Apple holds the key to its App Store and its advertising budget, both items Elon Musk needs if he's to make a success of his Twitter purchase.

“Apple has put Twitter at the center of their product launch efforts and they have produced epic events on Twitter,” said Lou Paskalis, a frequent Musk critic and member of the Twitter Influence Council, a group of advertisers who offer feedback to the company.Apple also wields significant power over Twitter’s ability to diversify the way it generates advertising revenue, which is how it makes the lion’s share of its money.

But privacy rules Apple imposed in April 2021 could limit Twitter’s ability to give marketers enough data on users to effectively target ads. Apple’s rules forced apps such as Facebook and Twitter to explicitly ask users if they could track their activity across the internet — a request many people turned down. Meta has

Even if Musk successfully restarts the program, Apple’s rules could limit how much money it manages to collect. Apple charges developers a 30 percent fee on most purchases made inside apps, though sometimes Apple charges 15 percent for smaller developers. That fee could have “a significant impact on the potential revenue for a subscription business,” said Lipsman, cutting every $8That issue could win Musk allies in the tech world.

iPhones are over rated and I’ll be getting me a Samsung

That’s it Washington Post, just feed the conflict. Heaven knows you would not simply report about it. Do you report any issue without adding your opinion?

Lollll

Apple needs Musk not to make a Starlink satellite phone that does not require cellphone carriers.... so Apple needs elonmusk more than Musk needs Apple

Apple needs cheap labour more than Twitter needs suicide prevention netting at its factories

There is one rule that was never broken: 'What comes up, must come down'

Sure ?

LoL

So what! How many relationships would exist without that mix💭 It’s dangerously unfair to quantify need.

Not really! Apple can't push daily updates/stories about Twitter to hundreds of millions of users. Twitter (Musk) can do that about Apple!

What is the deference

And orange needs banana more than strawberry.. Who will be the next man you will hate lads?

as far as you know.....lol Don't underestimate Elon's thought process.....he knew the globalist elites would attack hard and fast if he dared allow free will.....He's not a stupid man...he's got more tricks up his sleeve I'm sure. But good to see the criminals getting scared.

Propaganda

For now

Apple needs to be boycotted

Apple is just pissed because Twitter is a free download (with no in-app purchases), and they can't charge elonmusk 30% royalty fees for every download... eish, Haaaard life!

And no one needs a newspaper run by a man who forces his staff to piss in bottles.

Haha that's BS

😎 I wanna thanks you for Mr. E. A johnson. Then know I will easy and happiness and enjoy sometimes with this phone . You find first a mong other specialists Android . I can learn and learn from may life. Hopefully this technology phone touched not wrong use for war technology

Just the opposite

Ok Bezos

Wrong!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did anybody else notice how WaPo left out the possibility of elonmusk launching an alternative phone? If he's able to convince all of these other apps to drop Apple and only work on his devices, Apple's dead. Over half the nation is willing to leave Apple for a Musk phone.

Can we give this a rest? We know the W Post would love for Elon to go down in smoke. Up in smoke?

And nobody needs the WAPO WAPO = fake news

Disagree respectfully

WaPo needs Bezos more than Bezos needs the WaPo you guys were going out of business without a bailout and now that you are losing audiences and money again Bezos may sell too

Are you certain lol quit pushing a commie narrative.

Ask the pharma companies how much impact Twitter can have on the bottom line... Twitter doesn't need Apple.

I have never purchased an Apple product because they are over-priced and you can't work on them or replace components. This is why IBM won the PC wars...

No they dont

Um no corporations needs their consumers more then consumers need corporation

Keep fading away, just like an old piece of paper.

They are all working together. IRAN, RUSSIA, CHINA, EUROPE, ASIA, INDIA, U.S, ISRAEL EVERYONE hear KISSINGER SHIFING THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FROM THE U.S TO CHINA IRAN. Is about E.U BELT AND ROAD

Its a lie, 90% of my usage on iphone is twitter, if they don’t support this then it is just useless screen for me

Meanwhile Apple now realizes how much money they stand to lose. Money is king. Maybe Apple sees how going woke means going broke.

WRONG!!!

Musk needs a seat of APPL board.

That’s an understatement

Musk already met Cook and everything is fine. You're late.

Obviously.

Until Apple loses 44 million or maybe 80 million customers who value their rights over your agenda. Give Comrade Bezos a big ole sloppy Commie kiss for me, though, WaPo. 😘

And who needs amazon other than lazy people

It’s been resolved…

lol, weak asf fr

Not really Apple got its own problems with utilizing forced labor/ modern slavery in China

Cancel Apple and cancel Jeff Bezos COMMUNISTic newsrag aka Washington COMPOST. I will drop Apple when my phone is paid off. Elon start that new phone company I will sign up! drop Apple like a girls period hot n wet and bloody as hell.

Very much so. Musk paid $54 billion for a $30 billion company and its losing users daily. Apple has a waiting list for their phones since the shutdown in China. Long after Musk finally shuts up Apple will still be going strong

Apple should not decide what platforms it's users use. Neither should google.

Twitter is around the 40th-ranked app by usage in the Apple appstore. Apple could shake it and not feel the loss.

I like having the privacy protections Apple has put in place. 👇

It could also be a mutually rewarding relationship, too, ya know, if Twitter would only get it together 🙄and go NextLevel. Eternal optimist, I am.

There's a viable alternative to Apple.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So it's fair for them to reject Twitter because government doesn't like it?

Independent fact checkers say this is false. Let Apple lose 40-50% of its consumer base in the US and see what happens. Ask disney...or netflix...or paypal

Samsung is also a beautiful phone ..

Personally we’d all be better off without smart phones, social media and corporate media outlets like yours that does nothing but peddle propaganda all day long to serve the needs of your special interest groups.

The Washington Post needs readers more than readers need the Washington Post.

Apple uses forced, cheap government labor. Stop supporting Communism, WaPo.

And you need Twitter to say this!
