“Your proceeds will be adjusted accordingly and will be calculated based on the tax-exclusive price. Exhibit B of the Paid Applications Agreement will be updated to indicate that Apple collects and remits applicable taxes in Vietnam”, the blog post added further.

The decision to increase prices of apps and in-app purchases comes days after the Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled several high-end products at its ‘Far Out’ event on September 7. Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook unveiled the new iPhone 14 series which is now available for sale.

The iPhone 14 series includes four variants i.e iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The new iPhone has retained the look of the previous version. It comes with a camera enhancement, a satellite connectivity feature and a new interface called Dynamic Island.
