Q: Moving from the US

If I move from the US to another country and if I use a new credit card issued in the country where I now live, I need to change the Apple Store as well. Do I lose my purchases made during the past years in the US store?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.1.3

    You will lose the ability to potentially redownload them, content is tied to the country as well as to the account. But any copies that you have of them won't be deleted from your computer, iPhone, or your backups of your downloads/library. If you are no longer in the US then you cannot use the US store, you can only use the store of the country where you are.
