Table of Contents
Price updates
Apple adjusts pricing for apps and In-App Purchases to account for tax regulations or foreign exchange rates. These adjustments are made using publicly available exchange rate information from financial data providers to help make sure prices for apps and In-App Purchases stay consistent across all storefronts.
Price updates
As of November 17, 2023:
(CORRECTION: The original document stated September 16th. Apple announced and implemented price changes on November 17th)
- Pricing for apps and In-App Purchases will be updated for the Chile, Laos, and Senegal storefronts if you haven’t selected one of these as the base for your app or In‑App Purchase. These updates also consider value‑added tax (VAT) introductions listed in the “Tax updates” section below.
If you’ve selected the Chile, Laos, or Senegal storefront as the base for your app or In-App Purchase, prices won’t change. On other storefronts, prices will be updated to maintain equalization with your chosen base price.
Prices won’t change in any region if your in‑App Purchase is an auto‑renewable subscription and won’t change on the storefronts where you manually manage prices instead of using the automated equalized prices.
The Pricing and Availability section of Apps has been updated in App Store Connect to display these upcoming price changes. As always, you can change the prices of your apps, In‑App Purchases, and auto‑renewable subscriptions at any time.
