If you’ve been thinking of buying a big-ticket app such as Logic Pro X or Final Cut Pro for yourMacBook Proor buying software via in-app purchases on youriPhoneoriPad, you’d be wise to do it before 13 February.Appleis putting up the prices of apps in the App Store, and the price hikes will apply to in-app purchases too.
The price is right
OlderiPhoneusers may remember that that final £999.99 price was the price of I Am Rich, the 2008 iPhone app that did absolutely nothing other than let people know that you were rich enough, and daft enough, to drop a thousand quid on a silly app.
If you’re looking for a way to beat the price increases, keep an eye out for deals on App Store gift cards: retailers sometimes do deals where you can get, say, a £50 gift card for £45. I’ve used that trick to get expensive app purchases for slightly less, and while the savings aren’t huge they’re still worth having.
