It’s 2017, and most cars, bikes, and even phones are set to cost more, with added input costs. But that’s not all. Apple has increased the prices of iOS apps by as much as Rs 100 in India.

If you take a glance at the app store, the price revision has already come into effect. We tracked the price developments of certain apps between 18 Jan to 23 Jan.

While the entry level pricing of Rs 10 still remains, but a lot of popular apps, including games like Assassins Creed: Identity now cost Rs 100 more than what you would have paid last week.

Price tiers on the App Store are set internationally on the basis of several factors, including currency exchange rates, business practices, taxes, and the cost of doing business. These factors vary from region to region and over time.
