Apple to Update App Store Prices in Europe and Other Countries Within 36 Hours

In some of the aforementioned regions the prices will go up, but several countries will experience the decrease of the prices. And there’s a very interesting situation with Russia, where the prices are said to be “changed” without specifying their increase or decrease. There’re two main reasons for all the changes. The first one is connected with adjustments in taxes policy and the second one - with unstable currency exchange rates in a number of countries.

Here's How New 12-inch MacBook Air May Look Like [Images]



As you probably know, the guys from Cupertino are expected to release a brand new 12-inch MacBook Air later this year.
