iOS Applications Price Increase within 24hours

Moved to Forum: Original Link

—- Price change already in effect —-

Hey guys, just got an email at 7:00 AM EST notifying iOS application price increases due to currency changes.

If you had already planned on buying an app or apps, then you should get it within 24 hours before they change to the old pricing. They have not shown me the new pricing matrix as of yet. Their address is Cupertino CA (which is roughly 18 hours behind - which brings prices changes about 10 hours when they hit midnight).

Might go back to:
$0.99 -> $1.19
$1.99 -> $2.49
etc. (note prices may be not represented above)

First post, so feel free to move to this to the forums if you feel its better there but it might be seen more here to save a few bucks.

The letter as below:

Dear —-,
Within the next 24 hours, the following changes will be made to pricing on the App Store.
To account for changes in foreign exchange rates, App Store retail prices will be increased for the following currencies:
Australian Dollar
Indian Rupee
Indonesian Rupiah
Turkish Lira
South African Rand
Additionally, retail prices for Israeli New Shekels and some price tiers for the New Zealand Dollar will be decreased.
Price adjustments on the App Store are made periodically due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Within 24 hours, you will see the new Pricing Matrix in the Rights and Pricing section of Manage Your Apps on iTunes Connect.
Updates to iOS Paid Applications and Mac OS X Paid Applications contracts will be available on the iTunes Connect website. To view all current and outstanding contracts, see Contracts, Tax, and Banking on iTunes Connect.
Regards,
The App Store team

      Yes I got it today and expected to change pricing soon.. not april fools if thats what you mean :D

  • Should we first check the date today?

  • Sorry, but this is not a deal. Belongs in the forums :)

    • ok, how to move? and which is good category?

      • Let the mods decide. I've reported it for you. Cheers mate.

        • Thanks mate :D

  • Thank you!!!! Picked up a whole lot of iTunes Cards in JB HiFi sale so will spend ASAP on Pro Apps…

  • It hasn't gone to $1.19 – it's now $1.29. So even higher than before… :(

    Quite a massive increase, seems mostly to be 20-30% more expensive.

    • Yes :(

  • just started a petition to ask Apple to readjust their pricing, if interested please hop on and sign

  • The Aussie Dollar is blamed for many sins ie car, fuel "closedowns" and now apple product costs. For the latter perhaps it is a way to not have profits in Aus? Just saying and what would I know as a confused novice android user.!

  • Massive thanks to you WaterMark. I'd made the decision to purchase Mastock (share charting software) but hadn't got around to processing. It went up by $10 just after I bought it.

    • Glad I could help.. :D I've received a lot of bargains from OzBargain and thought I should contribute back

  • Think it just went up now.. Or am I abit late? This defeats the purpose of having 20% off Coles/woollies. Games costing from 99c now $1.29c massive rip. I'm a huge user when comes to iOS, this does really makes it unbearable.

    • Maybe a bit late unfortunately. Changed on the 3/4/14.
