Twitter relaunches blue tick service with higher price for iPhone users

Those willing to pay $8 on the web or $11 a month via Apple's app store will get more prominence

Twitter is relaunching its subscription service on Monday, offering users verified status for $8 (6.50) a month or $11 a month on their iPhone.

The move follows a botched revamp of the service last month that resulted in a host of impersonator accounts appearing on the platform as some users took advantage of the chance to launch bogus verified" accounts for major companies and public figures.
