Twitter is set to relaunch a revamped version of Twitter Blue, and it will be at a higher price for Apple users.
The service will allow subscribers to edit tweets, upload videos at 1080p and get the blue checkmark post-verification.
Twitter had initially launched the Twitter Blue early in November before pausing it as fake accounts mushroomed.
The service will cost $8 per month for web users, but $11 per month for Apple.
The social media giant didn’t explain why the extra cost for iOS users, but it is believed to be in relation to App Store fees and charges. #Twitter #TwitterBlue #Apple #iOS
Apple’s Senior VP of software engineering, Craig Federeghi hosted the virtual keynote presentation.
On FaceTime, users will now be able to stream movies or music together during a group call.
The company says “FaceTime calls will become more natural, with the introduction of SharePlay for shared experiences, helping users stay in the moment”.

The mobile wallet app has also been redesigned, allowing users to unlock everything from their home to their hotel room with digital keys.
Apple employees angry about CEO asking them to return to work
While many are enjoying the perks of working from home, Apple employees are angry about a memo from the CEO asking them to return to work.
While office workers around the world haver been getting by the last year on Zoom meetings from the lounge room, the tech giant is trying to get employees back to Apple park on set days.
Apple workers would still be able to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays though.
Many employees are unhappy with the announcement, responding in an internal letter that they would like more flexibility.
They want those who like working remote to be allowed to do so.
