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<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The $11 figure appears to be rounded off, with a 30% increase to the $7.99 fee working out to $10.38.<\/p>\n

This comes after Twitter CEO Elon Musk went on a rant over suspicions that Apple would pause advertising on the platform and remove the app from its App Store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a series of Tweets, Musk said Apple had cut its Twitter advertising and threatened to bump the social network from Apple’s app store.<\/p>\n

He asked whether Apple hated free speech, criticised its app fees and even discussed whether the tech giant would go after another of his companies, Tesla Inc.<\/p>\n

Musk then met with Apple CEO Tim Cook<\/a><\/strong> at the tech giant’s Cupertino headquarters toward the end of November.<\/p>\n

Musk said that the two had a “good conversation” and “resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store”.<\/p>\n

He said Cook made it “clear that Apple never considered doing so”.<\/p>\n

In early December, Musk said Apple had “fully resumed” advertising<\/a><\/strong> on Twitter.<\/p>\n
