A customer recently highlighted a significant price difference for the same product on Flipkart’s mobile app. The customer shared a screenshot showing the Makobara Small Cabin Suitcase (54 cm), which had different prices on Android and iPhone platforms.
On the iPhone app, Flipkart listed the trolley bag for INR 5,499. In contrast, the same product was available for a lower price of INR 4,819 on the Android version of the app. This discrepancy raised eyebrows and led to various reactions online.
