@ 2021/11/26Refuses to say why
Apple quietly delayed its iOS 15 ID cards feature to 2022 without telling the world why.
The idea was that the taxpayer would help fund Apple when it added a digital version of a driver’s license or state ID to the Apple Wallet, for use when traveling or other times when proof of ID is required.
In September, Apple revealed the first of the states it had come to those agreements with. Connecticut, Arizona, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Utah were the first eight onboard, while the TSA was also looking to use digital ID at “select airport security checkpoints in participating airport”.
