I didnвЂ™t bother to find out about this, though, because my first assumptions upon poking around the new app вЂ“ especially after encountering its new subscription requirement in order to use any of its substantive features вЂ“ was that its developers had ceased any actual time investment into the app long ago, and that 6 was a new version in number and rudimentary visual updates, only, shoved out in hopes of peaking old, loyal users like myself enough to get us to download it, at least. As my old fav, The Verge noted in their coverage of 6, blame for these omissions rests solely on Twitter, Inc., itself, whoвЂ™s continued to hold its API development inordinately close-to-chest. Perhaps itвЂ™s because the app didnвЂ™t appear to have any new features вЂ“ in fact, itвЂ™s technically got less than 5, though those that have been removed вЂ“ user-specified URL shortening, image hosting, and video hosting services вЂ“ havenвЂ™t worked in a good while anyway. I canвЂ™t remember exactly why вЂ“ though I suspect I was just fucking around on my phone before bed, bleary-eyed вЂ“ but the implications of this next numeral passed me by the first time I saw and downloaded Tweetbot 6, two weeks ago.

Notably, Tweetbot developer company Tapbots was apparently required to take down Tweetbot 5вЂ™s store listing 30 days before releasing Tweetbot 6.

This is an unusual practice вЂ“ usually, pre-release versions of iOS apps can only be distributed through AppleвЂ™s developer beta testing infrastructure, though Testflight. At this moment, it is listed on the App Store as an вЂњEarly ReleaseвЂќ version, though its predecessor can still be downloaded by those whoвЂ™ve already purchased it in the past, like me. In the name of progress, IвЂ™ve done my best to make a point of looking back, too, yet something astonishingly personally relevant managed to slip past me until just last week: there is a sixth version of the Tweetbot app. 825 days ago, I told you lots about the history surrounding the development of Tweetbot 5, which I confidently described as вЂњlikely the last comВpetВiВtive third-parВty TwitВter app for iOS.вЂќ After spending the past few months diving deep into iOS in preparation to review and reflect upon AppleвЂ™s current flagship handset, my eyes have been opened to the exponentially-increasing pace of the whole environmentвЂ™s metamorphosis during the course of my lapsed attention. Were it just I who came to you with only my voice on this cold night, proclaiming the imminent release of a whole numerical version of a third-party mobile Twitter client in 2021, you really would have no choice but to send for the laws, for youвЂ™d be left no consideration other than my comprehensive descent into absolute insanity. Listen to this article read by Siri below. In the bleak face of TwitterвЂ™s centralization, Tapbots refuses to give up on its mobile client.
