As of July 22, Twitter began the transition to Elon Musk’s super app dream “X”. With this change, first Twitter’s logo was changed from bird to X, then Android and iOS applications gradually started to bear the new name and logo.
While the sudden conversion from Twitter to X is already causing great controversy, some people are starting to turn it into a commercial opportunity. iPhone owners in the US put their iPhones with the non-X version of the app on sale for thousands of dollars.
Here are the “original Twitter iPhone” listings for sale on eBay:
iPhones, where the X remained as “Twitter” in the advertisements opened on eBay, one of the most popular second-hand trading platforms in the USA, were offered for sale at prices up to 7000 dollars. Some ads were opened by auction method rather than direct purchase.
Of course, those who buy this phone and want to keep the original Twitter will have to turn off the automatic update of the application. The most radical solution will be to not connect the devices to the internet. The original Twitter iPhones will become sort of collectibles.
Of course, it is not known at the moment whether there will be anyone who buys the phone. Considering that collectors love crazy crazy items in the US, we can expect at least one device to be sold.
