THE APPLE WALLET
Apple Wallet:
Apple Wallet is a digital wallet app that stores cards, tickets, and passes on iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. With mobile wallet cards, businesses can offer loyalty rewards, gift cards, promotions, and event tickets directly to customers’ devices. This eliminates the need for physical cards, and businesses can engage customers with real-time updates and offers through push notifications, enhancing convenience and loyalty.
Launched in 2012 as “Passbook” and rebranded in 2015 as Apple Wallet, it originally stored tickets, boarding passes, and loyalty cards. With the addition of Apple Pay, it allowed secure payments and has since expanded to store digital IDs, tickets, and car keys, offering a convenient way to manage everyday items.
