Used iPhones with Fortnite Soared Above $ 10,000

Used iPhones with Fortnite Soared Above $ 10,000

The multiplayer game Fortnite is very popular around the world. Since its removal from the App Store and Google Play, the game has become even more relevant, especially for users of Apple products. A few days ago, older iPads with Fortnite installed at grossly inflated prices began to appear on eBay. The trend continued, and now there are many offers on the marketplace for the sale of used iPhones with the game at a very high price.

As a reminder, Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their digital content stores last week. The reason for this decision is that the game developer Epic Games has added a new payment method to Fortnite that allows players to make purchases without paying a store service fee.

Although the game is not currently available for download from the aforementioned app stores, it continues to function normally on devices where it has been installed previously. That is why a large number of ads have appeared on the Web, the authors of which offer to buy used iPhones and iPads with Fortnite installed at a greatly inflated price. In some cases, the price of a smartphone with a game exceeds $ 10,000, which is much more than the cost of the same new model.

While enterprising iPhone and iPad owners are trying to cash in on the sale of their devices, Epic Games is suing Apple and Google over the removal of Fortnite from the official app stores. Recently, it became known that Apple intends to close Epic Games access to application development tools for iOS and macOS.
