But Apple's investment is the single biggest infusion of cash in the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ride-hailing company says it has 300 million customers in 400 cities, and claims to hold \"over 87 percent market share in private car-hailing and over 99 percent market share in taxi-hailing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'A Chance To Learn More' About China\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple has hit some trouble in the Chinese market recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/22/475240876/apple-s-movies-and-books-services-are-closed-in-china\">as we reported on the Two-Way\u003c/a>, China shut down Apple's movie and book stores on iTunes — after they'd been open only for about six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in general, Apple is vulnerable to changes of heart in China, as NPR's Aarti Shahani \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/04/29/476203963/apples-lousy-week-could-signal-times-of-trouble-for-tech-giant\">reported two weeks ago\u003c/a>. That's one reason billionaire investor Carl Icahn dropped his shares in Apple, Shahani said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Apple is really dependent on China. It's the second-largest market after the U.S., and Icahn says the Chinese government could suddenly change its mind, close the doors and make it very difficult for Apple to sell there,\" she explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, lower sales in China contributed to Apple's first revenue drop in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple CEO Tim Cook \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-china-idUSKCN0Y404W\">told Reuters\u003c/a> that the company saw the investment in Didi Chuxing as \"a chance to learn more about certain segments of the China market,\" as well as an opportunity to make a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And analyst Ben Bajarin told the wire service that the move is also an investment in Apple's relationship with the Chinese government. Here's Reuters again:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\" 'This is as much about sending signals about their seriousness in that country as it is about helping Didi build a ride-sharing platform,' [Bajarin] said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Didi Chuxing is a poster child for Chinese technology, a critical sector in Beijing's goal to shift the economy toward higher-value services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Didi Chuxing executives have met with some of China's top leaders, including President Xi Jinping last December.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Another industry expert, Mark Natkin, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/14/technology/apple-uber-didi-chuxing.html?_r=0\">tells the New York Times\u003c/a> that \"making a sizable investment in a leading Chinese I.T. company will buy [Apple] a lot of good will.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook will be heading to China later this month on a high-profile visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's Driving An Investment In Ride-Hailing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, other industry-watchers were struck by the fact that the investment — the largest Apple has made \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-invests-1-billion-in-didi-ubers-rival-in-china-1463106590\">since acquiring Beats Electronics in 2014\u003c/a> — was in a ride-hailing app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple's potential interest in the transportation sector, particularly in self-driving cars, has been the topic of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/02/21/387906258/apple-must-think-different-on-cars-or-join-ranks-of-failed-new-brands\">many rumors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-apple-china-didi-20160512-snap-story.html\">The Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> reports on potential connections to cutting a deal with Didi Chuxing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Chinese analysts also speculate that Apple might be interested in tapping Didi's massive trove of data on ride-hailing and car usage to inform Apple's own development of a high-tech, self-driving car, which has long been rumored. Map services are another conceivable area of cooperation.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cook told Reuters that, for now, when it comes to the car business, Apple was focused on the CarPlay system for linking smartphones to car dashboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will have to see what the future holds,\" he told the wire service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>This year's tax day marks a historic event for one group of Americans: April 18 will be the first time that every married same-sex couple in the country can file both their federal and state taxes together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's something Colleen and Linda Squires have been waiting for a long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They met in Boston in November 1986 and held a commitment ceremony in 1992. They waited until 2004 — 12 years — before Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We totally picked the right state to be in,\" Linda says. \"You know, it's not something I ever thought I would see in my lifetime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant that they could file their Massachusetts state taxes, but not their federal taxes, as a married couple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward to 2012. The Squires moved to Michigan, where Colleen was called to serve as a pastor for a Unitarian church in Grand Rapids. Michigan did not recognize their Massachusetts marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was the person in the room that could actually perform weddings,\" Colleen recalls. \"But my marriage to Linda was not seen as a legal marriage in the state we lived in now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, Colleen and Linda were back to filing state and federal taxes as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/474074479/474185187\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But their status changed again in 2013, when the Supreme Court struck down the federal portions of the Defense of Marriage Act. That