iOS 26 will bridge the gap with digital IDs in Apple Wallet thanks to this new addition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-03-26 08:12:39

Yesterday at WWDC25, Apple announced a new addition to the Wallet app that’ll certainly bridge the gap when it comes to digital ID adoption in the United States: support for passports. Apple announced Drivers Licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet back with iOS 15 in 2021, but since then, it’s only rolled out to a handful of US states. Apple currently supports 9 US states plus Puerto Rico, and will soon add 3 more. Still, 12 is far short of all 50 US states. Soon, however, Apple will introduce suppo

Apple releases special haptic trailer for F1 movie, feel the engine roar with your iPhone vibrations

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2026-03-26 16:44:51

Apple is continuing its marketing onslaught for the F1 movie, which arrives in US cinemas on June 27. Apple has released a new trailer in the TV app for the film, but this one has a twist. Apple calls it a “haptic trailer”. What they means is as you watch, your phone vibrates in sync with the video. For F1, that means you can feel the roar of the car’s engine in your hands as Brad Pitt races it around the track. Here’s how it works … To try out the haptic trailer, you need an iPhone running iO

Apple categorically denies Siri vaporware claims, and offers a better explanation [Video]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-26 18:31:31

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year There’s no denying that Apple made a major mis-step when it showed off impressive new Siri features during last year’s WWDC, before doubling-down in an iPhone 16 ad. The company was forced to delete the ad and walk back the timing. That led even the most upbeat of Apple commenters to criticize the company for showing off “vaporware,” implying that the demos had been faked. But two Apple execs have now categorically denied this, a

With the announcement of iPadOS 26, Apple has finally done something it had seemed to be resisting for well over a decade: turning the iPad into a computer. Apple has long sent mixed messages about the device, sometimes arguing that it is a computer, and other times arguing that iPads and Macs are two very different devices with two very different roles … The iPad was not a computer On the one hand, as far back as 2017 Apple ran the What’s a computer? ad campaign, essentially arguing that the
