Apple announced it would enable iPhone users to store IDs issued by Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Utah, Kentucky, Iowa, and Connecticut, but the process requires significant work by the government agencies who are also required to accept the liability:
“According to 9To5Mac’s latest report, Apple requires government officials to provide sufficient personnel and resources to have the new Apple Wallet feature.
These include digital ID tests, which would allow the state officials to check if the consumers’ documents work. On the other hand, the giant iPhone maker also wants to be granted prior approval and review of all the marketing materials.
Apple also provided the requirement when it comes to liability.
“Apple shall not be liable for any Verification Results, and Agency acknowledges that all Verification Results are provided AS IS and without any warranty, express, implied or otherwise, regarding its accuracy or performance,” said the tech firm.”
