent no less than $50,000 to get an iPhone 16 Pro Max with TikTok.Another buyer fell for the same model at $15,000 to be able to use TikTok. We even find an iPhone 15 Pro Max with the social network installed sold for $50,000.
There are still hundreds of offers of this type on the platform,ofthe iPhone 14 Pro Max with TikTok at $50,000passing throughthe iPhone 12 Pro Max at $30,000. A delusion of grandeur which proves to what extent some users are dependent on TikTok. Obviously, the most patient Americans would do better to wait for the platform to return to the App Store when it has found a buyer.
