From week to week, Elon Musk has shifted expectations for his Twitter Blue paid verification subscription service. After a hasty, exclusive rollout and almost immediate retraction from the Apple App Store, the service's relaunch has been delayed, partly to give Musk time to figure out a way to avoid Apple App Store fees. Now, it seems Musk has found a solution that could mean Twitter Blue will be back soon, but its comeback could come at a greater cost to some Twitter users.
According to The Information, Musk has told some staff that he plans to offer Twitter Blue for $8 for purchase on the web, but the price will be hiked to $11 per month for anyone who purchases the subscription in the App Store.
Neither Twitter nor Apple could be immediately reached to confirm The Information's reporting.
