College across the country may soon start seeing a much older demographic roaming their campuses. According to a report from the higher education publication Best Colleges, at least 84 public or nonprofit colleges have announced they would merge or close over the past five years. Almost half of those are outright closures, as small colleges struggle to keep up with rising costs amid falling enrollment. In many instances, the shuttering of a college means the mothballing of its campus. But while some campuses are being left idle with no future plans, a growing number are finding new life in the form of senior living facilities. That doesn’t mean just moving seniors into old dorm buildings. Some adaptation projects are showing that college campuses have room and opportunity for building reuse and building redesign to accommodate the special needs of senior residents. [Photo: Francis Dzikowski/OTTO] “College sites are absolutely prime because they have a slightly larger scale, they have infrastructure running to them, and they have open space that can be utilized,” says Sargent C. Gardiner, partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, who has worked on multiple college campus adaptation projects. One of the firm’s most recent projects is the Newbury of Brookline, a luxury senior living community in Massachusetts built from and around the former buildings of Newbury College, which shuttered in 2019. Located just outside Boston, the campus centered around a historic mansion and had been used by the college since the early 1980s. [Photo: Francis Dzikowski/OTTO] Now, that historic mansion has been joined by a newly constructed six-story building that holds 159 units of independent, assisted, and memory care living facilities for seniors. Amenities include an indoor saltwater pool, a fitness center, art rooms, and a rooftop bar. Operated by Kisco Senior Living, the Newbury of Brookline has monthly rents that start at $10,000. This project is part of a trend in higher education, particularly at smaller colleges, which are turning to real estate development as a way of buttressing their bottom line, or, in the case of closed colleges, finding entirely new lives. In dozens of projects across the country, colleges are turning over parts of their campuses for redevelopment as housing, and often senior housing. [Photo: Francis Dzikowski/OTTO] Old buildings, new use On the campus of the State University of New York’s Purchase College, a new senior living facility recently opened that includes 174 independent living apartments, 46 villas, 36 assisted-living residences, and 32 memory care suites. In Denver, the closed Johnson & Wales University is now home to 154 units of affordable housing. More are likely on the way. Wells College in Aurora, New York, closed in June and one of the proposals for the property includes housing. Meanwhile, senior housing is also on the table for the campus of the College of Saint Rose, in Albany, New York, which closed in 2024. On the campus of the former Newbury College, Gardiner says the project was carefully designed to fit into the campus and mesh with the existing facilities. It was also important to blend the architecture with the surrounding community, which has many historic buildings and classical building styles. “There are a lot of people embedded in the neighborhood that really care about the neighborhood, and really care about the architectural character. They don’t want to see it ruined,” Gardiner says. “It was very clear from the very beginning that they needed somebody that could talk the talk of regional architectural languages.” [Photo: Francis Dzikowski/OTTO] Robert A.M. Stern Architects, one of the foremost classical architecture firms in the U.S., has deep experience designing new buildings that fit their context. But while the central building of the former college campus is a historic mansion, the site itself has been a college for decades. That gave the architects the leeway to design a building with the look and feel of the historic structures in the area, but at a more institutional scale. Uniquely, the building is much taller than its neighbors. “The central portion of it rises to six stories, which is unheard of in many senior living areas, especially in a suburban neighborhood,” says Gardiner. “But going up was the key to this project.” It was able to accommodate a significant amount of units while preserving open space and a stand of old growth trees. “That allowed the project to just nestle in and sort of feel like it was always here,” Gardiner says. [Photo: Francis Dzikowski/OTTO] The height also opened up another unique amenity for the project, creating room for a rooftop deck attached to the building’s bar, where residents can go for an evening drink and take in views of downtown Boston in the distance. All of thisalong with its tony locationis why there’s such a relatively high price point for residences at the Newbury of Brookline. It’s part of the appeal and the business logic of turning a former college into this new sort of campus. But the concept won’t work just anywhere, Gardiner says. A big campus far removed from urban amenities or, importantly, good healthcare, may not pencil out as well as a campus that’s better connected or even in a city center. “The green acre sites may get gobbled up by some other use,” he says. “It’s these in-between, irregular sites where you can sort of squeeze the caulking in.” As more colleges in these areas struggle to survive, this kind of rebirth may be just what their campuses, and older adults, need.

