Gems on ios costs less than gems on android, thats pretty weird.
not really - gem prices are dictated by Apple and Google - all SC does is set a tier for pricing and then the local prices are worked out by the providers.
This is an example of Apple's http://forecomm.mptw.fr/templates/PriceMatrix.html
If this is the case, there could be a number of explanations.
a) gems are essentially purchased via a 3rd party, in the case of iOS, it's via the apple app store, and I presume for android it's via the market place.
b) different vendors may have:
i) different overheads/ take a different cut/have a different mark up
ii) may have different currency conversions across countries...
