Apple has expressed strong interest in acquiring TikTok

At present, Microsoft has publicly announced that it is negotiating with ByteDance, hoping to acquire the ownership of TikTok in the US and Canada.

The statement given by US President Trump is that Bytedance must complete the sale before September 15, and will be blocked by the United States if the acquisition is not completed by that time.

So the current situation is a very passive moment for Bytedance. After all, it is now a buyer’s market and Microsoft may have more bargaining power.

What’s interesting is that now it seems that more technology giants are showing a strong interest in acquiring the Tiktok app, and even Google and Facebook want to acquire the ownership of the Tiktok app.

The news obtained by media from multiple sources shows that Apple has a strong interest in acquiring Tiktok, but there is no internal information to prove this.

According to the news, Apple wants to acquire Tiktok with multiple considerations, including expanding consumer business and as a new strategy, and so on.

But the report also emphasized that all the news currently obtained is not from Apple’s internal, so at least it is not clear whether the above-mentioned news is true.

Whether Apple has contacted with Bytedance is temporarily unclear. For Bytedance, if the number of potential buyers increases, it will help increase the bargaining power.

Fox Business reported that the search giant Google and the social network giant Facebook also wanted to acquire TikTok, but note that this is the past and not the present.

It is easy to understand that Google wants to acquire Tiktok because Google has tried to attack the social network market for many years, but Google has never succeeded.

However, it is not clear for now whether Google and Facebook are in contact with ByteDance on the acquisition issue, but it may not be too smooth for Microsoft to acquire TikTok.
