The price of apps on Apple's App Store will rise by up to 30 per cent in Australia from Wednesday afternoon.

A price increase was foreshadowed by Fairfax Media on Tuesday, and has been followed up with the release of updated pricing tables to Apple software developers who provided Fairfax with the details before Apple began rolling it out on Wednesday evening. On Tuesday Apple did not say what the increase would be.
