The latest round includes the $1 billion investment Apple made in Didi Chuxing last month, part of a total $4.5 billion in equity investments. It also raised $2.5 billion in debt. That brings the company's total cash on hand to more than $10 billion.

That's a lot of cash to keep the pressure on Uber.
