FOIA requests show Apple’s emails pitching state agencies on IDs and Wallet app
The tone of this article is bizarre, ignoring the fact that Apple is implementing an ISO standard. It's interesting that states interpreted this conversation as a procurement conversation, since it's not clear the government is being asked to buy anything but instead to see where they are on the mDL standard and whether they'd be interested in participating in Apple's early phase release of support for that standard.<p>The information is useful, but the whole framing is very strange and conspiratorial that's not supported by the emails or the facts.
