The announcement was made by Apple since last week, but only today I noticed that from our country, the purchases we make fromApp Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, Apple Music ICLOUD will also be made in the local currency. In lei.
Hello,
The currency used in Romania for the App Store, iTunes Store, Ibooks Store, Apple Music and for the iCloud storage space will be changed from Euro to Leo.After changing the currency, any pre -orders or subscriptions will be invoiced in lei, and the hips of existing iTunes will be expressed in the local currency.
Redeem your gift balances as soon as possible. During the currency exchange you may experience problems viewing, using or redeeming your store credit.

The transition from EURO to the local currency LEU, is an advantage for users who purchase Applications, games, music, iCloud storage space or other services from Apple. They got cheaper overnight. Some.
If before I used one card bancar associated with one lei account, every time I made a purchase from App Store, one had to be made currency exchange / o conversion from LEU currency to EUR.
starting today, the prices for all applications and games in the App Store are displayed in LEI, both on macOS (Mac, MacBook) as well as on IOS (iPhone, iPad).
A first advantage is observed at Monthly subscriptions for Apple Music. The price of 4.99 euros / month for individual subscriptions, is now 19.99 lei / month. If we were to make a conversion on Currency exchange today, we notice that the Apple Music subscription is Cheaper with aprotative 2.3 lei.4.99 EUR = 22.7 LEI.
The most interesting part is that the number of those who buy applications and games from the App Store may decrease. As a psychological impact, it seems to be better seeing a price of 9.99 euros than one of 45.5 lei.
An example would be Final Cut Pro X, that is now displayed in the App Store with the price of1 499,99 lei. We have a 6 -digit price and even if it is equivalent a329.99 Euro, as if it were easier to digest expressed in the European currency. :)
Apple is not the only company in the United States that practices rates expressed in local currency. It has already been a few years since Microsoft switched its prices for products and services from the European currency to the local currency.
We hoped that with the transition from the Euro to the local currency. Apple will also bring the service to Romania Apple Pay.
