When you change your country on Apple Store, your available apps, media, and services might alter because of different countries having different content rights. You'll need to cancel your subscriptions and spend any remaining store credit. You might lose access to previously purchased items (apps, music, movies, books, etc.) if they're not available in the new region. Payment methods must also be updated to one accepted in the new country. It's crucial to back up your purchased files before making the switch.
