App prices increased last Thursday which made Apple blame the falling loonie that began taking effect throughout the electronic marketplace.
This is the first time the Canadian App Store has seen a price change
The lowest-priced 99 cent apps are now 20 per cent more expensive… $1.19 is the new .99 on Apple’s App Store in Canada.
For other apps under $10, most went up by about 15 per cent.
$1.99 apps are now $2.29, $2.99 apps are up to $3.49, $3.99 apps have risen to $4.59, and $4.99 apps are bumped up to $5.79.
Apple had warned developers on Wednesday that an unspecified price increase would soon be enacted in Canada, Norway and European Union countries.
Some app developers saw the move coming and welcomed it.
