If it was the same content, then you can call it "discriminating"...but the tablet apps provide a more interactive experience, with integrated video etc., while the smartphone apps don't.

Now it is easy for other firms to reap the "apple tax" now that apps can read your phone type, where you are located, and where else you shop. The easiest place to see this is on the travel sites where there is at least a $100 spread on you trip quoted from a safari browser versus foxfire.
