Other Applications Charging More on iPhone

Twitter’s new pricing is not a surprise. The cut Apple takes from in-app purchases has also compelled other companies, such as Spotify, to raise their prices.

Still, Apple takes no issue with companies charging more for in-app subscriptions than on the web.

The Story Behind the Price Change

Twitter and Apple altered Twitter Blue prices after a brief dispute. Musk blasted Apple’s App Store prices last week and claim that Apple threatened to ban Twitter from its App Store. However, after meeting with Tim Cook, Musk recanted.

Apple Park hosted Musk-Cook. Musk said they had a “nice talk” and that there was a “misunderstanding” regarding Twitter being removed from the App Store.

Twitter Blue returns Friday. After Musk verified Twitter Blue, anyone with $8 could claim to be a firm, celebrity, or another high-profile individual. Twitter Blue memberships ended. Twitter Blue has been unavailable since November 11.

Twitter Blue’s relaunch will likely include badge colors for corporations, government accounts, and individuals and constraints on username changes and account creation.
