Background: Apple has partnered with 8 US states in a pilot to launch a digital driver's licence. It'll be stored in Apple Wallets on iPhones and Apple Watches. And this is just the beginning.

What happened: It'll be as easy as uploading a credit card in your Apple Wallet. Scan it your ID, take a quick selfie and do some biometric scanning using the FaceID feature for extra security. No more stressing about losing your ID on a night out.

What else: Unlike in NSW where you can store your ID in the Services NSW app, this version of your ID will be stored in your Apple Wallet. It means all your important cards and deets are in the one spot. The big Q is - when will it hit Aussie shores?

So what's the key learning?

💡Apple wants to become your numero uno, your go-to, your only partner-in-crime when you leave the house. They're replacing your crumb-filled wallet with a digital version.

💡Think about it: Apple's already got our credit cards, transport cards, boarding passes and even our Woolies rewards cards in there. And there's no telling how far they'll go in their plan to be the only thing we need when we leave the house

💡But the digital ID market is set to be worth a massive US$49.5 billion by 2026, so Apple will have some stiff competition up ahead.
