You can't compare physical goods to software in relation to price parity. The cost to sell an iPhone in South America is higher for Apple then it is to sell one in the US so it makes sense that they cost more. For a game it costs the same, and costs virtually nothing for each sale.

Google play supports setting different prices by country.

You’re saying, they don’t price discriminate because they can’t.

I’m saying, the fact that they don’t proves that it’s not necessary.

These two statements are perfectly compatible with each other.

Again: I’m not arguing for or against price discrimination. I’m just saying it’s not a need.
