Elon Musk isn’t giving up on Twitter Blue, with the subscription confirmed to be returning at $8 per month through a browser, but $11 via the iOS<\/a> app. <\/p>\n

\n

The continued attempts by Twitter to bring in more revenue from users has already seen changes<\/a> to its Twitter Blue subscription, followed by its abandonment<\/a>. Now, it’s confirmed to be coming back on Monday, with it being more expensive on iOS. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a tweet confirming<\/a> the rumored pricing change<\/a>, the official Twitter account, Twitter Blue will cost $8 per month when subscribed to via a web browser. Meanwhile, on iOS, it will cost users an inflated $11 per month. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For that money, subscribers will get the blue checkmark, as well as prioritization for replies, mentions, and search. It remains to be seen if Twitter has successfully come up with a better way of handling verification considering the last attempt had severe issues<\/a> dealing with fake accounts. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They will also see half the quantity of ads as non-subscribers, can post longer videos at 1080p, gain early access to new features, and a reader mode, among other features. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The higher $11 fee will apply to users who choose to subscribe via the iOS app, with the increase thought to be covering Apple’s first-year 30% commission for in-app purchase subscriptions. Though Apple charges a 15% fee for subscriptions maintained past a full year, it is unknown if the per-month charge for Twitter Blue will reflect the reduction beyond 12 months. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The change in pricing follows after Musk engaged in a tweet storm<\/a> over allegations Apple was cutting advertising on Twitter. During the tirade, Musk complained about the 30% App Store<\/a> commission, raising the legal battle with Epic Games as part of the conversation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
