Uber is reportedly increasing prices for customers with low battery levels, according to a report in Belgian newspaper Derniere Heure.
The investigation found that some users in Brussels claimed to have seen varied prices for the same trips depending on their phone battery percentage.
Derniere Heure conducted an experiment using two iPhones with different battery percentages, revealing a significant price difference for the same trip.
Uber denied the claims, stating that the app does not measure a user's battery level to calculate the price of a trip, and that dynamic pricing is based on demand and supply factors.
