Apple digital-ID scheme delayed to 2022
Apple's much promoted digital driver's licence feature is now to be delayed to early 2022.Announced in September, the scheme will allow residents in eight US states to store state IDs and driver's licences inside the Apple Wallet app on their iPhone. The delay follows Apple's announcement it was looking for "Sole control" over how states rolled out the feature. Apple has not provided a specific release date for the feature beyond the early 2022 timeframe. There is conflicting information on the company's site, with the software's All New Features page still stating the ID feature is coming in "Late 2021".BBC News has asked Apple for comment. Apple has said it is in discussions with other US states - reportedly including Florida - as it works to offer the feature, announced at a presentation in June, nationwide in the future.
