Obnews Tech Desk: Nowadays the discussion about iPhone and Android devices is increasing. Many reports have claimed that the price of cab booking on iPhone appears higher than on Android. To confirm this claim, we conducted a test on an online cab servicing app. The results found that booking cabs using both iPhone and Android at the same time and location showed similar fares.
Why are there differences in prices?
However, if you notice a difference in fares on different devices, there could be several reasons behind this.
- User Pattern and Model: Fare may vary depending on your smartphone model and usage.
- Account Balance: If your balance is in minus, the final bill may be higher.
- Service Features: Premium membership, fast delivery, or adding a tip to the booking can also increase the price.
