The smartphone has become the centralized hub for payment and even vaccine certificate storage given the device's ubiquity, so the Apple Wallet ID feature is now being rolled out to help take things a step further. The digital wallet feature is officially being rolled out in Arizona where iPhone users will be able to add their Driver's License or State ID in a few simple steps. Users only need to submit a selfie and photos of their physical cards to enable them to store their IDs in the Apple Wallet app for easy identity verification, airline screening and more.
The launch of the Apple Wallet ID feature will see identification confirmation transition into a wireless payment experience where users only need to tap before confirming their identity using biometric security features.
