Here’s How to Change Your iPhone and Mac’s App Store Country or Region

Having the ability to alter your App Store country or region can unlock a plethora of new applications and content. Numerous apps and games are exclusive to specific countries or regions, and by adjusting your App Store country, you can access applications and games that would otherwise be unavailable.

For instance, consider a recently launched exciting game in Japan. If your App Store is configured for the United States, you won’t be able to download this game. However, changing your App Store country to Japan would instantly grant you access to download and enjoy the game.
