I think you meant "Customers don't know".

I suspect if the UI offered customers to pay now using Apple's thing, or have a button to get 30% off by going to some more convoluted flow, a lot of people would choose the rebate.

If people want a cheaper but more complicated experience, they have the Android option

I think at the point they're making the transaction, they're already locked in. It's not like someone is going to buy a new phone and replace all their apps when they're purchasing an Uber subscription.

Plus, I think another commenter pointed out that the end user is still getting the same price on Android - I don't know if that's because Apple mandates something or a business decision on the company's side?
