Following the new changes, once the new pricing comes into effect the pricing and availability of the section of My Apps will be updated.

Developers then can change the price of their respective apps and in-app purchases any time from the App Store Connect. And if they offer subscriptions on the apps then, there is an option to preserve price for existing subscribers.
