Due to the intensifying tension between the companies, the demand for Apple iPhones with pre-installed Fortnite is on the rise on e-bay.

Latest Updates

The cost of these phones is something around $10,000 and they come with a pre-installed version of Fortnite. At the starting of this week, Fortnite was removed from both Google and Apple app stores

This happened because Epic Games introduced their payment platform which allowed them to collect direct payments from players. This didn’t settle well with both Google and Apple as it is against their policy.

Fortnite Removed From Apple Stores

Since the game is no longer available on the Apple store, players cannot download the game any longer. 

Some shrewd minds taking advantage of this opportunity is now selling Apple iPhones with a pre-installed version of Fortnite on eBay. These phones are available at $10,000 which is around Rs 7, 50,000 in India. Another user was found selling an iPhone 8 for $3000.

The developer has claimed that Apple has banned their accounts from ios and iMac development tools. This is why the developer is forced to seek legal help from the court so that they can stop Apple from terminating their accounts.

In response to this, Apple has said that they are willing to join forces with Epic once again, only if they follow their guidelines.
