Apple announced that as early as October 5, in Chile, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Vietnam and all regions that use the euro, Apple App Store (App Store) will increase the price of apps and in-app purchases.
Apple said the price increase in Europe was the result of the current weakness in the euro against the dollar, but the company did not explain the reason for the same price increase in other regions.
Apple provides developers with preset price tiers at which they can price their apps, which will increase in the aforementioned markets next month. According to Apple, the first tier will rise from 0.99 euros to 1.19 euros, while the top tier will increase from 999 euros to 1,199 euros.
Apple regularly adjusts App Store price tiers around the world, and some developers may adjust the price tiers of their apps to accommodate price increases.
