I'll have to see the workflow but I find it incredibly annoying to have tickets that you may or may not be able to put in the Wallet and maybe we'll send them to you a week before the event when you're traveling. Understand about airline checkins but keeping mental track of things like theater tickets or timed museum entries is really annoyinmg.
iOS 27 is adding a 'Create a Pass' button to Apple Wallet

#42IMO one of the cool things about Wallet is the notification that appears on the homescreen when you're in proximity of the venue or time of the event and automatically displays the pass when tapped. I wonder if "create your own" will be able to do that (I'm not sure how it would)?
Just enter the location and time in question as part of creating the pass?
For one, the article doesn't suggest that this will indeed be allowed as a part of that process. OTOH: it's easy for a flight ticket pass (which has time and airport location) but not for a gym membership pass (time can be anything and the gym can have several locations.)

#43It's kind of nice that I can put my Safeway and Soopercard in there now, but that still means having to scan the barcode, and frankly it's less cumbersome to just hand my physical card to the cashier. The only store that seems to have figured out how to automatically add their card to NFC payments is Maverik gas stations.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
It does, but then it's buried in your photos instead of on the home screen.
Most tickets don’t just come with a QR, it has other information like seating/metadata not in the QR that can only be captured in a photo.
Interesting. Do you have examples of such data or any pointers. I always take screenshots of the wallet pass and they seem to work fine.

#45I’ve always felt like Wallet is mostly a solution in search of a problem, but maybe more adoption will help? I don’t really believe that places that require membership cards are going to let users start creating their own, though.
I don't really think of it as an app; I think of it as the "double-tap side button to do tap to pay or present my ticket" iPhone feature

#46I paid 0.99 for some 3rd party app to do that for me years ago. It still seems to work.
And I'll still need it because I doubt I'll be switching to 26 or 27 any time soon.
Edit: Pass2UWallet is the name of the app I'm using if anyone cares. I'm not getting a commission for that yadda yadda doo.

#47What is a "pass" in that context?

#48This is just parity with google wallet, right? AFAICT my library card in google wallet is just a generic card/pass type.
Google wallet did this from day one.

#49Could someone explain what a "pass" is in this context?
Entry ticket, basically. I went to Olympic Natl park recently and had the pass added to my Apple Wallet.

#50Who's to say the business that issued the ticket will accept your homemade imitation? with "adjustable styles, images, colors, and text fields"?
