Why the U.S. Is Forcing TikTok to Be Sold or Banned
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Apple announces event on May 7
  • Apple will host an event on May 7, where the long-awaited revamped versions of the iPad Pro and iPad Air are expected to be revealed.

  • These new models would signify Apple's first major overhaul of this product line since 2018, as iPad sales have decreased, prompting the company to introduce new products to stimulate demand.

  • In the first quarter, iPad sales dropped by 25% to $7.02 billion, alongside a slowdown in iPhone sales.

  • The event is scheduled to commence at 7 a.m. PT, corresponding to 2 p.m. GMT, and Apple is also preparing for its Worldwide Developers Conference from June 10 to June 14.
