Big price difference in bundles on iOs and Android.

There is a huge price difference in the bundles, the prices in the iOs are about 40% more expensive, any explanation for that?

Do we have any risk of the price on Android going up too?

This may help you understand @TCBRITO

Basically app companies can't set prices for Apple (iOS) only tier vs. Android.

Apple figures millions of people are dumb enough to pay $1200 for a phone, with no charger or headphone jack, so why not bend you over on micro transactions too.

Until yesterday, prices were very similar, with minimal difference. I don't use iOS, I use Android, and my concern is that this absurd price increase will also happen on Android.

The cost was always a bit lower in IOS until now. NG said this is an issue of Android/iOS tax.
It’s a matter of both company

@marroba2000 Here in Brazil, since yesterday, the cost of iOs was 40% more expensive than Android, the price went up a lot, without any explanation.

While I'm giggling on the inside (I hate Apple trash) that sucks for those folks.

Seems like Apple could swallow the loss a bit and adjust down their own take to make the pricing competitive

But what do I know.

Hi @TCBRITO. According to the link posted by @zbot the increased value represents an adjustment in the relation Real/dollar.
Here in Argentina, the prize of the bundles is shown in dollars directly. And the relation remains the same. iOS costs are cheaper than Android costs.
So, if someone around you have an Android phone, it’s time to buy, before Google adjusts his values too.
