⚡️ Telegram Premium will be slightly cheaper than expected //
In Telegram’s new beta version for Android, one could find a mention of a premium subnoscription’s cost. Presumably, it will only be $3.99, although previously the price tag was expected to be a dollar higher.
The subnoscription’s exact cost will only be known at the time of release. It might vary from country to country.
Earlier, Pavel Durov said that the existing features will remain free after its release, with Telegram Premium allowing for additional features.
In addition, the premium subnoscription will expand users' limits and give them the opportunity to "join the club that receives new features first."

⚔️ Pavel Durov Speaks Out Against Apple //
Telegram’s founder drew attention to problems in the Safari mobile browser. Because of them, the messenger’s web version "cannot reach native-app-level quality on iOS”.
According to Durov, the reason is that Apple "limits web developers in terms of what they can do on iPhones and iPads." The Cupertinians are doing this intentionally.
This is how users are forced to move from web apps to native apps, where Apple is able to charge its 30% commission. The head of Telegram is glad that regulators have started to realize what is going on. He mentioned a recent statement from the British regulator.
“It's sad that, more than ten years after Steve Job's death, a company that once revolutionized mobile web turned into its most significant roadblock,” - concluded Durov.

Mark Zuckerberg announces a new WhatsApp feature which allows to transfer all chats between Android and iOS. He also noted that this was a top requested feature.
Up until recently, data transfer only worked one way – one would lose all saved data, when switching from Android to iOS. At the same time, data transfer from iOS to Android was introduced about a year ago.

🤓 “Greater-fool Theory” //
Billionaire Bill Gates dismissed cryptocurrency projects such as nonfungible tokens as shams “based on the greater-fool theory” at a climate conference Tuesday, reviving past criticisms of digital assets.
“Obviously, expensive digital images of monkeys are going to improve the world immensely,” said Bill Gates.
Mr Gates is a renowned crypto sceptic. Last year, he sparred with Elon Musk over whether Bitcoin is too risky for retail investors and the environmental harm of mining coins. The billionaire has also supported digital banking efforts, which he described as “hundreds of times more efficient” than cryptocurrencies.
