If you always carry something with you, everywhere, it's your iPhone. Getting to become your virtual wallet.
In the future it is planned that, in addition to being able to carry credit cards, we can carry ID cards on the iPhone Yes to We add to this that we can also carry point cards from different businesses on our mobile, in the future we may not have the need to carry our sometimes annoying wallet.
You can carry your ID on your iPhone
Today you can leave your cards at home because you carry them on your iPhone.
The Apple Pay has become popular thanks to its convenience and effectiveness.
In addition to credit and debit cards we can also store boarding passes, movie tickets,
But can you imagine being able to leave your entire wallet at home?
You can't currently add your ID, passport or driver's license to Wallet, but Apple is working on it.
A patent application is made public
Apple wants you to stop carrying your wallet everywhere.
Now you can leave your cards at home, now all you need is the rest of the documentation.
And those from Cupertino have gotten to work. In March he applied for a patent for you to carry your ID on youriPhone .
Take advantage of NFC technology to store information. And to be able to transmit it to specific devices of the security forces and bodies.
This involves a complex security system in order to store this crucial information.
It seems that the key is in a biometric encryption system that should be able to prevent forgeries or duplicates
Apple needs time to get it
Some documents such as e-Passports and some identification documents already contain an NFC chip to transmit and store information.
With this and the biometric encryption technology we would take the first steps to be able to forget about the wallet.
For Apple to be able to digitize these documents, it must negotiate with the governments of each country.
And if you also want to digitize the passport, you will need a consensus from several of them.
Sea as it was is an arduous task that lies ahead. But it is one more step forward so that we have all our documentation centralized in one device.
At the moment it is just a patent, which does not have to be carried out, but if it is carried out we think that Apple it would take time to achieve it.
