First thing I noticed too, as I have multiple cards from the same bank. I also noticed they show you last digits of the ... CARD number, not the account number which would be tremendously more helpful. But I figured out you can put little icons on the cards. Which my bank did automatically for my business account. I added a little person icon for my personal account. Maybe bank specific though but definitely super du…

That's ridiculous. The card number has nothing to do with the account number.

Yes, that's the problem.

The 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.

I like it. I don't really need 20 cards in my apple wallet, so I just don't ... I just keep what I need like my existing physical wallet (now smaller because of my apple wallet).

What 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.

FYI you can add description text to a photo in the (default) Photos app. Just swipe up and there should be a text box. You can (usually) find a photos based on what you've written

Entry ticket, basically. I went to Olympic Natl park recently and had the pass added to my Apple Wallet.

What's the difference here between adding the "custom pass" and just taking a photo of QR code? Just the fact that it is stored in Wallet instead of photos folder?

In addition to the sibling comment: I really dislike opening my Photos app in front of other people.

just enough to visually distinguish two otherwise visually similar cards. How about a simple, old fashioned text label for each card?

I've tried to come up with the reason they don't do it, and thought MAYBE they were afraid people would put PINs for the cards there and they thought it's a bad idea. I wonder why I even tried to invent a good reason for them, designers could just lack perspective and do not care at all, even in apple.

Why would you save the PIN? It’s not required when doing Wallet transactions - it uses Face ID or similar.

long hold to re-arrange your rearrange what your default card is - but to the bottom of the stack - is dumb

This one seems harder to get right to me. The cards are stacked so that the card further down the screen is the top of the stack (the card overlap indicating which is in front of which). I would guess this was done because if you can only see part of the cards behind, seeing the top of the obscured card is more useful than seeing the bottom.

I could be missing something, but where there is no perfect solution, I want to be slower to say the option they chose is dumb.

Ah, so two+ columns vs one.

I can fully control the location of cards in my physical wallet. The sorting of the Apple Wallet column is a mystery to me. I can probably control it. But I couldn’t tell you how. It also lacks tactile feel. So it’s just not the same. It’s a sloppy mess.

Without wading into your leather vs glass debate: open the Wallet app, press and hold a card, drag up and down as desired.

Now we just need the ability to add custom NFC/RFID passes in the Wallet app for workplace doors/lifts/etc.

God I hope that's included. As silly as it sounds, having NFC inside passes require a custom entitlement/approval from Apple was my breaking point for ditching iOS development altogether. The form for requesting said entitlement was broken (at the time, at least), and I didn't understand why .pkpass files had to be signed at all - I still don't.

Same here - Why are they gating the NFC? There could be a sprawling ecosystem, instead they stifle it !

I didn't know I could do that, so I just gave it a try. First instinct, double tap the side button to open Wallet. Couldn't rearrange the cards there. So,I opened Settings app and couldn't rearrange the cards there. Finally, I opened the Wallet app and found I could rearrange cards there, though there's no visual indicators that I can. I accidentally changed my default card on the first attempt.

The fact that the double-click shortcut opens the Wallet app in a functionally limited but visually identical mode is terrible UI design.

On the other hand, I’d hate to accidentally rearrange my cards while trying to party with an alternate one.
