Apple Relying on States to Fund Digital ID Rollouts

Apple is launching a digital ID program allowing users to store IDs on iPhones. The initiative, partially funded by states and taxpayers, requires states to allocate resources and promote the service. States are also responsible for identity verification, despite Apple leading the program. Taxpayers bear the cost, even if they don't own an iPhone.
