The new owner of Twitter, Musk, has been among the indispensable names of the agenda for about a year. Finally, Elon Musk managed to be on the agenda due to the tension between him and Apple. According to the latest news, Twitter Blue, which has a blue approval badge, will not be able to avoid Apple’s tax.
Blue subscription will be $11 on iOS devices
The paid release of the verified account badge has led to impersonation of many prominent companies and advertising companies to stop their advertisements on the platform. Apple was one of the companies that stopped its ads with the sharing of Elon Musk. However, Musk also criticized Apple’s app store, the App Store.
Apple takes a 30 percent commission on sales from the App Store. Therefore, the Twitter Blue subscription, which is expected to be in use soon, will have a different price. The subscription will be available to purchase for $11 on iOS devices and $7 on the company’s website.
In the resulting report, it was stated that having lower pricing on the website is to attract more users to the platform. In addition, there is no information about whether the price will change for Android.
According to Elon Musk, there will be yellow/gold badges for companies, gray for government agencies, and blue for individuals. However, all verified accounts will be manually verified before receiving the badge. Musk stated that this subscription is important for the sustainability of the platform.

Last week, Musk shared that he was willing to “go to war” with Apple rather than pay the commission. Afterwards, the CEO met with Tim Cook at the company’s headquarters. He also shared that there was a mistake about Twitter being removed from the App Store.
