iOS 27 will reportedly add two major new features to Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet to add “Create a Pass” feature and easier bill splitting

Gym membership

Rewards cards for places like restaurants, grocery stores, and more

Concert and event tickets

You’ll reportedly be able to create these passes using the “+” button in the Wallet app, just like how you currently add new credit cards to the app.

You’ll be able to edit styles, images, names, and more to make sure each pass you create is easy to identify.
