I’m doing a start-up right now that focuses on tracking systems for cellular devices.
And believe me, if Apple didn’t want Uber to linger, Apple wouldn’t allow Uber to linger.
And Apple can unlock phones just fine. That whole FBI thing was a sham.
The thing is they don’t want people to know that they can do these things. They don’t want the precedent.

Two years ago Apple caught Uber tracking iPhones contrary to Apple rules and forced them to stop under threat of completely banning the Uber App from the Apple App Store. I do not believe that they were able to do such tracking on modern iPhones with their built-in protections against such abuse of locations services, especially after the App was deleted or the iPhone was reset to factory settings. The question I have is did Uber remove their unethical tracking from their Android app when they removed it from the iPhone at Apple'e demand? PING! Pinging ThunderSleeps for attention of his list for the Uber Android App users.
Uber's Apple App Was Tracking iPhones In 2015

I don’t get it.
Why would Uber do this?
I’m no fan of Apple, but rules are rules.
Uber shoots self in foot?.................

This is a fake news. Clearly a hit piece. Probably sponsored by NYC taxi medallion owners. I read a bit of the article, but couldn't handle more. FAKE. FAKE. FAKE.
I used Uber in Kiev. It was pretty good. Some rides were a dollar or two. I did don't need to speak to the driver and paid by credit card. The drive vets don't expect tips; the first one thought I was trying to pay him. It also worked great in Kraków.
