That's basically an urban legend about vacation prices being different between iPhones and Android. It's not a thing.

A bunch of people claimed it happened to them and it sounded sinister and plausible so it's spread a lot on social media.

But there is no actual evidence of it and lots of people, including journalists, have tried to reproduce it and failed.

And the thing is, it's really easy to pull up a flight today on an old android and see a cheap fare, and then pull it up on your Mac a day later and see it's much more expensive, and not realize that the reason for the price difference is because the cheap seats sold out and only the expensive ones are left.
