Michal Ždanský For the first time in the history of the App Store, Apple adjusted the prices of applications, at least in terms of euros. We already saw price increases with the launch of the third generation iPad, followed by MacBooks, iPhone 5 and now desktop Macs. The increase in price is the result of the worse exchange rate of the dollar against the euro compared to previous years. In order to maintain the level of commissions, Apple resorted to this unpopular move. So far, the price hike seemed to affect only the hardware, but now the changes have also been reflected in both App Stores. The adjusted prices look like this:
- Tier 1 – €0,79 > 0,89 €
- Tier 2 – €1,59 > 1,79 €
- Tier 3 – €2,39 > 2,69 €
- Tier 4 – €2,99 > 3,59 €
- Tier 5 – €3,99 > 4,49 €
- Tier 6 – €4,99 > 5,49 €
- Tier 7 – €5,49 > 5,99 €
- Tier 8 – €5,99 > 6,99 €
- Tier 9 – €6,99 > 7,99 €
- Tier 10 – €7,99 > 8,99 €
- ...
The price increase is on average in multiples of ten cents (approx. CZK 2,50). Another consequence of the price change is that a large number of users are currently having trouble logging into the App Store.
cent to cent and it's worth millions in the manager's reward
Of course, cent for cent. that's what a market economy is all about. May they be rich for inventing such great entertainment for us. And Android? I'm going to buy this one for the kids to play with because it's really cheap. A cheap Android is looking for a sock that has nothing else to do but snoop around to steal or download for free. who really does not have these problems and buys a ready-made thing like iOs.
I assume that those who do not know how to work will rebel so that they buy a "japko" that solves everything we need for business.
The preference of the American market is obvious and, after all, understandable for Apple.
But such a shift at a time when the actual exchange rate is somewhere around €0,77, i.e. it is still below the original exchange rate of €0,79?!?
So I'm really struggling to find an understanding for this.
Add taxes
Apple is just going to hell. Poor Jobs must be turning in his grave...
Even if Jobs had lived, prices would still have risen.
Such arguments as "If Jobs Il, then it is DIFFERENT" are stupid.
No one claimed that if jobs were blabbering then it would be different. I'm just saying that de apple to the flowers. I give him a year max. 2
So just sell the music and it's a set...
Apple has been a disappointment for me for the last six months, I am more and more attracted to Microsoft with Win8 and Surface.
Do you mean the same Surface that already froze during the presentation to journalists and they had to exchange it for another piece? :D
God, screw everyone that it froze during the presentation.. the surface is the only tablet after the ipad that would tempt me
as a matter of fact, I am thinking about Android again, instead of 1x iPhone I will buy 3x Androids for the whole family and at the same level of quality.
It will definitely be a good phone and it will be enough for you. But it won't be the same quality, accept that. I had the opportunity to play with the Samsung galaxy S3 all weekend and I have to say that the 4S is simply completely different in terms of processing quality. Well, if I also take into account the interconnectedness of applications with iMac and iPad, then I simply have no choice but to stay with the iPhone. But if you don't have another Apple product, you don't have purchased apps, so why not try Android.
Guess they are $99 plus tax in the US so it's ok
