Many online retailers practice "dynamic pricing" where they adjust prices based on who they think is shopping. People who they think will or can pay more may be shown higher prices.
One proven way this is done is by noting which device you are using to access the site. A new iPhone is an indication the user has more financial resources, or is willing to spend more. An old Android phone is an indication that a user may not have as much to spend.
