Does it depend on that? It will affect the cost to DoorDash, but if the premise of the lawsuit is unfairness of price discrimination based on device operating system, then I don't see how it's relevant to the end customer that DoorDash pays a different cost for their transaction.
That said, I'm personally skeptical that the premise is even defendable in the first place. Operating system is not a protected class and so I don't see any legal basis for why a company couldn't price discriminate based on it.

- ketchupdebugger 3y agoIf doordash says we charge a X% fee but then Apple charges Y% on top while android charges no fee then logically it should be higher on Apple. If doordash is saying we charge a higher fee on Apple because Apple users are generally wealthier, thats pretty discriminatory.
