Apple Might Change iTunes Song Pricing
Wednesday, August 09, 2006
Apple Computer might be considering changing the prices of individual songs purchased on its iTunes Music store, after a Digg user posted screenshots supporting the idea. Although I've been told that this screenshot might be fake, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple raising the prices of songs on iTunes. It's no secret that Apple gives record companies more than 70 cents from each individual song purchased, and the bandwidth cost might be causing Steve Jobs to think over the pricing on iTunes. No word on when this rumor might come true (It was thought that it would during Worldwide Developers Conference, which ends on Friday). Don't take this rumor to seriously, because after-all, the rumor mill has been known to be horribly incorrect.Comments
Some say he's been redirected to the Australian servers and therefore the Australian price of $1.69 is seen....

@ Stuart: Good idea - That might be the reason why he seems to have seen the price difference (However, the Digg user noted that the price was only changed once he logged in - When browsing while signed out, the pricing was the usual 99 cents). Thanks for the tip ;-).
