Twitter changes Blue Tick pricing: $11 for Apple users, $7 for web
By upping the pricing for iOS users, Elon Musk aims to circumvent Apple's 30% tax on payments on App Store
Elon Musk will be charging Apple users more for the Blue Tick service in a bid to circumvent Apple's 30% tax on payments and the risk of a ban.
Twitter users on iOS may have to pay $11 through the App Store, whereas the same user will have to pay only $7 through the website.
Reports say that Musk set up a meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook and discussed the App Store tax problem. The Twitter owner shortly tweeted that the problem has been resolved.
Before the meeting between Musk and Cook took place, the Twitter owner had declared "war" against the App Store tax over the 30% tax issue.
The subscription service was to have launched on December first week but the launch has been deferred for the third time. Musk announced that the upgraded service will also have colour-coded checkmarks for users.
