Why does Apple even let apps read my phone model and battery level?

That's just evil. Next they're going to look into your calendar to see if you're running late.
replies:
May? That already sounds like it’s illegal.
replies:
If Lyft and Uber are doing this then I genuinely applaud them. That's astounding ingenuity in screwing over their customers. True innovators.

The article doesn't say they do this. It says: "In theory, a service could charge you more if you're on a vacation in a foreign country, instead of your hometown, because they know you would be willing to pay more. It would be the same if your phone's battery is low and you're trying to get home."
A really bad headline, but not surprising I guess.
replies:
That's a thing? Can they also tell that I'm in a shady neighborhood?

I never even considered that this was being done. Thankfully I rarely use those services.
replies:
they should stop at 'from' and just ban them completely
I've stopped using both soon after the pandemic. I can call a taxi if I really need it.
Look, does it really matter whether they do or not? If a company is morally bankrupt enough to conduct business like this in the first place, it's a certainty they'll just find some other novel way to be flaming assholes.
If you don't want to get cheated, stop doing business with thieves and liars.
