    I saw an article on lemmy about this yesterday, though not sure whether I’ll find it again.

    Hotels, flights, retailers already have an abundance of price discrimination. Target shows higher prices when your device is physically closer to a store and lower prices when you are further away. IPhone users tend to pay higher prices because they assume that since you had the extra money to pay for an expensive phone, you’ll be open to spending more at other stores.

    Likewise, if they see your device or other devices on your network/near you making several searches for hotels/flights the price will increase.

    It’s just another way to build greed into the system