allowed same-sex couples to file federal taxes as would any married couple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still couldn't file their Michigan state taxes together — until the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/26/417717613/supreme-court-rules-all-states-must-allow-same-sex-marriages\">legalized same-sex marriage across the land\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this tax day is the first time in nearly 30 years together they can actually file as a married couple for both federal and state taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It meant a lot, Colleen says. \"It's acknowledgement or treating us equally,\" she says. \"We've been together for so long. It was feeling like we were respected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are thousands of married same-sex couples for whom this tax year is a major step toward simplicity — before 2015, filing taxes was a real nightmare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, if a couple lived in a state that did not recognize their marriage, a same-sex couple would have to file one federal return as married and two separate state returns as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because some state returns were based on the information given to the feds, a same-sex couple also would have to draw up two mock federal returns as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The entire process was so frustrating and nonsensical,\" says Robin Maril, a tax policy expert and senior legislative counsel for the Human Rights Campaign, which is based in Washington, D.C. Maril's wife teaches tax law and does their taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would definitely come home from work and she would be almost in tears,\" Maril says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now same-sex couples face some of the same decisions as heterosexual couples. For instance, what happens when filing jointly pushes you into a higher tax bracket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That happened to David Lantrip and his husband in Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a little bit of a surprise to both of us,\" Lantrip says about discovering that filing jointly as a married couple meant paying higher taxes. They weren't happy about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lantrip says it's a small price for the legal protections of marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The peace of mind and the satisfaction is really what was important,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now couples can also file amended tax returns for a state refund reaching back three years. But as with many tax-related issues, it's best to consult an expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

The Squires moved to Michigan, where Colleen was called to serve as a pastor for a Unitarian church in Grand Rapids. Michigan did not recognize their Massachusetts marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was the person in the room that could actually perform weddings,\" Colleen recalls. \"But my marriage to Linda was not seen as a legal marriage in the state we lived in now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, Colleen and Linda were back to filing state and federal taxes as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/474074479/474185187\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But their status changed again in 2013, when the Supreme Court struck down the federal portions of the Defense of Marriage Act. That allowed same-sex couples to file federal taxes as would any married couple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still couldn't file their Michigan state taxes together — until the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/26/417717613/supreme-court-rules-all-states-must-allow-same-sex-marriages\">legalized same-sex marriage across the land\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this tax day is the first time in nearly 30 years together they can actually file as a married couple for both federal and state taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It meant a lot, Colleen says. \"It's acknowledgement or treating us equally,\" she says. \"We've been together for so long. It was feeling like we were respected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are thousands of married same-sex couples for whom this tax year is a major step toward simplicity — before 2015, filing taxes was a real nightmare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, if a couple lived in a state that did not recognize their marriage, a same-sex couple would have to file one federal return as married and two separate state returns as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because some state returns were based on the information given to the feds, a same-sex couple also would have to draw up two mock federal returns as if they were single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The entire process was so frustrating and nonsensical,\" says Robin Maril, a tax policy expert and senior legislative counsel for the Human Rights Campaign, which is based in Washington, D.C. Maril's wife teaches tax law and does their taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would definitely come home from work and she would be almost in tears,\" Maril says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now same-sex couples face some of the same decisions as heterosexual couples. For instance, what happens when filing jointly pushes you into a higher tax bracket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That happened to David Lantrip and his husband in Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a little bit of a surprise to both of us,\" Lantrip says about discovering that filing jointly as a married couple meant paying higher taxes. They weren't happy about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lantrip says it's a small price for the legal protections of marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The peace of mind and the satisfaction is really what was important,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now couples can also file amended tax returns for a state refund reaching back three years. But as with many tax-related issues, it's best to consult an expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.
