Apple was reportedly in talks with Uber for same-day delivery before Postmates

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple reportedly entered into discussions with Uber regarding same-day delivery on products before the tech giant ultimately chose to take the service up with startup Postmates.</p> <!--break--> <p>According to sources cited by The New York Times:</p>
<p>"In recent months, Uber lost out on the opportunity to make deliveries in some cities for Apple Inc. and Starbucks Corp., which discussed tie-ups with Uber but then made deals with startup courier service Postmates Inc."</p>
<p>Apple was interested in partnering up with Uber's on-demand delivery service, referred to internally as UberEverything. The service itself has failed to take off thus far, only bagging Uber a handful of deals. While no specific locations were mentioned, the two companies discussed "some cities."</p> <p>After talks reportedly broke down between Uber and Apple, the latter tech giant partnered with Postmates, launching the same-day delivery option last month.</p> <p>Source: WSJ</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
