admin Apple has denied a statement the company had expressed interest in buying the app TikTok, a report states.
Microsoft is currently negotiating a deal to buy the popular short-video app, with a 45-day deadline imposed by President Donald Trump’s administration
The possibility of a deal with TikTok came from an Axios report, which cited sources outside of Apple. The report recommended that the iPhone giant may have shown interest in the ByteDance-owned app.
“Multiple sources tell me that Apple has expressed interest, albeit no sources inside of Apple, and that at least one other strategic has expressed interest,” the report stated.
It was written by Dan Primack, editor of Axios business, who later tweeted Apple struck down the allegations.
Primack tweeted, “State of play: Apple spokesperson tells Axios that there are no discussions about buying TikTok and the company isn’t interested.”
