Apple wallet and I've seen videos of kids on social media who make fake passes in Photoshop to get into events. This might help event coordinators deter that from happening.

Kind of a great point. People definitely build their own secure passes and they're always amusing (compare your boarding pass with LIRR tickets with Ticketmaster tickets; they all do something slightly different and none seem particularly secure).

What's wrong with an image with a unique barcode?

Kids - just bring an Android phone if you’re going to scam, since events can’t require customers to be iPhone owners, and Apple didn’t design this with universal compatibility in mind.

"events can’t require customers to be iPhone owners" unfortunately idk about that

Right -- I'd already have thought places "couldn't" require people to be any kind of smartphone owner to participate in commerce, but I notice that more and more these days.

But only one specific brand of smartphone? That’s different.

		There are already a lot that require "verified" brands. So iPhone or Android only, and not the hackable Androids like Graphene. I could see a more niche place requiring an iPhone, not even intentionally.

		Definitely. I just feel like a boiling frog sometimes.

		Well, those events don't want them poor kids from coming and dragging down the place, right? /s
