Apple's Latest Update Will Change the Way You Travel
Apple's Latest Update Will Change the Way You Travel originally appeared on Parade.
Traveling with just your iPhone is about to get a lot easier — but not entirely paper-free.
Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in Cupertino, Calif., on Monday that, as part of the upcoming iOS 26 update, users will be able to create a digital ID using their passport in Apple Wallet starting this fall.
That means travelers may soon have one less thing to juggle at the airport — at least for those traveling within the United States.
According to TechCrunch, the update will allow users to hold a digital version of their passport. Boarding passes will also gain new features that promise to make traveling a little bit easier — such as links to terminal maps and to Find My, which will allow users to track the progress of their AirTagged luggage.
When traveling internationally, however, travelers must still present their physical passport at customs and border checkpoints.
Domestic travelers are in luck. According toUSA Today, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confirmed that a digital passport will be accepted at security screenings for domestic travel.
The iOS 26 update will be released for testing June 9 through the Apple Developer Program, and a public beta version will be released through the Apple Beta Software Program next month, Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the close of the keynote presentation.
The operating system will officially be available as an update for iPhone 11 and later this fall.

PS5 System Update to Add Major Controller Feature Soon
In a rare move, Sony has teased plans for a new that improves DualSense controller functionality. More specifically, the update will make it easy and less time consuming to pair the controller with multiple devices. It's not often that Sony talks about upcoming system software updates until they're about to launch or hit beta, so it was a bit surprising to see the new DualSense feature teased in a tweet. 'Want to pair your DualSense controller to multiple devices at once? An update planned for later this year enhances pairing functionality,' the official PlayStation X account wrote. No further details were announced, but Sony asked players to 'stay tuned' for more information. While most people are expecting the new feature to target simultaneous PS5 and PC pairing, DualSense is also compatible with other devices, like Apple products including iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV. Players should then be able to use the same DualSense with all their devices without having to resynchronize it when swapping back and forth. We'll learn more about how the function will work in due course. Sony didn't provide a release date for the update but it'll be out in 2025.
