# “Why Is iPhone Pricier?”- M’sian Shocked To See Varied Prices For Airline Baggage Based On The Device He Uses

A baffling anomaly in airline pricing came to light when a Malaysian netizen noticed fluctuating charges for extra baggage across various devices.

In a [viral Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/klvliew/posts/pfbid025UZ4RxdEKGLKzy9bhTCQDK41DPtNaFGH8nzfnWdmB3fKnHe9oUQ5MU5qmZ9tPyDcl), the netizen highlights a perplexing disparity in baggage fees for a flight from Johor to Kuching.

Booking a Johor to Kuching flight for his mother-in-law, the netizen was perplexed to see the price for a 20 kg bag at RM79.86 on an iPhone, a lower RM55 on a Huawei Honor X9b, and RM63.25 via a computer.

This oddity triggered a flurry of online discussion.

**Some netizens jested that airlines might be tailoring prices based on the device's perceived value. **

Further intrigue surfaced when a Samsung user reported a steep RM89.54 for the same luggage.

While this stirred debates about airlines' pricing models, others reported consistent prices across gadgets, deepening the mystery.

However, WeirdKaya conducted a quick comparison between iPhone and Android phones for a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and realized that the prices are actually the same.
