For background, see Apple Wallet Adds Mobile Access Control Support.

Inside this report, we share:

  • Multiple panelist comments expecting Apple to charge for Wallet integration

  • Why Apple size, larger than the entire access market, undermines cost fears
  • Despite the costs, panelists think Apple's involvement is a positive thing
  • The three improvements Wallet has over separate access apps
