Apple iOS 15 Wallet App New Content Experience: Digital ID, Family Key, Car Key, Archived Documents
foreign media MacRumors reported that Apple has taken another step to replace traditional wallets in iOS 15. It has added several new features to its digital wallet application, allowing people to keep physical cards and keys. Behind.
This guide highlights all the new features of the wallet app in iOS 15, but it is worth noting that many of these features rely on wallet support from third-party companies and services.
Digital ID
In the United States, Apple is working with state authorities to allow iPhone users to add their driver’s license or state ID to the wallet application, which will allow digital IDs to be used instead of physical IDs.
Apple is also working with TSA to allow digital IDs to be used at TSA checkpoints, which can be shown to TSA personnel before boarding.
The ID card stored on the iPhone can also be recalled on the Apple Watch.
Apple said that the digital ID will be launched in selected states first, but we do not yet know which states. Apple must ensure that it has reached an agreement with each state to allow the wallet to be used to store ID cards or driver’s licenses. The states agree that this feature will take some time.
Key storage
In iOS 15, Apple hopes to replace the standard physical key with a digital version of the key, which can be used directly from the wallet app.
All of these key features require affiliates to implement support, and these features will not be available immediately upon the launch of iOS 15.
Family
Companies that make HomeKit-compatible locks may add support for wallet-based house keys that can be used to click to unlock HomeKit door locks.
The Family Key will be provided in the Wallet app and can be accessed on the iPhone and Apple Watch.
Office
Corporate offices can also implement a digital key for Wallet application, allowing employees to unlock the lock by tapping on an iPhone or Apple Watch, rather than in a location that requires a corporate badge to enter.
hotel
Attending hotels using digital keys allow participating customers to add these keys to the Wallet application after booking, allowing them to bypass the lobby.
The digital hotel key stored in the Wallet application can be used to unlock a hotel room. After you check out, the hotel room key will be automatically stored.
car
Apple has introduced a Car Key function that allows you to unlock the car with a key stored in the Wallet app, but in iOS 15, Apple is implementing UWB ultra-wideband support to achieve accurate spatial perception.
Improved spatial perception can prevent the iPhone from turning off in the car, or the car not starting when the iPhone is not in the car.
iOS 15 also adds support for locking or unlocking the car, blowing the horn, heating the car, or opening the trunk. When you’re near the car, the control options are in the Wallet app.
BMW is currently the only car manufacturer that implements car key support, and the feature needs to be adopted by the carmaker for it to be effective.

Expired boarding passes and event tickets are automatically removed from the Wallet app and placed in the “expired” section, so you no longer have to manually delete them or deal with dirty old passes.
There is an option to “Hide expired passes” in the Wallet & Apple Pay section of the Settings app. It’s on by default, but you can also turn it off if you want to keep your pass.
Multiple Document Downloads
Safari allows you to download multiple passes to the Wallet app at once, so if you buy movie tickets or zoo tickets for the whole family, you can download them to Wallet all at once instead of downloading one pass every time. can.

According to the most recent Mixpanel data, iPhone users are adopting iOS 16 faster than they did iOS 15 last year. Statistics show that 23.26% of iPhones have iOS 16 installed nine days after its release.
10 days after the official release of iOS 15, the install rate was only 19.3%, when iPhone users seemed more reluctant to upgrade due to some early bugs. The official version of iOS 16 introduces more visual changes and is more attractive.
Take a Look here:
Currently, Apple allows iPhone users to continue using iOS 15.7 through security updates, rather than a mandatory upgrade to iOS 16. Apple did the same branching route when it released iOS 15 last year, allowing people to continue using iOS 14 for about four months after the update was released. The upcoming iOS 16.1 official update will add some notable features, such as real-time activity on the lock screen and changes to the battery percentage in the status bar.
Despite the growing popularity of iOS 16, 66.96% of iPhones are still running iOS 15, while 9.77% are running older versions of iOS. Mixpanel’s data is derived from visits to websites and apps that use Mixpanel’s analytics SDK.

Apple today pushed the iOS / iPadOS 15.4.1 update (build number: 19E258) to iPhone and iPad users, which fixes the problem that the previous iOS 15.4 battery drained too quickly.
According to media reports, the power consumption of the official version of iOS 15.4 has caused dissatisfaction among many users. Many iPhone owners have said that before upgrading to the official version of iOS 15.4, Apple 13promax can be fully charged every day. However, after upgrading to the official version of iOS 15.4, the battery life is only about half a day. It must be charged twice a day, and the fever is also very serious.
iOS 15.4.1 includes bug fixes and security updates for iPhone and is recommended for all users. When you see this, you can update your iPhone by going to Settings, General, and then Software Update.
From the official update instructions, this update mainly contains the following three improvements for the iPhone:
- After updating to iOS 15.4, the battery may drain faster than expected
- Braille devices may not respond when navigating text or displaying reminders
- Hearing aids for iPhone may lose connectivity in some third-party apps
Additionally, iOS and iPadOS 15.4.1 fixes an issue with AppleAVD that could allow apps with kernel privileges to execute arbitrary code. Apple said that this vulnerability could be widely exploited, so it is expected that all users will update their new systems as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that this update comes almost two weeks after the release of the new iPhone SE and iOS 15.4, which could be the last major feature update before iOS 16. iOS 15.4 enables users to use Face ID while wearing a mask, introduces a gender-neutral US English voice for Siri, adds tons of new emojis, and more.
Apple today released iPadOS 15.4.1, watchOS 8.5.1, and tvOS 15.4.1 along with other bug fixes and security updates, but they also added support for the Apple Business Essentials program. Apple calls Business Essentials “a full subscription that seamlessly combines device management, 24/7 support, and cloud storage.”
