Why are Apple phones more expensive than Android phones?

The hot discussion on the Internet that "Apple's drip car is more expensive than Android" is actually inaccurate. The reason why Apple is more expensive than Android is that the prices seen by those users are discounted.

Jaco, chief technology officer of Didi's official Weibo publishing company, gave the possible reasons for the fluctuation of "estimated price":

First of all, the estimated price will change according to the positioning, road conditions, mileage and duration. Among them, the road conditions change the fastest, and the estimated price of Didi is "millisecond real-time refresh". The price may be different with the time when the mobile phone enters the interface; Secondly, the estimated price amount displayed by Didi = estimated price-coupon deduction amount. Some online photos ignore coupon deduction; In addition, the complex network environment may lead to different positioning, leading to different final car prices.

Jaco said that as long as you open Didi at the same time and try it several times, you will find that it is wrong. Under the news of Weibo Big V, some netizens left messages to share their experiences. The reporter noted that the official response was basically the same as Didi.

"This is not a' killing' phenomenon, but' killing people who are not sensitive to price'." Zhou Tao, a big data expert, director and professor of the Big Data Research Center of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, said that when different consumers see different prices, people often think that this is price discrimination. In fact, we can think the other way around. Some consumers see the original price, and some consumers may see the price after coupons and cash back coupons.

Extended data:

For the price difference of Apple Android, Qianbao reporter made a special test:

Qianbao reporter conducted several tests in Hangzhou, and selected two Apple phones, an Android phone and three Didi accounts to test at the same time, starting point and end point. At 2: 00 p.m. 15, I tested two Apple mobile phones from Intercontinental Hotel in Hangzhou to Zhejiang Daily. The results show that the prices of carpooling, express train and premium service are exactly the same, which are 20.2 yuan, 2 1.5 yuan and 25.4 yuan respectively.

Let's take a look at the comparison test between Android phone and Apple phone. At 8: 07 pm, from Intercontinental Hangzhou Hotel to Zhejiang Daily, the premium prices of Apple's car pool, express train and Android phone were 18.3 yuan, 20.6 yuan and 24.3 yuan respectively, and the prices of Android phone were 17.9 yuan, 20.65 yuan, 438+0 yuan and 23.8 yuan respectively.

According to the results of two groups of random tests, the estimated prices of carpooling, express train and exclusive service do differ at the same time and at the same starting point and end point, but the difference is not more than that of 0.5 yuan.

People's Daily Online-Didi denies that big data is "cooked": price discrimination is not allowed.
