Apple reveals first states to use Apple Wallet for ID, driver's licence
I find a digital drivers license excellent. On most days I don’t carry a wallet at all. Just pay from phone and watch, and drivers license on phone.ravnorodom said:It would be a good backup in case I left my wallet at home. It happens.Not needing a wallet is excellent.I wonder if they’ll switch to apple’s implementation now.It did get me in trouble a few times. I have had to withdraw cash for a couple of shops (luckily a cardless-cash atm was nearby). And I went to a hospital and the parking wouldn’t accept tap-to-pay, so I had to write an iou and come back the next day with cash. Also some cards in your wallet have no alternative yet.

Compared: iPhone 12 mini versus iPhone 11 versus iPhone SE
Nice comparison.Note: the table showing the rear cameras is backwards for iPhone 11 and 12mini.

Apple wants your iPhone to replace your passport and driver's license
We have this for drivers license in NSW Australia currently.

It's great having the License on the phone, and since 99.9% of shops accept tap-and-go (Apple Pay) I now leave home without my wallet half the time, and it's reducing.Knowing I can call it up (& other licenses) is useful. I pay for almost everything with my Apple Watch, but there is still one great Sushi shop near work that doesn't take cards. -

Is the Apple API ready to go? I thought it was getting released sometime this month.

Apple responds to viral tweet over disappearing iTunes movies
Yes. True for Bluray too.arthurba said:
But the same would have been true if the movie was purchased on DVD. Here in OZ the disc would have been Region 4, and a 'standard' DVD player in Canada would be locked to Region 1 and wouldn't play the DVD. So in that sense - iTunes is no different to a DVD. The differences are:1) it's really easy to get an "unlocked" dvd player
2) worse case scenario you can take your Oz DVD player with you to watch your Aussie films
But 4K Bluray has finally removed regions apparently.
