Apple Building 'Create a Pass' Feature for iOS 27

Apple is working on a new feature called "Create a Pass" headed for iOS 27, its next major iPhone software update. The tool will let users take a QR code and generate a custom pass around it — think concert tickets and venue entry.

The feature was reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, citing sources familiar with the plans. It's designed to give users a streamlined way to organize event-related QR codes into dedicated passes on their iPhones.

Details beyond that are thin. Apple hasn't publicly confirmed the feature, and it's unclear exactly how much customization users will have or which types of venues and events will be supported at launch.

If it ships as described, it could simplify how people manage the growing pile of QR codes that now gatekeep everything from arena floors to festival grounds.
