Those of you hoping that the release of iOS 26 would finally let you store a virtual passport on your phone are out of luck. While the software has been released to all compatible iPhones, the ability to add a U.S. passport to Apple Wallet has been delayed.
The iOS 26 features page has been updated, noting that "Digital ID will be available in a software update with U.S. passports only." In other words, the feature is not yet available, and we'll have to wait for a future iOS 26 update to take advantage of it. Apple hasn't specified which one, however. So it could be iOS 26.1, iOS 26.2, or some other future update.
