iOS users will reportedly pay more for Twitter Blue

The Twitter Blue subscription is currently on hold, and when it resumes, iOS users will have to pay $11 (R189) a month for the plan, The Information reports.

For other device users, the subscription costs $7.99 (R137), and the increased price for Apple's operating system is reportedly to offset the App Store's 30% fee.

Buy it on Twitter.com through the iOS browser?

Makes sense for iOS users to pay more. The Twitter iOS app fits seamlessly into the ecosystem .

Lol if you have R30k to spend on a device then you surely can absorb a 30% increase.

So Google is running the Play store for free now?

Why don't they make the payments off the app like Amazon?

Apple users want the experience to be seamless, easy and brave. Curated by Apple. To mess around with internet browsers is not fun and harder. Who has the time for that?

I assume you mean prime video subscription.
They have an exception.
Everything else gets the 30% charge.

Nothing to see here, it's the Apple App Store 30% tax.
