It won’t unlock your device as well, is their point. Just like Wallet currently operates.
> Biometric authentication using Face ID and Touch ID ensures that only the person who added the ID to the device can view or present their ID or license in Wallet.
I still worry about relying on my phone to hold my ID and then surrendering my phone when it's reasonable for the other party (presumably a government entity) to want to look at it in more detail or take the ID away for a period of time (eg during a traffic stop they will take your ID to run you through the computer and write your ticket up)
I also worry functionality like this leads to changes in general expectations which leads to more implementation that may not be as carefully executed
In my experience the cone is rather larger. Holding the phone and looking at the forearm or below it - which is easily 40 degrees off - will still unlock.
There is no single equivalent, you are free to choose yours. PassAndroid is quite happy to show a pass on a locked phone, although you have to start the app first, but it's the best you can do in Android.
