Apple Increases iOS and Mac Developer Program Prices in UK and Germany
Posted January 2, 2015 at 2:08am by iClarified
Apple has quietly increased the price of its iOS and Mac Developer programs in both UK and Germany. First spotted by apfelpage (via 9to5mac) both programs in Germany are now up to €99/year (previously €80/year). In the UK the pricing has been changed to £79/year (previously £60/year).
The pricing of $99/year still remains in effect for the US, so no word on whether that will also see a change. Apple could simply be adjusting the price as a result of currency fluctuations, or perhaps a price increase will later follow for all countries.
Apple requires developers to sign up for their developer program in order to distribute iOS and Mac apps through the company's App Store. Developers also get early access to iOS and Mac beta releases.
Let us know if you spot any other countries that have newer prices!
