What’s new in Wallet

A Podkey summary of What’s new in Wallet, from WWDC 2026.Apple’s giving Wallet passes a pretty meaningful upgrade in iOS 27, and a lot of it comes down to making passes look better, work more flexibly, and get built with a lot less friction. The big pieces are a new visual style called Poster Generic, more barcode options with smarter fallback planning, featured actions that people can actually tap, and a new toolchain that goes from design mockup to signed pass much more cleanly. And under all of that, there’s a very practical theme here: make the shiny new stuff work without stranding anybody on older iPhones.Poster Generic arrivesA couple design moves that really helpBarcode options get broaderThe fallback plan really mattersFeatured actions make passes more usefulNew tools for actually making these thingsFrom template to signed passIt’s not just for Swift shopsThe compatibility checklistThis podcast was created with Podkey.
