--FILE--A Chinese mobile phone user shows the icons of App Store app, left, and messaging app Weixin, or WeChat, of Tencent on his iPhone smartphone in Ji'nan city, east China's Shandong province, 27 June 2017.Apple China said it will not take the blame for developers who charge differently on the iOS app and Android versions for the same product or service. Netizens have found they need to pay more on iOS than Android in using the same ride-sharing or video subscription services. Some Internet companies have reportedly adopted differential pricing plans through the use of Big Data based on a customer's buying behavior or interest, so a new customer may pay less than an old customer for the same product or service.No Use China.
