It’s time for our first new title of 2026! I’m delighted to introduce Glenn Fleishman’s book Take Control of Apple Wallet, which reveals a great many capabilities and tricks you were probably unaware of. (As Glenn's editor on this book, I kept going, “Really? Wow. I had no idea.”) Wallet isn’t just for storing payment cards for Apple Pay, boarding passes, and concert tickets. It can do so much more, and this new book reveals all. As always, you can save 30% with your MUG discount (just enter coupon code CPN90219MUG on the Cart page before you check out)—or, save 50% with a Take Control Premium membership. Reminder: A Take Control Premium membership is an optional $14.99 add-on to any book. It saves you 50% on all books you buy from us for a full year, including the books in your current order! The Wallet app on your iPhone and Apple Watch stores credit and debit cards and a wide variety of other payment methods, store/membership cards, travel documents, event tickets, and more. Take Control of Apple Wallet digs deep into this app to show you even more things it can do, and how to use Wallet on your device to make purchases, unlock doors, and even (maybe) start your car. More importantly, it helps you avoid or solve problems and understand why things sometimes don’t work the way you expect them to. And, even though there’s no Wallet app for Mac or iPad, Glenn shows you what you can do with the Wallet & Apple Pay settings on both of those platforms, too.
