| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Wednesday, September 24th, 2025. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.7 | We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:13.1 | Leading off today, the Apple Wallet app got a bunch of new features in iOS 26, |
| 0:18.0 | but there's another edition coming very soon. |
| 0:22.6 | US Passport Support. When iOS 26 launched last week to all users, it included almost every new feature that was shown off at WWDC in June. |
| 0:30.6 | Unlike past years, when Apple regularly demoed features that didn't ship until the 0.1 or 0.2 updates, this year was different. That said, |
| 0:39.1 | not every single feature made the iOS 26.0 cut. One prominent missing in-action feature was |
| 0:45.9 | US passport support in the wallet app. Digital IDs have been a feature inside Apple Wallet for years, |
| 0:51.9 | although they've rolled out very slowly on a state-by-state basis |
| 0:55.1 | here in the United States. That's because in order to offer a digital ID for a state driver's |
| 1:00.3 | license, that state needs to get on board in full partnership with Apple. Right now, only 11 states |
| 1:06.4 | and territories offer digital IDs in the U.S. But U.S. passport support, when it does arrive, will bring a form of digital ID to a lot more iPhone |
| 1:15.2 | users. |
| 1:16.2 | Apple has now updated its website to provide a timing update for the passport feature, saying that |
| 1:21.6 | support for adding your passport to Apple Wallet will launch later this year. |
| 1:26.4 | This means that we're likely looking at either iOS 26.1 in late October or iOS 26.2 |
| 1:32.7 | in early to mid-December. |
| 1:34.7 | This is good news for iPhone users who thought that maybe Apple wouldn't ship this feature until 2026, |
| 1:40.8 | but now we know it's coming in just a couple of months. |
| 1:44.2 | Next up today, price hikes for streaming services are nothing new, but Disney Plus seems to rank among the streamers that most often raises prices. |
| 1:53.0 | And it's about to happen again. |
