NEW YORK: Apple has altered the prices of software applications from Canada to Europe because of currency swings in recent years. It is announced in one of the company’s more comprehensive global responses.
With the U.S. dollar rising, Apple earlier this week told software makers selling programs through its online App Store that it’s increasing app prices in the European Union, Norway, Canada and Russia because of foreign exchange rates and taxes. The changes took effect with the entry-level price for apps in Canada rising to $1.19 from 99 cents. In Europe, the basic app price jumped to €0.99 euro from €0.89 euro.
