| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Tuesday, April 14th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are supported this week by card pointers. |
| 0:13.4 | Leading off today as part of iOS 26, Apple launched a revamped experience for airline boarding passes in Apple Wallet. |
| 0:20.4 | As of today, that feature has now expanded to the biggest airline in the United States. |
| 0:26.3 | United and Southwest rolled out support for the new feature last year, and now American Airlines |
| 0:32.1 | has followed suit, now supporting the key new boarding pass features in Apple Wallet. |
| 0:37.0 | With the new boarding pass experience, Apple Wallet shows you all of the key details about your flight. |
| 0:41.9 | There's also quick access to in-depth airport information in Apple Maps, |
| 0:46.5 | support for sharing your flight information with other people, |
| 0:49.8 | and quick access to tracking your air tag equipped luggage in the Find My app. |
| 0:55.1 | The rollout to American Airlines is a major milestone for the feature, |
| 0:58.8 | as American is the largest airline in the U.S. by annual passenger count. |

| 1:28.2 | Delta actually launched support for the feature last November, but just a couple of days later, |
| 1:33.9 | the airline abandoned its plans and reverted to the old boarding pass implementation |
| 1:38.3 | due to bugs and performance issues. There's no word from Delta on when or if it plans to relaunch the feature. |
| 1:46.1 | We're sponsored this week by Card Pointers, the best way to earn more from your credit cards every day. |
| 1:52.0 | Card Pointers shows you in-depth details about rewards and offers for each of your cards. |
| 1:57.3 | Most Card Pointers users save more than $750 per year with these recommendations. |
| 2:04.2 | Card Pointers is available on all of Apple's platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. |
