Google may have the same aspirations, but they will lack the sustained focus and no-compromises UX approach required to pull this off.

If I were leading wallet, my focus would be on making apple wallet the most beautiful behind-the-scenes hub for every person on earth to transact, access, and connect

Track 1 is to replace physical wallets and everything in them
 (credit cards -> tickets -> IDs -> memberships -> business cards -> cash)

Track 2 is to expand the footprint of all those things to encompass the entire physical + digital footprint of a person. Yes, this is where digital credentials and zkps come into play.

Track 3 is to integrate these seamlessly throughout all apple products so that you can do things like book and take a trip without ever touching your phone.

Result: Apple is the preeminent identity company, inextricably woven into almost all of your everyday interactions, even post AI.
