An Indian woman exposed different prices for the same item for Android and iPhone users on a platform called Zepto.
Instagram user Pooja Chhabra conducted a simple experiment on Zepto in which she found that iPhone users are charged more money for any item than Android users.
In a practical demonstration, Pooja showed that the price of half a kilo of grapes was being displayed on the Android device as Rs 65, while on the iPhone it was more than double that price at Rs 146. In addition, the price of capsicum on the Android was Rs 37, while on the iPhone the price was being displayed as Rs 69.
Surprised by this huge difference, Pooja asked her followers to check the difference to see if they too were paying more when using an iPhone.
The price difference between Apple and Android users is usually linked to the region of the user, and e-commerce platforms believe that iPhone users have higher incomes and can pay more.
