Specifics of changing the App Store country

Hello all


I am considering the possibility of changing the App Store country on my iPhone. Apparently this is possible but I am very unclear as the details. Specifically:


1/ How is it done?

2/ How easy it it to swap back?

3/ Is it device-specific or ID-specific? In other words, if I change on iPhone will it affect my iPad or Mac?


Any information gratefully received !

1/ How is it done?

Follow the steps in:

Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support


2/ How easy it it to swap back?

Fairly easy, if you have added credit to your apple ID you will need to 0 that out first

If have running subscriptions you need to wait for them to be expired


Is it device-specific or ID-specific? In other words, if I change on iPhone will it affect my iPad or Mac?

It is account wide.


Good luck!
