What in-app purchases and subscriptions does X offer on iOS?
X offers in-app purchases on the App Store, which can include subscription tiers (weekly, monthly or annual), one-time purchases or virtual currency. Subscription revenue and IAP earnings are a major driver of the monthly revenue estimate above.
