    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…
