Also worth mentioning that they added an easy way to make passes directly in the wallet app on iOS 27, you can basically scan in existing barcodes and qr codes.

Why does my hardware vendor need to get into designing passes?

What is next, ASUS making electric bike motors?

Apple doesn't make software??

there's a large contingent of strange people that think apple's services business is a side-hustle.

My first guess would be because these passes can be used in Apple Wallet.

In response to your edit (ignoring that you used a piece of hardware for that example): Apple makes a lot more software than ASUS. Everyone knows the software is part of an Apple product; that's been a thing the whole time macOS has only been (officially/easily) runnable on Apple products.

I really hate that accessory. You have this teeeny tiny little wheel that's going to rub up against your tire to propel it? I'm incredibly surprised this ever worked at all.

Not a new idea, and it could be worse. How about we drive the front wheel instead, and put a bunch extra weight over the front?

Filed under “I’m kinda surprised that was ever legally sold”. (You’ll find it next to the lawn darts.)

anyone not on ios 27 — i can recommend an app called “offline cards.” straightforward, clean way to add physical cards to ios wallet.

How in the world was it possible “back then” to be considered innovative and cutting-edge with just so few simple but beautiful products (iPod Classic, iPhone 4..) ?

Another artificial and pointless concept to make people subjected to Apple

This is genuinely interesting. It's possible in other ways but being able to use your phone as a building access key in some cases would be great.
