Been using “create a pass” on Google Wallet for quite a while. It’s really useful. It’s cool that iPhone finally got it.

I have an iPhone 12 and can find no reason to use iOS 27. Is there anything new for me?

I’m going to use this “CUE-pon”!

Installed it on an iPhone 16 Pro and I’m getting a whole lot of bugs and slowdowns. As usual, everyone is having fun but MEEEEEE.

Love your videos. I have an iPhone 17 and when creating a pass it gives me 3 options, standard, memberships and events. The camera doesn’t open up automatically like I keep seeing on videos. Thank you

One important note on “Siri is private” bit. Turn off “Help Apple Improve Search” under Settings –> Search.

I cannot believe all this excitement for features which existed in Android since I don’t know when. Next year they will introduce smarter alarms like Samsung and we will all be exited for it😂

I’m definitely not getting the iPhone 18 so I can say I got the new twinkle time feature 😅

I’m not a big fan of quoting other people, but this is definitely compounded hogwash. Smells like snake oil to me. 😠
