Summary
iOS 27 adds Apple Cash bill splitting for US users, letting eligible devices scan a receipt, assign items, calculate tax and tip, and settle up through Apple Cash.
Apple is also expanding Wallet’s core utility by turning physical barcode cards and screenshots of digital cards into passes that can be stored on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Apple Pay’s redesigned online and in-app checkout lets users switch cards more easily and, where supported, view rewards balances, debit balances and pay-later options before paying.
Tap to Share connects customers with participating merchants’ iPhones to share contact, shipping and loyalty details, while showing basket items and applied discounts in real time.
The update pushes Wallet beyond payments into everyday travel and checkout tasks, including richer hotel keys with trip details and on-stay services at participating properties.
