Apple iPhones with Fortnite installed on them are for sale listed on eBay with price tags up to $ 10,000.
Earlier in August, Fortnite creator Epic Games beats Apple in removing the popular Battle Royale title from the App Store. But Apple has not decided to remove the app remotely from user devices, which means for anyone who has previously installed Fortnite on her iPhone still has access to the game.
Some of those users want to submit Fortnite’s removal from the App Store. An eBay search with the terms “iPhone Fortnite installed” or “Fortnite iPhone” lists hundreds of ads with abnormally high prices attached to them.
An iPhone X with the pre-installed game was announced with a asking price of $ 10,000. That seems to be on the high end, as others range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand.
Business Insider reported on the ads earlier today.
Fortnite, of course, is a free to play game that costs nothing. More than that, it’s a cross-platform title that’s still available on many other operating systems (in addition to Apple products that already had the game).
In other words, Fortnite Players would be able to get their fix without having to describe thousands for a new iPhone.
Epic Games just did not lure Apple away Fortnite. It drew a similar tactic on Google, and the game was also yanked from the Google Play Store. Epic Games is protesting the 15% to 30% commission that Apple and Google are accepting in in-app purchases, and has filed two thousand lawsuits claiming that the tech giants are competing against each other.
As a result, ads appear for it Fortnite-lated Android devices with unforgettable prices. There are far fewer Androids involved Fortnite on eBay, however, there are iPhones.
