Apple wants iPhone to be proof of identity and replace passports
The paper passport isn't going away anytime soon. The US has a "passport card" (credit-card size) but that's accepted ONLY for land-border crossings to Canada and Mexico.

Surrender, Detroit! Automakers should give in and develop native apps for CarPlay
Two comments:
1. wireless CarPlay is great. Very new BMWs have it and it works very well
2. "Maps" is broken because there is no way to get to your contacts. They're not available through "Destinations", only the places you've recently been, etc. This might be OK if "Contacts" were available on the home screen but it's not. What gives, Apple ??
I did find one exceedingly clunky workaround. Start by going to "Phone" and in there navigate to contacts. Find the one you want, scroll down to where you put the address and click it. This will take you to the address in Maps. A real pain.
p.s. if you have CarPlay active, the BMW-native navigation won't access contacts in your iPhone. It tells you to go to CarPlay. -

pakitt said:Germany, Germany....
