Apple Wallet has recently enhanced its functionality, now supporting features such as digital IDs, home keys, credit cards, and order tracking. A significant addition is the support for Apple car key, allowing users to control their vehicles using their iPhones or Apple Watches. Notably, Toyota has joined the list of automakers enabling this feature, beginning with its latest RAV4 model, with plans for further integration across more vehicles.
In addition to car keys, the home key feature provides users the capability to unlock doors through the Wallet app. The newly released Aqara Smart Lock U400 introduces Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, enhancing the auto-lock and unlock experience with improved precision. Furthermore, iOS 26 introduced upgraded boarding passes, with new capabilities like luggage tracking and live activities, recently adopted by American Airlines.
Looking ahead, the University of Texas will implement digital student IDs in the Wallet app, although this service will not be available until the 2027-2028 academic year. Meanwhile, Porsche is set to launch support for Apple car key soon, starting with its 2026 electric Macan and Cayenne models.
