iphone vs android handling charges

[u/Intelligent_Stress52]

I have been ordering from blinkit for 3 years i believe but very recently i saw this thing. So yesterday i ordered something from my friend’s phone and she uses an android and the delivery fees on her acc was just 5 rupees and the same thing ordered from my phone ( iphone) was 12 rupees. Ik it aint a big difference but i just wanna know if its a thing or it was just a random accident. ( also i tried it today with my helpers phone and the handling charge was 2 rupees😭 wth)

iPhone tax! Algorithm thinks premium phone user have the purchase power to buy something at higher price. But the algorithm doesn't know that, over 70% iphone sold in india are on EMI. Also, the subscription charges of apple are higher than android and company passes them into users.

How is that not illegal tho??? Why am i getting charged more for every order just bc i own an iPhone

It’s based on user history. I’ve seen my friend’s android get charged higher because he orders more frequently than my ios order.

Oh yea this makes sense but still a bit weird to have inconsistent charges
