Apple App Store prices expected to rise in India, Turkey and UK

Apple is expected to increase its App Store prices for apps and in-app purchases by more than 25% in the UK in the next week as a result of the post-Brexit currency fall in the pound according to 9to5Mac reports.

Apple App Store prices in India are expected to jump by as much as 33% due to currency exchange rate and taxation rule changes.

Apple stated, “Price tiers on the App Store are set internationally on the basis of several factors, including currency exchange rates, business practices, taxes, and the cost of doing business, these factors vary from region to region and over time.”

Changes in exchange rates can and do have a significant impact on consumers, as illustrated in the significant prices hikes signaled above. And there's very little any individual can do to combat these cost increases.

However, there is a significant currency exchange cost that is overlooked by most when it comes to sending funds overseas: your friendly banker. It turns out that when transferring funds bank to overseas bank, the process will set you back a solid 5% plus unexpected fees.
