Change the Default Country for the App Store

When you setup your iPhone, Apple's App Store sets your country as the default location, making it easy to buy apps in your country's currency.

If you're moving to another country, though (or simply visiting for an extended period of time), you may want to start paying for apps in your new currency. To do this, you have to change the default country. Here's how to do so:

    ■Long press the power button to switch on your iPhone.
    ■Swipe your finger to the right on the screen (screen with the slide to unlock text) to unlock the device.
