Earlier this week, we covered Apple’s temporary suspension of sales in Turkey following the Turkish lira collapsing against the U.S. dollar and rising economic concerns. A new report has surfaced reporting resumed sales by Apple in Turkey, but with increased product prices.

This past week, the Turkish lira saw a collapse in value against the U.S dollar, which caused Apple to suspend sales of their product in the country. At its worst point, recorded on November 23, the Turkish lira was equivalent to about 0.078 US Dollars. Since then, the value of the currency against the U.S. Dollar has fluctuated and currently sits around 0.080 US Dollars.

According to a new report by MacRumors, Apple has resumed sales of its products in the country by introducing a hike in prices across the board. The data provided by MacRumors lists the increase in Apple product prices as below.
