For a long time, privacy concerns surrounding TikTok had been making headlines. After investigations in the US, TikTok was banned in the country, but when Trump came to power, the ban on TikTok was postponed. Amid this confusion, TikTok was removed from the Apple and Google app stores, making it unavailable for download. Now, phones with TikTok pre-installed are being sold on eBay. Here are the details.
Phones with TikTok and CapCut Installed Are Selling for Nearly 5 Million Dollars
According to reports, since the decisions regarding TikTok have not yet been finalized, users are unable to download the app onto their devices. This has created an opportunity for sellers on eBay, opening up a new market. Sellers who are offering phones with TikTok pre-installed are looking for buyers willing to pay thousands of dollars.

In online marketplaces in the US, thousands of phones with TikTok pre-installed are being sold. The lowest price for these devices is listed at $400, while the highest sale price has reached $4,970,400. The high price is due to the inclusion of both TikTok and CapCut apps pre-installed on the device.
Some sellers are offering their devices for auction, starting at $1 million, waiting for buyers. While no bids have yet been placed for such high prices, there has been significant interest in auctions with starting bids ranging from $50 to $500.
Additionally, there is intense interest in an iPhone with TikTok installed, with a price tag of $10,000. Since the decision is not yet finalized, no updates are being rolled out for the app, and if the app is deleted, users won’t be able to reinstall it. Therefore, potential buyers need to be cautious.
