Now you can add digital ID to Apple Wallet: big update for iPhone users
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 9, 2025, 23:08 IST Apple is rolling out a significant upgrade to the Wallet app this fall, allowing users to add a digital ID based on their passport directly to their iPhone. This update, announced at WWDC 2025, brings added convenience for travelers and sets the stage for smoother identity verification at airports. Apple Wallet to support digital ID for travel With this new feature, iPhone users will be able to store their passport-based digital ID in Apple Wallet, which can then be used at participating airports, including TSA checkpoints and other secure travel points. The aim is to eliminate the need for physical ID cards or paper documents, streamlining airport security and check-in processes. Why this matters: relevance to Digi Yatra in India This move comes at a time when India is also pushing for digital transformation at airports through the Digi Yatra initiative. Digi Yatra enables paperless and contactless air travel using biometric and facial recognition technologies. The introduction of digital ID in Apple Wallet complements such efforts, potentially allowing iPhone users in India to integrate their passport or verified identity for Digi Yatra-based check-ins in the future, subject to official integration and approvals. As both Apple and Indian aviation authorities move toward secure digital identity systems, this update could accelerate the adoption of digital boarding experiences in India and globally. Privacy-focused and secure Apple ensures that the digital ID feature is encrypted, stored on-device, and not shared without user permission. This aligns with the company's ongoing commitment to user privacy and data security. The digital ID in Wallet will begin rolling out this fall, starting with select regions and expanding over time in collaboration with government and airport partners.

Major updates in Live Translation: feature works without iPhone, API support for developers
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 9, 2025, 23:07 IST Apple has announced a significant leap in real-time language support with the introduction of Live Translation in iOS 26 — and the big news is: it works even when the other person doesn't have an iPhone. Apple WWDC 2025 live: Live Translation breaks the iPhone-only barrier With Live Translation, users can now have real-time conversations across languages, even when the other person is using a non-Apple device. This update removes a long-standing limitation, making the feature more inclusive and globally useful. The tool uses on-device intelligence and works seamlessly with AirPods, allowing users to listen and understand foreign languages on the go — from travel to casual conversations. Apple WWDC 2025 live: API support opens door for developers Apple also introduced a new Live Translation API, allowing third-party developers to integrate translation features into their apps. This gives travel, education, customer service, and messaging apps access to Apple's real-time translation engine with privacy and performance benefits of on-device processing. This is part of Apple's broader push under Apple Intelligence to expand its language and accessibility tools across the entire ecosystem.

Apple says Apple Intelligence rollout will take more time to meet its standards
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 9, 2025, 22:42 IST Apple has just shared two major updates on its highly anticipated Apple Intelligence platform during WWDC 2025. While the company is moving forward with deeper integration of AI across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, it also acknowledged a delay in the broader rollout of its AI-powered experiences. Apple WWDC 2025 live: Apple Intelligence rollout delayed Apple confirmed that its Apple Intelligence system will take more time to fully launch, as the company works to meet its internal standards for privacy, performance, and on-device intelligence. The announcement signals that while some features may begin appearing this year, a full rollout is expected to extend into 2026, depending on device compatibility and regional availability. This delay underscores Apple's cautious approach to generative AI — focusing on on-device inference, data security, and user transparency rather than rushing out incomplete tools. Apple WWDC 2025 live: Developers to get Apple Intelligence API In a significant move, Apple also revealed that developers will now be able to integrate Apple Intelligence into their apps using a new framework. Known as the Foundation Models framework (shown in the image), this new tool will allow developers to tap into Apple's AI capabilities — from summarization to image generation — within their third-party applications. This opens the door to a wide array of intelligent app experiences while keeping Apple's on-device privacy model intact. Apple is positioning this framework as part of its long-term vision for AI — not only enhancing its own apps like Mail, Notes, and Safari, but also empowering developers to build smarter, privacy-first tools for Apple users globally.
