Apple announces upgrade to App Store pricing

Thanks for that explanation. Is that why the price point ranges overlap - does the increment you select tell Apple how much they should round by when converting currency?

For example, on the surface it seems redundant to have overlapping prices bands

    $0.29-$9.99 in $0.10 increments
    $0.49-$49.99 in $0.50 increments

Since 10 cent increments include 50 cent increments, so why not say:

    $0.29-$9.99 in $0.10 increments
    $9.99-$49.99 in $0.50 increments

"does the increment you select tell Apple how much they should round by when converting currency?"

Not in anyway beyond simple math...thisnwhole scheme likely has more to do with ensuring and determining commissions that anything else.
