Twitter has announced its intention to re-launch a new version of its subscription service, Twitter Blue, at a higher price for Apple phone users.

The company said in a tweet today, Sunday, that users can subscribe to the revamped service, which will allow editing tweets, uploading 1080p videos, and getting a blue check mark to verify the mail account, for $ 8 a month via the web, but for $ 11. per month through "Apple iOS".

Twitter did not explain why it charged Apple users more than others on the web, but there were media reports that the company was looking for ways to offset the fees it was charged in the App Store.

Twitter initially launched Blue Twitter in early November, before pausing it as fake accounts spread. It was then scheduled to be released again on November 29, but was delayed.

Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion in November, in a series of tweets last month listed several complaints with Apple, including the 30% fee that the iPhone maker charges developers. Software vs. in-app purchases.

He then accused Apple of threatening to ban Twitter from its App Store, and also said that the iPhone maker had stopped advertising on the social media platform.

However, after a subsequent meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Musk tweeted that the misunderstanding over Twitter's removal from the Apple App Store had been settled.
