Apple had already altered international App Store pricing to bring them in line with current exchange rates. This time Apple has decided to increase the price of apps in the App Store in order to compensate for changes in foreign exchange rates, reports TechCrunch. Apple would make changes to retail rates for Australian dollar, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Turkish lira, and South African rand. Apple current charges Rs. 55 for $0.99 as exchange rate in the Indian App Store.

Retail prices for Israeli New Shekels and some price tiers for the New Zealand dollar will decrease, according to the official note sent to the developers. Apple’s App Store is the biggest in terms of earnings. Earlier this year Apple announced that the Apple App Store has more than one million apps in 24 categories. It also made  $10 billion sales in 2013 and paid $15 billion to their developers.

Apple App Store price changes in these countries would reflect in the next 24 hour. This might be a minor change, which is common.
