Digital ID offers a secure and private way for users to create an ID in Apple Wallet using information from their U.S. passport, and present their ID with iPhone or Apple Watch
Yeah I’m not gonna enable that.
What’s crazy to me is how many people will enable it. Like wtf?!
Devil’s advocate: if you carry an iPhone (and you’re even moderately bought into the ecosystem), they already know who you are, where you go, and what you do. There’s nothing on a standard identity document that they don’t already have.
I could see this being a real convenience if you did a lot of travel. When I travel domestically, the only thing that I use my physical wallet for is my ID.
This is true. I actually don’t carry my phone most of the time when I go out, just for this reason.
