App Store pricing increase for Euro zone.

A move that will surly irritate many European Apple fans is about to unfold in the upcoming 7 days. The Cupertino-based tech giant has announced developers, that it will increase the rates for apps in all countries that use the Euro currency, along with Denmark and Mexico. This change is blamed on changes in the foreign exchange rates between the USD and EUR (Euro), DKK (Danish Krone) and MXN (Mexican Pesos). Price jumps will affect both app prices and in-app purchases. Auto-renewable subscriptions are the only transactions excluded from this new pricing scheme.

European Apple customers aren’t the only ones negatively affected by Apple’s new fees, worldwide App Store affiliates will be also massively hit by a drastic cut in the referral commission. The rewards go down from 7% to a shocking 2.5% starting with the 1st of May, 2017. That’s a 65% decrease making iTunes affiliation almost obsolete. It’s uncertain yet if the extra 4.5% gained from the cut will go directly to Apple’s pockets, or the company will share the extra revenue with app developers.
