How to Change App Store Country/Region in iPhone or iPad
For instance, if you have added your credit card details with an address in one country and your iOS device might have been set up in another country; in that case, you couldn’t buy any item from Apple. So, your country region should be matched to the billing address you’ve given in your Apple ID profile.
Reasons to Change App Store Country or Region
All apps are not for everyone. If one person has made an application for his/her restaurant or local business, then it doesn’t make sense to make it available for other countries.
