Now we just need the ability to add custom NFC/RFID passes in the Wallet app for workplace doors/lifts/etc.
I would love to see that. No more forgetting the office RFID card

#122Finally! An option to override automatic (un)archival of passes is also desperately needed. Some passes just don’t expire based on time, and too many pass creators are too incompetent to put the correct time in even if they do. Airlines in particular are prone to things like using local time in a field expecting UTC, which has made boarding passes auto-archive hours before leaving for the airport for me…
Wallet → … → Expired → Edit → Select All → Eyeball (!) → Unhide.
Doesn't help with the "automatic" part, but I try to remember to do this every few months.

#123The wallet app UI is the peak of Apple's 'single 20y/o in sf' design. Anyone that has multiple card from the same bank (because, say, you have a personal account and a shared account with your partner) has to do the "pick between the two identical looking top 20px of cards" dance every time they use Wallet to pay for something. It is mind-boggling that the current UI persists.
The same is true in a physical card wallet. An 80 year old with early onset challenges can work this wallet, pick a card, and then hold the phone to the reader at a store. It's all co-opting "familiar" actions for them, not tech-like, which means they can do it. The biggest UX issue Apple has for that persona isn't the wallet, it's the lack of physical home button. Everyone in their 70s and up seems to be given pause…
If you have multiple cards with the same bank you'll need to remember the last 4 digits. It's total bs

#124Earlier quoted context omitted.
A generic name for a collection of things used to gain access to something. That’s not really helping explain it, so here’s some examples: Airplane tickets, library membership barcode, sports tickets, loyalty cards for your local coffee shop, conference tickets, etc. Essentially anything with a barcode first and foremost. The website that this blog is about allows you to generate your own passes.
I literally don't get what this new feature is adding or why it would be part of an iPhone wallet. If you want to issue tickets is your wallet the most obvious place to do it from? Why would an airline issue tickets from an iPhone? Or, if this is just for storing tickets issued by other people, why does it benefit from going into the wallet app?
This is for storing tickets issued by other people.
It's handy because it provides an organizational tool. Airplane tickets are in wallet, concert tickets are in wallet. Maybe ferry passes and store discount ids should be too.
And also because you get better results from scanning a regenerated 2d/3d barcode after decoding the original vs scanning a photo of the original.

This has been one of my peeves for years . Apple is capable of good design, and overall is well regarded for it, but there are a number of places where they have blinders on and absolutely refuse to fix extremely obvious missteps.
You say good. I'd call it minimal. Minimal doesn't mean good.
For example, I have bold text, larger text. On my mac I have all these contrast increasing settings enabled, simply because it's *not* good "design"
It's good that it's minimal, but this minimalism is also why many things don't work (timemachine, icloud files/photos -> everything needs to be automatic, causing recurring downloads follewed cache eviction of those files). Etc etc etc

apple is a masterclass of terrible uis and hidden interactions

#127This rules, I hope they don't botch it. All I need is the ability to save a custom image, maybe with an optional expiration date. Then I could add all my insurance cards and concert tickets that are not already compatible.

#128IMO 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)?
I'm a fan of Wallet Creator (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wallet-creator/id1486573384)
Zero dollars, lets you geofence passes when you create them.

#129What a relief. My awful workaround was photos of all my membership barcodes labeled with a sharpie so that I can search "Gym" or "Library" or whatever to pull them up from OCR indexing.
Just get https://supercardsapp.com/ and be done with it. It's most likely way better than the new Apple Wallet

#130Damn; PassWallet just got Sherlocked.
