Apple Wallet

Now multiply that across every major corporation on earth.

You'll get Apple Wallet, Amazon Wallet, McDonald's Wallet, Google Pay with Yield, every airline, every retailer, every platform we already use.

All of them will become distribution channels for US government debt.

All of them holding US treasuries as the backing for whatever digital asset or rewards program they'll offer you.

Let's move on into software news.

General Motors this week announced the expansion of Apple Wallet car key support across nine models from Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC, with plans to add more vehicles over time.

The feature allows drivers to store digital car keys directly on their Apple devices, with an initial limited rollout that began in late September, expanding through October and into December.

Supported models include 2025 to 2027 vehicles, such as the Cadillac Lyric, Optic, Vestique, Escalade, and Escalade IQ and IQ-L, as well as the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.

Okay.

Now, what's new with Apple Wallet and iOS 27, you ask? Apple added the ability to create your own passes and wallet with iOS 27.

This comes in handy when membership or loyalty card has a barcode or QR code, but the organization never gave you an add to Apple Wallet button.

Apple specifically points to library cards and gym memberships as examples.

If you have Apple intelligence compatible iPhone, you can create a pass from a photo or a screenshot containing the barcode or QR code.

I'm fumbling with the phone.

I'm like wanting to make sure for the maybe 300th time that it's in my Apple wallet and yet whatever.

I'm just like, oh my gosh.

Like, why does this get me such anxiety? I think it's because it irritates me to no end when someone's in front of me is clearly has no idea what they're doing.

So that'd be kind of a cool feature.

So if you ever go on a flight, do you add the ticket to your Apple Wallet?

I do occasionally, but most of the time I'll just use it in the app.

But what's nice about the wallet is that it's just like on there, but now the apps do it on there too.

Like it's just on the lock

screen.

So when I went to Greece this time, I didn't do it to my Apple Wallet, but I have in the past done it

there.

And then with tech, and again, this is what I'm saying, tech is so cool.

With Apple phones and products, we can now get this into the Apple wallet.

It can get it into the Apple CarPlay for the paramedics to see, not to mention getting it into the electronic records and on banner bars and icons that we've gotten really savvy with doing over time.

We're talking to Fernando Murakshi and Thaddeus Pope.

Yeah.

One mother gave her 15-year-old daughter Apple Wallet access for emergencies and the girl spent more than $1,000 in one month at Target, Sephora, restaurants, and other stores.

Look, I'll be honest with you.

That's not a new thing.

Your dad giving you his credit card and say, only use it in emergencies.

And you go, well, I needed that makeup.

But as far as the cashless stuff is concerned, financial experts say you should teach kids spending limits, saving and budgeting before giving them access to digital payments.

Both of my kids have not a ton of money, but have money in cash because Katie's parents give them money for Christmas and birthdays, right? They have that money.

What's the neobank of

Apple Wallet, right? Yes, my

Grokbot is like my Apple Wallet, where it's like I have it controlling all my other agents, and I don't ever go on Cloud anymore.

I don't really go on Gemini anymore.

I just use my Grokbot.

And if you want to split it up and say, yep, I had that and I had that, you can do that.

If you just want to take the bill and split it up and then use your Apple wallet to actually have that paid for, you can do that.

The only thing I would say is not in Australia yet.

There's a thing called Apple Cash, which is kind of a bit of a contradiction because it's not really cash.

It's not cash as we would describe cash.

Yeah, right.

It's a feature on, again, in the US on your Apple Wallet where you've basically got cash you can transfer to each other.

So using Apple Cash, you can say, okay, yep, let's split it up 10 ways, 30 bucks each.
