How To Play Fortnite on iPhone after Apple Ban

Apple banned Fortnite from the App Store a few weeks back. Epic flouted Apple Store policies of in-app purchases which resulted in the ban. Apple users can no longer download Fortnite. This battle between Epic Games and Apple took the eSports community by storm.  At the moment, there is no news when Apple will let back Fortnite back on the Store.

This move has left many Apple users disheartened and desperate. Some opted to buy iPhones from eBay with Fortnite installed on them. However, this avenue comes with its share of risks. There are better ways to play Fortnite on Apple devices. We thank Macworld for listing it out for all those players affected by the Apple ban.
