Uber is currently present in more than 15,000 cities worldwide. Every one of these countries with its own quirks, rules, laws, tariffs...

Which is surely extremely challenging and demands lots of workforce. A huge part of these I believe aren't even programmers.

So in the end, around 30,000 people are only about 2 for each city. It doesn't really look that much.

I have to agree with you. I'm am Apple user since early 2000s and I'm only on my third Mac. My wife swapped her iPhone last month just for the 2nd time since 2016.

Not to mention that in all of these cases, our previous devices were still up and running and we managed to sell them for a fair price.

Usually the people I hear claiming Apple devices are disposable never have really bought/used them.

Sorry, I didn't specify: to foreigners.

I know in my country, people who are going to visit the US are being oriented to find and erase anything potentially controversial or even getting a new phone ahead of their travel and populating it with non-offensive stuff, so border officers don't find it suspicious for being too clean.

Of course they can't deny entry to US citizens, but I wonder if they can also claim the same and detain them somehow.

In UK, if I'm correct, law allows shopkeepers from refusing service only for security reasons.

Still, I believe the appropriate thing to do in case they suspect of a crime, is to notify the police and provide evidence, so it's investigated.

If they're allowed to kick people because some obscure software misidentified them as a criminal, I can envision a future where innocent people are unjustly and completely ostracized from all commerce within a city or country.
