Cartoon: The TikTok phone frenzy

Amber Chow, Staff Writer • February 6, 2025
Phones with TikTok pre-installed have been listed on websites for staggering prices ranging from $1,000-$10,000. With the recent TikTok ban, phones pre-installed with the app have become rare. Government restrictions have prevented people from downloading the app once deleted. People are now desperate to get their hands on the phones, however, the prices on the phones are too excessive. It feels like an overinflated marketing gimmick. It turns a simple device into a must-have for the TikTok obsessed. (Amber Chow)
