A new leak suggests that Apple is planning a comprehensive overhaul of the Wallet app with iOS 27. The focus is particularly on a new function that will make the handling of tickets and QR codes much more flexible. This means that the Apple iPhone could play an even more central role in everyday digital life in future. In addition to extended personalization options, improvements in performance and AI integration are also being discussed.
- “Create a Pass” converts any QR codes into wallet cards
- More personalization through colors, layouts and backgrounds
- Three new templates for tickets, memberships and standard passes
- Further optimizations in performance and AI functions expected
iOS 27 brings new functions for the Apple Wallet app
With iOS 27, not only image editing but also the Wallet app on the Apple iPhone could become significantly more flexible. According to recent reports, it will be possible for the first time to convert almost any QR code directly into a digital pass. This function, apparently referred to internally as “Create a Pass”, would remove a previous restriction: Until now, tickets or access cards can only be stored in the Wallet if providers officially support them.
This restriction is particularly noticeable in Europe, as many services do not offer native wallet integration. The new function would circumvent this hurdle and allow users to digitize concert tickets, cinema tickets or membership cards independently, for example. This brings Apple closer to a functionality that is already known in a similar form from competing platforms.
Another focus is on individualization. Users will be able to visually customize the passports they create – for example with different colors, background images or freely definable text fields. According to the leak, three basic templates are planned for the launch: a standard pass, a variant for memberships and a special layout for tickets. This differentiation seems plausible and is based on typical everyday usage scenarios.
More than just a wallet: iOS 27 focuses on AI and performance
In addition to the revised Wallet app, iOS 27 will also improve in other areas. One focus is apparently on the integration of AI functions. It is expected that Siri will be expanded further in future and possibly appear as an independent app. In addition, the voice assistant could be given access to a more powerful language model in order to better process more complex requests.
The Photos app is also set to receive new AI features that simplify the handling of images. Although specific details are still limited, the further development seems plausible given the current trend towards artificial intelligence. At the same time, Apple is apparently planning to optimize system performance, which could have a positive impact on speed and energy efficiency.
In the context of the wallet improvements, there is a clear trend: the smartphone is increasingly becoming the central interface for digital identity, tickets and payment processes. The planned innovations would further strengthen this approach and at the same time remove existing limitations.
Conclusion: iOS 27 could significantly enhance the Wallet app
The leaked information on iOS 27 paints a coherent picture of an enhanced Wallet app with significantly more flexibility. In particular, the ability to save QR codes directly as a passport should significantly increase the practical benefits in everyday life.
Official details or prices for compatible devices are still pending, as this is a leak. However, if the function is confirmed, iOS 27 could represent a noticeable upgrade for all iPhone users.
