Crystal packs more expensive after update

Still $99 for me after the update.

No change for me. The last price increase was a couple months ago so would be surprised to see it go up again so soon.

As I posted before: This is Apple's fault! They increased prices for Mexico, Denmark, and all Euro-based countries as of May 1st.

This is Mexico, Denmark, and Euro's fault. Their currency is weakening.

Its now more or less the same price than android in Germany at least. As you have every week discounts on iTunes cards of 10-15%. There are such discounts on android very rarely....

France and iPhone here : after the update, vault is 109,99€

Except it's not. Well, not the Euro, anyway. The low point for the Euro was December 2016, and it is slowly on the rise again since then. But I don't remember Apple lowering the prices when the Euro was on the rise earlier in the decade (and insofar as I know, the rally of the BRL since its crash in 2015 is not causing them to reduce prices in Brazil).

In the past, different countries have had an advantage. If you compared global currency, they paid less for the same amount of crystals. This might just be EA/Apple/Google equalizing prices.

If they were equalizing prices, they'd be dropping prices in Euro countries. European countries get consistently shafted by American companies using a 1:1 exchange rate. This is just Apple being greedy, because even at a 1:1 exchange rate they'd still be making more, taking the real exchange rate into account.

Prices have increased only for iPhone users. Seems like it's because of Apple new pricing

Yes Apple is to blame, but not entirely
This is fictive currency that we buy an CG/EA sets the prices for the specific packs in the specific country
The only thing that would stop something like this, would be a significant drop is sales from countries involved, but that would never happen, as people just complain and then buy
