There can be differences though. Where I live, Coca-cola has computerized all their vending machines, and you can connect to them with an app and pay for a drink and collect points to redeem for free drinks.

They also have a feature where if you walk a certain number of steps in a month, you can get a free drink. On iOS, the app asks for permission to read the step count data from the iOS system step counter. On Android, the app requires background location and the Coca Cola company can now know where you are at any time.
