Apple launches Digital ID feature for secure ID use in Apple Wallet

Apple has introduced Digital ID, a new feature that allows users to create and present an ID in Apple Wallet using information from their U.S. passport. The company said the service, launched in beta, will first be accepted at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints across more than 250 airports in the United States for domestic travel.

According to an Apple press release, the Digital ID aims to provide users with a simple way to securely carry their identification on their iPhone or Apple Watch.
