My old leather wallet is just fine, but thanks anyway.

If you abstain from making electronic transactions, you won’t get pregnant.

I should probably give Apple all my financial information as well. Why not?

Some folks don’t even carry a cell phone at all nor do they want to. Weird huh?

Apple isn't trying to reach out to this 0.01% of the population.

In Apple's vision of the future, you and I would leave our homes without physical wallets.

I'm already doing this.

I keep a photo of my drivers license on my iPhone and I use Apple Pay, Kroger Pay, Walmart Pay, etc. for all my purchases.

Sometimes I'll give my 12-year old son my iPhone and send him on errands to the grocery store. He knows how to use all of that as well. I'll probabIy buy him his own iPhone soon and install all of that on it because I trust him. I rarely ever handle cash and these days I rarely handle even my debit card.

Then you drop your phone and it breaks or gets lost so now you have no ID, no money, no way to get into your own home, etc. etc. No thanks.

My grandkids use apps on iPhones to alter their image, both in photo and video chats. They’ll be doing this to D.L. images!

Same here. I also keep a copy of my auto registrations & insurance cards. I hate carrying anything that I don’t need to.

A couple of years ago I was stopped for speeding & the CHP took my info off the phone pics. Since it worked, I rarely ever carry more than my phone & keys. I wish I could open & start my car with my phone so I could ditch the keys.

" you'll be able to present your identification on your iPhone or Apple Watch "

And so will everyone else.

Yep, I’ve had a few iPhones brick out on me. What a bonus that would be.

This has nothing to do with stealing your ID. It is about having a private company present something represented as an official government ID.

The more people involved every time you present an ID to do something like vote, the more places there are to introduce a fraudulent ID. They are scrambling for a way to overcome voter ID laws that are coming.

OK....so carry a wallet. I don’t blame you. There is too much stuff on the phones to worry about losing.

There is a problem with that theory - there is a reason that this new idea requires a state to sign on - the data verification and validation for an ID to be stored in Apple Wallet requires server calls -
