Try CardPointers - https://cardpointers.com/fern93 Apple Wallet has quietly become one of the most important apps on the iPhone. What started as just Apple Pay has evolved into a hub for transit cards, Apple Cash, Tap to Pay, digital keys, saved credit card information, and so much more. In this video, I’m breaking down the Apple Wallet features I genuinely use every single day, why some of them feel futuristic, and a few things Apple still desperately needs to fix. From subway taps in NYC to unlocking doors and sending payments through iMessage, Apple Wallet is slowly replacing more and more of the things we carry every day.

Express transit + Visa is a known security hole, even on a locked phone.
Wish more states would allow ID/Licenses
I want to only bring my iPhone for my wallet but there are some stores, restaurants, and gas stations (at the pumps) that doesn’t accept Apple Pay
Love that Express Transit Card option!
dude makes more videos on wallet than he makes on any single other topic.

Need this in the UK!!
Express transit on Apple Watch. Tap your wrist and go. No need to take your phone from your pocket. It was so great to use on trains and busses in Japan! Worked almost everywhere.
Places that don’t take tap to pay options make sure that move a challenge.
Apple Pay on london transport has been around since like 2015, express travel since 2023. But people STILL wait until they get to the barrier, to unlock, search for card, scan FaceID then scan during rush hour. WHAT? even if my phone dies after a night out and i need to get a night bus home, it works for 6 hours
Shout out to Bayonne!
That wallpaper is GAAAAAAY!
Do not store any credit cards on your phone. Use cash.
I use the wallet regularly, mostly for Apple Pay, but it's also good that I have my insurance cards there. I like in Kentucky and strangely, they have their own app for a digital drivers license but don't allow it on Apple wallet.
Georgia has DDL but you are still required to carry the physical card when driving.
My state was supposed to allow iD in Apple Wallet back in summer 2025 and still nothing, would be nice to have everything on apple wallet and be able to access it with Apple watch then always have everything with ya
🐬 Love Apple Wallet. I wish my state had Digital Drivers License.
Would love to leave my wallet at home, except for the fact that Florida absolutely refuses to let me put my driver's license in AW.
None of this is new. In fact most of these features have been around for years
I’d pass on the IDs
