iOS 27 lets iPhone and Apple Watch users create Apple Wallet passes from physical cards, membership cards and event tickets, extending Wallet beyond issuer-provided digital passes.
Apple said users can scan a barcode-bearing physical card or a screenshot of a digital pass with the Camera app’s Siri mode, or add a pass directly inside Wallet.
Once imported, the pass can be presented from an iPhone or Apple Watch as a barcode or QR code, reducing the need to carry separate cards or paper tickets.
The change broadens Wallet’s push to replace physical wallets, which already store payment cards, IDs, transit cards, boarding passes and digital keys.
