Shot in the dark, but I bet the top one has a shorter growing cycle per pound.

Thats entirely possible too, less light, less nutrients, less care, I prefer whiter strawberries since they are sweeter than tart myself. But it could just as easily be nurture vs yield as well.

It's likely the reverse. The bottom one will have a shorter growing cycle.

The top one is selected for firmness and shipping. Delayed ripening is usually linked to these traits in climacteric fruits.

The bottom one is selected for internal color and yield. They can't be shipped very far though.
