Apple digital ID cards
When Apple released iOS 15, a new feature was actually the addition of a digital ID to the Wallet app. Although they had previously revealed that several US state chapters recognized the new feature, the launch date has been adjusted. . According to a report from MacRumors, Apple has postponed the original schedule of launch at the end of 2021 to early 2022. However, it is not clear whether Apple will add it in the next major update, that is, iOS 15.2, or wait for other version numbers.
In the application, the iPhone’s digital ID card will store the user’s driver’s license data, and then wirelessly communicate with the TSA law enforcement officer’s machine like Apple Pay during the inspection, without the need to give the entire phone to the other party. As for other agencies or shops that also need to verify their identity, they will expand their support later.
