I think if you're a driver, an up to date phone is a business expense. The latest version of the app doesn't require the latest phone - just enough space.

  Contract employees are supposed to be able to determine the tools they will use to complete their tasks, by law.

    As part of the independent contractor guidelines, they have to supply the tool (versus the employer buying it for them). But tools and equipment are commonly specified (even down to a specific tool model for insurance requirements or material brand for warranty requirements) as part of contracted labor.

    If the job requires certain certain strength tools, you need a good enough tool to complete it. Like digging soft dirt tools vs breaking up hard stone tools to dig a hole somewhere...

    And they are. Android versus iPhone, Nexus versus Galaxy, etc. If I hire someone to cut down a tree on contract, I can't dictate their tool of choice - only that it complies with what's necessary to complete the work. There are plenty of fair criticisms of Uber. This isn't one.
