Student ID Support Coming to iPhone and Apple Watch, Starting With Select Colleges in United States
Apple is bringing Student ID support to iOS 12 and watchOS 5, streamlining how students access everything on their college campus.
At supported schools, students will be able to add their Student ID to an iPhone or Apple Watch and gain access to everything from dorms and dining halls to gyms and libraries, along with campus events or attending class, making purchases from campus retail shops and bookstores, and paying for laundry and items from vending machines.
The program launches this fall with support from Duke University, the University of Alabama, and the University of Oklahoma. Temple University, Johns Hopkins University, and Santa Clara University will add support by the end of the year.
