The iPhone is very popular in China, but many still seem unfamiliar with the iCloud service that comes bundled with it, as was the case of a cabbie who kept a customer's iPhone.

A woman from Qingdao, Shandong province lost her iPhone in a taxi in Beijing. She didn't try to contact the taxi driver since she didn't keep the ticket which had the taxi information on it.

However, photos of the taxi driver started appearing on her iCloud account. It turned out he was using her missing iPhone which he had found in his car.

She soon claimed her phone from the taxi company based on his working tag in the iCloud photo stream.
