Uber prices seem to increase when phone battery is low
I'm skeptical but, one source says this was "debunked" in Sep 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yyJiz4K9gYThey point out that these rideshare apps can detect what your phone's battery % is, and the TOS says they may access that info.To test the allegation, they used two phones with different battery levels and compared the prices (at the same time, & with same destination), but did not find pricing differences.They reached out to Uber who made a statement:> Uber does not use personalized pricing nor is battery life a factor in determining fares. Pricing is optimized for the network as a whole, not any one individual rider or driver.  [1]Here is the reference Uber provided which describes how prices are set, and how other marketplace functionality works.
