From tomorrow, Monday, the Twitter platform is preparing to increase the prices of subscriptions for its paid service Blue Twitter On an app for Apple devices, which means the user is charged the share that Apple takes from payments.
It is assumed that the price will be raised to eleven dollars if the purchase is made through the application on “iPhone” and “iPad” devices, while the price will be reduced to eight dollars if the subscription is made through the website.
This step aims to reduce the impact of Apple’s deduction by up to thirty percent of each payment made within the applications.
Twitter initially launched Blue Twitter in early November, before pausing it as fake accounts spread. It was then scheduled to be released again on November 29, but was delayed.
Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion in November, listed several grievances with Apple in a series of tweets last month, including the 30% tax the iPhone maker charges developers Software vs. in-app purchases .
He then accused Apple of threatening to ban Twitter from its app store and also claimed that the iPhone maker had stopped advertising on the social media platform.
However, after a subsequent meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Musk tweeted that the misunderstanding surrounding Twitter’s removal from Apple’s App Store had been resolved.
Elon Musk revealed a week ago that Apple has resumed advertising on the Twitter platform, explaining that it is currently the largest advertiser on the platform.
Musk made these comments during a conversation on “Twitter Spaces”, while he did not explain in detail what happened with “Apple”, and spoke for more than two hours from his private plane during the chat, which received more than 90 thousand listeners. .
This comes as Musk previously criticized Apple, accusing the iPhone and Mac maker of primarily blocking advertising on Twitter and threatening to remove the app from its App Store. By targeting Apple, Musk risked a war with the world’s most valuable company and major advertisers at a time when other companies were pulling ads from Twitter.
