Apple Shares Hour-Long Episode Of Silo On Twitter

The initial episode of Apple’s Sci-Fi original TV series, Silo, has been shared on the Apple TV Twitter account. This allows Twitter users to freely watch the first episode without subscribing to Apple TV+. Nevertheless, it is intriguing to consider how Apple managed to upload the hour-long ‘Freedom Day’ episode on Twitter.

Simply put, this was only possible thanks to Twitter Blue’s feature that allows paying subscribers to upload long videos in 1080p resolution.

Musk, who was behind Twitter’s recent overhaul after buying the microblogging platform for a whopping $45 billion last year, said: “Watch the entire first episode on this platform. Great move by Apple.” Users have been using this Twitter Blue feature to upload long-form content since the feature became widely available.

Funnily enough, Apple was one of the first major companies to “mostly stop advertising on Twitter” when misinformation spread throughout the platform during the rollout of the revamped Twitter Blue, which allowed you to get a “blue tick” as long as you were a paying subscriber. “Apple has essentially stopped advertising on Twitter,” Musk said after Apple threatened to ban the social media giant from its App Store in November 2022.

Twitter Blue is a paid subscription service that offers a variety of features – including the ability to post long videos, get a blue checkmark, edit tweets, send long tweets, and reach a wider audience. It costs Rs 650/month online, Rs 900/month on iOS or Android or Rs 6800/year online or Rs 9400/year on Android or iOS. We recommend purchasing your subscription online so you can use it on any device – including iOS or Android.

Silo is based on Hugh Howey’s book trilogy called Wool, Shift and Dust. It stars Rebecca Ferguson as Julietter Nichols, Tim Robbins as Bernard Holland, David Oyelowo as Holston Becker and Common Robert Sims. The final episode of the first season will be shown next Friday.
