Elon Musk’s plan to get money from Twitter users continues at full speed after the disruptions. The company will charge users $7 per month for Twitter Blue and in return, they will receive perks such as verification badges and fewer ads. However, it seems that iPhone users will have to pay $11 per month for the same privileges.

Twitter to charge $11 per month for Twitter Blue on iPhone, $7 on website

According to the latest announcements, Twitter plans to charge $11 per month for its “Twitter Blue” subscription on the iPhone to compensate for the 30 percent cut that Apple takes from in-app purchases. The subscription will be priced at $7 per month on the web. It’s possible that the higher price point of the iPhone may allow Twitter to provide Apple with its 30 percent cut of in-app purchase proceeds without significantly impacting the company’s income.

This pricing difference may also encourage customers to subscribe on the web, allowing Twitter to avoid in-app purchase fees. However, without more information, it’s difficult to say for sure. Also, this isn’t a first for iPhone users. It’s important to note that while other companies like Spotify have charged higher prices on the iPhone in the past, this can lead to confusion for consumers who don’t understand why the prices are different on a device-to-device basis.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Apple does not have an issue with companies charging more for subscriptions in apps than on the web. However, without more information, it’s difficult to say for sure what the effects of this pricing difference will be. Twitter recently changed its pricing for its subscription service, “Twitter Blue,” following a dispute with Apple.

The disagreement began when Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized Apple’s App Store fees and claimed that Apple had “threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store.” However, Musk later withdrew his statement after meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook. Elon Musk and Tim Cook met at Apple Park, and according to Musk, they had a “good conversation” about a “misunderstanding” regarding Twitter’s potential removal from the App Store.

Twitter is planning to relaunch Twitter Blue on Friday. The subscriptions were paused after Musk included a verification checkmark with Twitter Blue, which allowed individuals with $8 to spend to impersonate celebrities and other high-profile individuals. Twitter Blue has not been available since November 11.

Twitter Blue is expected to be relaunched with a range of new features, including different badge colors for corporations, government accounts, and individuals. Additionally, there may be restrictions on changing usernames and limits on signups for newer accounts. This is intended to improve the overall user experience on the platform.
