US multinational apple inc. declared it increase prices in its app stores in most parts of the world, but not Thailand.
Apple announced that the price increases would take effect next month for both App Store apps and in-app purchases.

Other affected regions are Chile, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Vietnam,
and countries that use the euro as their currency, ie France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Apple doesn’t give a reason why there isn’t an increase in Thailand or why App Store prices have increased in other countries.
Industry insiders said the gains were related to local currency exchange rates falling against the dollar.
In Japan, prices are up about 30%, a big jump after the yen weakened this year.
Apple raised the prices of its Mac, iPhone, and iPad lines earlier this summer to smooth out currency differences.
The euro has suffered a similar fate and is now par with the dollar Apple products have also become more expensive in Europe for the same reason.
Apple says price hike in Vietnam is due to new local tax regulations.
For people in the euro zone, apps and in-app purchases cost 0.99 euros and now cost 1.19 euros. An item that costs 9.99 euros increases its price to 11.99 euros.
The new prices in the App Store will take effect on October 5th this year. Developers can keep subscription prices for current subscribers if they wish.
