Aussie Apple App Store prices raised by 15%

Feel the pinch, Aussies; Apple App Store prices have just been raised by 15% locally.

This means that $1.29 AUD apps are now st at $1.49 AUD.

Apple increased pricing in the country by 30% last April, so that $1.49 AUD app that used to cost $1.29 AUD actually used to cost just $0.99 AUD. Got that?

To be fair, when our dollar was doing amazingly in 2011, Apple did cut prices by 25%, so it can swing both ways.
