I don't think those cases are even comparable. Lying that you paid (through whatever means) is different from using a different user agent, which has no (direct, expected) relation to money.
But if you think changing the user agent is somehow wrong, you could also go all the way of emulating the iPad browser on your laptop, and use that to sign in for the service.

- Joeri 15y agoIf they advertised the plan as an ipad plan, there would be a point. But if the plan is advertised as all-purpose, but only offered to certain user agents, i don't think there's any legal issue.

- jiggy2011 15y agopedantic issue but if your are advertising the service as "ipad" then would you be allowed to use it with (say) an android tablet? It seems a little arbitrary otherwise espeically since people use the word ipad synonymously with "tablet" like "ipod" for mp3 player.
- rmc 15y agoLying that you paid (through whatever means) is different from using a different user agent, which has no (direct, expected) relation to money. If you change the user agent and then see that you get a different price, then you have clearly seen that user agent affects money.
