The move was likely a pushback against
Apple Inc's 30% cut on any payments made by users via apps on the iOS operating
system, the report said.
The lower pricing on the website was also
likely to drive more users to that platform as opposed to signing up on their
iPhones, the report said. It did not mention whether pricing would change for
the Android platform as well.
Musk, who took ownership of Twitter in
October, is planning to roll out the micro blogging site's verified service
with different colored checks for individuals, companies and governments, after
a botched initial launch led to a surge in users impersonating celebrities and
brands on the platform.
Twitter, Apple and Google, which owns the
Android operating system, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Musk, in a series of tweets last week
listed various grievances with Apple, including the 30% fee the iphone maker
charges software developers for in-app purchases.
He also posted a meme suggesting he was
willing to "go to war" with Apple rather than paying the commission.
Musk later met Apple chief executive Tim
Cook at the company's headquarters and later tweeted that the misunderstanding
about Twitter being removed from Apple's app store was resolved.
