New Zealanders are getting a new ChatGPT feature  

In a pilot with select countries, you'll be able to have a 'group chat' with ChatGPT. It's available on all plans, and Open AI wants feedback before it's rolled out more broadly. You can invite between 1 and 20 people to join you. Apparently ChatGPT knows when to stay quiet and when to chime in, and you can summon it if you need.  

  

Americans can now put their passport on their phone  

Apple has launched Digital ID in the USA, allowing anyone with a US passport to be able to load it onto their phone. At the moment, the best way to think about it is like having a verified digital copy on your phone with you. You can't use it at the border just yet, but you can use it at security checkpoints for domestic flights. Slowly State IDs are rolling out on the platform too, so it will be interesting to see if hospitality establishments allow this as a form of ID.  

NZ is working on digital driver's licenses, which had a goal to launch in "late 2025", but it seems they won't be done 'natively' with the Apple or Android software, but will be in a separate app.  

  

Is the iPhone "pocket" the next big fashion thing?  

Apple has partnered with Japanese designer Issey Miyake. The iPhone Pocket is described as a "cloth sling" for your phone that costs $150. If you want it as a cross body, that'll be $230. It looks like a sock with handles on it that then join again at the top, so there's a loop in the middle so you can thread it onto your bag. It's "3D knitted", in wildly bright colours and fits any iPhone (or, non-Apple phone). it's only available in select locations, so might be the next Labubu?
