you will be able to present it in person at TSA checkpoints in select U.S. airports for identity verification purposes during domestic travel. However, Apple says it is not a replacement for a physical passport, and it cannot be used for international travel and border crossing purposes.

Ehhh. Most will have their driver’s license, so it’s kinda pointless unless it’s accepted by other countries for international flight.

It will also be possible to use the Digital ID feature for age and identity verification in apps, online, and in stores, according to Apple.

They’re really trying to normalize this shit…

I can only speak to my local tri-state area but most people’s drivers licenses can’t be used to fly domestically. People that have their passports just use those to fly and don’t really bother to get the REAL ID

I’m not going to put my passport or DL into any phone there is just no benefit

Doubtless U.K. is queueing up for it as well…
