The price of applications in the App Store became expensive
Starting next month, Apple will increase the price of apps and in-app purchases in the App Store in many countries.
Apple announced in a blog post that the new prices, which do not include automatic subscription renewals, will take effect on October 5.
In a message to designers, the company announced that customers who use Euros, as well as users in Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Chile, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Vietnam, will see price increases from October 5.
Apple said the changes in Vietnam also reflect new regulations for the company to collect taxes including value-added tax and corporate income tax at a rate of five percent.
The growth of the value of the dollar has probably been an influential factor. In Japan, prices rose by about 30 percent, a significant increase after the yen’s depreciation.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple increased the price of its products including Mac, iPhone and iPad in early summer due to currency fluctuations. The euro has had the same fate as the yen and is now traded at the same rate as the US dollar and is likely to fall further.
