Apple Watch and iPhone owners in the United States will now be able to carry a copy of their U.S. passport on their device, which they can then use at TSA checkpoints across more than 250 U.S. airports when traveling domestically.
Apple’s new Digital ID will let U.S. users carry their passport on their iPhone, and use it at TSA checkpoints.
I don’t think this is true. If I open my wallet from the lock screen then cover the front camera and close the wallet app my phone remains locked. Obviously it’s a different story if you open the wallet app when the phone is unlocked
That being said, I do have some non-default FaceID settings
In a perfect world, it would automatically put the device into lockdown mode when you opened up an ID using a wallet. Making it so if you left wallet, you have to put in a pin, because biological security, such as fingerprint and face ID, aren’t protected and also are one of the easiest to force you into providing unwillingly.
note: Lockdown in this instance is what Android’s lockdown mode is, where it prevents you from using any type of biometric login until you put in your PIN again. Not Apple’s dedicated lockdown mode that will heavily lock down the device on what it can do.
The equivalent on iOS I believe is holding down the power button, and then when the shutdown slider appears, pressing cancel,
I completely agree. I guess you can turn off biometrics if you’re in an environment where being forced to unlock your phone is a threat ( airports would be one of those envs for “normal” people ) but most people aren’t going to do that
