In the latest iOS release, Apple has introduced several changes and enhancements to Apple Wallet and Apple Pay. Here are the key updates:

  1. Apple Pay on Non-Safari Browsers:

    • Users on iOS 18 can now use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone to securely and privately complete the payment. This extends the Apple Pay user experience to any device with a browser, including those outside the Apple ecosystem. (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay)

  2. Richer Ticketing Experience:

    • Apple has introduced visual upgrades to tickets in your wallet, a new event guide to access detailed information about your event, and stronger system integration with apps like weather, calendar, and more. (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay)

  3. Live Activity for Event Tickets:

    • Passes will start a live activity on iPhone and Apple Watch at the time the pass is deemed most relevant. This live activity will display primary seating and entry information, making it easier for users to see the most important information directly on their lock screen or smart stack.

  4. API Enhancements for Apple Pay:

    • Developers are encouraged to use the canMakePayments API or the new Apple Pay capabilities API to determine Apple Pay availability, replacing older browser detection methods. (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay)

These updates aim to improve the user experience for both payments and ticketing, making transactions more seamless and providing richer information for event attendees.
