Russia is a growingly irrelevant country

You’d think an Apple-focused periodical would realize it’s not about being first. Or even know anything about the subject matter and realize CarPlay integration like this is likely never coming to Tesla.

@Ihatescreennames I agree with you 100% I’ve followed this topic closely for a long time. My main “concern” (nothing at all related to Apple) is that the consortium of folks who put together the ISO (more at link below) were a bunch of administrat…

Anytime AI posts something about Digital ID, I visit this section to see how many comments it took to get to the low-info, ill-informed “No way am I giving my phone to a policeman!” comment. … lol, we got there quick this time! Anyhow, I remain s…

I’m skeptical — of the ISO 18013-5 standard itself, not Apple’s implementation thereof. I think Apple is doing its best to play a bad hand that the government dealt. I also suspect it’s going to take a very, very long time for anyone to be able to …

Amazing how people just pontificate about topics on which they have literally zero industry knowledge.

Btw, I feel sorry for LA citizens … they financed an app development studio in Baton Rouge to create some proprietary ID system and now this Apple/Google standard is here. I imagine LA is in for similar experience as we saw with Apple Pay vs. other…

Good article — it’s definitely going to be a decade+ until you can reliably leave your plastic ID at home. An Android developer involved with the ISO standard on which this is based posted this: https://github.com/google/mdl-ref-apps It’s an app…

I’d really like to see Apple offer a validation app (for both Android and iOS) so that Rental Car places // grocery stores // etc. … start the long, slow process of getting non-government places to understand how to accept digital IDs.

Also supports Siri commands as long as the app is open (even in the background)

darkvader said: Apple & Google's biggest screwup with this was in waiting for states to implement apps. They should have just turned it on with a single worldwide rollout, with no mechanism for states to opt out, let alone have to develo…

Man, Mac Mini used to go years between refreshes … suddenly, it’s getting upgraded every 10 months!

If it could just stop deleting my short term app data, that’d be sweet

Some of the HomeKit API restrictions, etc. are super bizarre … think of AppleTV apps — any super cool ones you can think of? Plop.
