Apple increases App Store prices in Australia, Sweden and Indonesia

As it periodically does, Apple has announced it's going to be changing App Store pricing in several countries.

Driven by shifts in foreign exchange values between the dollar and local currencies, Apple will be increasing prices in Australia, Sweden and Indonesia.

Australia is a big iOS market - one of the top 10 by revenue - while Sweden is a high ARPU market and Indonesia one of the big emerging Asian markets, although more Android-focused than iOS.

Perhaps more interesting, Apple has also said it will adding two new low-price tiers in the Australian App Store.

All changes will happen in the next 36 hours.
