Twitter Blue: Subscription will be more expensive for iPhone users

Chirping plans to charge 11 dollars per month for your “Twitter Blue” subscription on the iPhone, unlike the 7 which will cost for the rest of users. The explanation for the increase has to do with the 30% getting Apple from in-app purchases.

The higher price of the iPhone could allow Twitter to provide Apple with 30 percent of the profits from in-app purchases without significantly impacting revenues. corporate income.

Although there is still not enough information to know how it will be implemented, this could lead users to contract directly via the web, to avoid the surcharge.

Also, this isn’t the first time iPhone users have had to pay more. It’s important to note that while other companies like Spotify have charged higher prices on iPhones in the past, this one it can be confusing for consumers who don’t understand why prices are different for different devices.

It’s worth mentioning that Apple has no problem with companies charging more for in-app subscriptions than they do on the web. However, without more information, it’s hard to say for sure what the effects of this price difference will be.

Twitter recently changed the price of its subscription service, “Blue Twitter” after a dispute with Apple.

The disagreement began when Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized Apple’s app store fees, claiming that Apple had “threatened to withhold Twitter from its app store.”

However, Musk later retracted his statement after meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook. Elon Musk and Tim Cook met at Apple Park and, according to Musk, had a ‘good conversation’ about a ‘misunderstanding’ about the possible removal of Twitter from the App Store.

Twitter Blue and content moderation

Twitter plans to relaunch Twitter Blue this Friday. Subscriptions were halted after Musk included a Twitter Blue checkmark, which allowed people with $8 to spend impersonating celebrities and other high-profile people. Twitter Blue has been unavailable since November 11th.

Twitter Blue is expected to be relaunched with a number of new features, including different badge colors for businesses, government accounts, and individuals. Also, there may be restrictions on changing usernames and limits on registrations for the most recent accounts.

This is intended to improve the user’s overall experience on the platform.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is learning that running a global platform with nearly 240 million daily active users requires more than good algorithms and often requires flawed solutions to difficult situations, difficult decisions that must ultimately be made by a human being and that will surely upset someone.

One of the most controversial cases was that of Anglin, the founder of a notorious neo-Nazi website, who was reinstated a week ago. He is one of many previously banned users who benefited from an amnesty granted by the new owner of Twitter.

The next day, Musk suspended Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, after he posted an image of a swastika fused with the Star of David.

“All right”Anglin tweeted on Friday. “Whatever the rules are, people will follow them. We just need to know what the rules are.”

Ask Moss. Since the richest man in the world paid $44,000 million for Twitterthe platform is struggling to define its rules for disinformation and hate speech, has issued conflicting statements, and has failed to fully address what researchers believe is a worrying increase in hate speech.

The “chief tweeter” could learn that running a global platform with nearly 240 million daily active users requires more than good algorithms and often requires imperfect solutions to difficult situations, difficult decisions that must ultimately be made. human being and that will surely upset someone.

Musk, a self-described free speech absolutist, has said he wants to make Twitter a global digital public square, but also said he won’t make major decisions about content or restoring banned accounts before creating a ‘advice on content moderation’‘ with different points of view.
