    The one thing I hope Apple has added to the pass framework is the ability to semantically define a barcode area.

    This would enable them to finally have Wallet show ONLY that rectangle at a suddenly blinding brightness level (on HDR displays) for the scanner, rather than cranking up the entire screen.

      That's not the only thing

      Someone else mentioned TOTP codes that are hard to copy

      My personal gripe is that NFC readers can't read wallet passes. That's also true for google/android.

      Both apple/google restrict it and only few very big retailers are using it.

        That’s funny, the local mom and pop chocolate shop by me uses the nfc wallet pass feature from iOS.
