Twitter has once again delayed the launch of its Twitter Blue subscription service, which allows users to purchase a verified badge for $8 per month as owner Elon Musk continues his public feud with Apple over its 30 percent in-app purchase fees.
that according to internal messages shared by a Twitter product manager this week, the launch of Twitter Blue has been delayed to “make some tweaks.” Twitter plans to no longer offer subscriptions to its Twitter Blue service via its iPhone app when it relaunches as owner Elon Musk takes issue with Apple over its 30 percent charge for in-app purchases on its platform.
One of the changes reportedly includes requiring users to authenticate via phone number to subscribe to the service. Musk initially planned to launch the service on Tuesday, but has now delayed the relaunch until December 2 — but this timeframe is also subject to change. Twitter will no longer have to pay a Apple a 30 percent cut of all subscriptions by not offering Twitter Blue as an in-app purchase. This likely means that the subscription would be accessible on Twitter’s website itself, allowing Twitter users on all platforms to access the service. Before the service was paused, it was only available to iPhone and iPad users.that tech giant Apple has “mostly stopped advertising” on the platform.
