Prices in the UK's App Store are set to rise 25 percent as the pound continues to lose value after Brexit. According to a letter sent to Apple developers reported by 9to5Mac and confirmed by The Verge, the cost of the former cheapest apps will rise from £0.79 to £0.99, while the next tier of prices will be bumped from £1.49 to £1.99, and games like Super Mario Run which previously cost £7.99 will now set UK customers back £9.99.
This latest round of price changes doesn't just affect the UK (customers in India and Turkey are also going to see increases), but the extra cost is certainly a side effect of currency fluctuations following Brexit. The pound's value is currently on its way to a 31-year low against the dollar, briefly falling below $1.20 on Monday following newspaper reports of UK prime minister Theresa May ambitions for a "hard" Brexit. This means the UK's departure from the EU single market, with May's plans set to be announced in full today.
