Apple plans to introduce a new "Create a Pass" feature in its Wallet app with the iOS 27 update, allowing users to convert any QR code into a digital pass such as gift cards, tickets, or memberships. This feature will offer customizable templates and is aimed at businesses that provide QR codes but don't support Apple Wallet. The update is expected to be announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June and released in the fall. This move aligns with growing mobile wallet usage, as Apple Pay usage in stores has doubled since 2024, driven by convenience and speed, especially among younger consumers.