Delegation is supposed to get easier the higher you rise. In reality, it becomes challenging in a different way, Common delegation advice is helpful for first-time managers, who typically have trouble letting go. But for senior leaders, effective delegation looks different. Its not about handing off tasks. Its about leading through a paradox. They need to stay close enough to align and coach, but they also need to step back enough to empower and grow others. At this level, for many, the risk isnt micromanagement, but over-detachment. When youre too removed, you miss chances to align strategy, spot risks, or coach your leaders. Delegation is about managing a polarity These risks dont happen by chance. Theyre likely to happen when we dont see what delegation really is: a polarity to manage. Its a continuous balancing act of two interdependent poles, involvement and autonomy. Both are valuable. And there are downsides to doing too much of both. That is the essence of polarity management, which Barry Johnson first described in his 1992 book, Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems. Yet it remains more relevant than ever for leaders today. Polarities are paradoxes and tensions you cant solve, but only manage, over time. Think speed and quality; short-term and long-term; stability and change. Two poles of a polarity are interdependent, so you cannot choose one as a solution and neglect the other, just like involvement and autonomy. To get the benefits of one, you need to attend to the other. Senior leaders live in this paradox every day, but few think about delegation as the polarity it actually is. Its not about choosing between involvement and autonomy, control or letting go, but about continuously managing the tension between the two. The trap of the pendulum effect Most leaders have a natural preference. Some stay deeply involved, others pride themselves on giving their people wide latitude. Both preferences workuntil they dont. When theres too much autonomy, it can lead to organizational misalignment, missed risks, and late-stage pivots. But when theres too much involvement, that creates decision bottlenecks at the top, and team members can feel micromanaged and disempowered. The actual trap is the pendulum effectleaders swinging from one pole to the other. If too much autonomy leads to drift, they jump back in and get more involved, potentially exerting too much control. When that frustrates and disempowers their team members, they swing back to being hands-off. And the cycle repeats. Breaking the cycle requires a different mindset. Leaders need to see delegation as a polarity to balance. That means recognizing the pattern, anticipating the shifts, and proactively balancing the upsides of both poles before the downsides start to emerge. The art of high-impact delegation at senior levels, therefore, lies in cycling between involvement and autonomy. You need to be able to switch between the two depending on the stakes and context of the work, and trust in the relationships and capabilities of your team members. There is no perfect and stable point of balance. Its a continuous practice of adjustment. How to show up differently A tech company Ive worked with trained all its senior leaders to look at delegation through a polarity lens, while emphasizing that involvement was an integral part of their culture. Leaders mapped out their tendencies, learned to recognize early warning signs of leaning too much into one pole, and experimented with new ways of showing up. A few big shifts stood out: Where they showed up changed They realized involvement wasnt about hovering everywhere. It was about leaning in with more focus and attention when the stakes were highest. This means critical work like high-stakes or unusually complex projects, when they need to coach, support, or provide people with stretch opportunities. This was also crucial during strategic moments when they needed perspective to align across the organization. How they showed up changed Instead of inserting themselves or taking over, leaders leaned on dialogue. They were: Asking big-picture questions about context, impact, or purpose, like Why are we doing this? or Who else will be impacted? Helping teams zoom out to see risks, interdependencies, and strategic connections. Clarifying expectations and roles upfront, and using check-ins for alignment, problem-solving, and coachingnot just updates. The result? Leaders werent doing more of the work themselves, as many had feared. They were actually influencing the work, bringing perspective, context, and coaching in ways that elevated their teams. Through modeling deeper thinking and strategizing, their teams started internalizing those behaviors and applied them independently, even when the leader wasnt present. And once leaders got comfortable with polarity thinking, they started applying it elsewherecandor and care, stability and change, results, and relationships. They stopped asking which side was right and started asking how to get the best of both. That development shiftfrom either/or choices to both/and leadershipis what unlocks deeper effectiveness, not just in delegation but in leading in complexity. Leading with the paradox So how can you put this into practice? You can start by doing the following: Reflect on your patterns. Notice when you overdo autonomy or involvement. Watch for the early warning signs: drift, misalignment, bottlenecks, and disengagement. Ask yourself the following questions: How do you intentionally cycle between the two poles, depending on context and capability? How do you ensure your involvement adds value without disempowering? How do you ensure autonomy doesnt become detachment? Align expectations upfront. Be clear on outcomes, roles, responsibilities, and decision boundaries. You should also discuss and align around your work styles and preferences for updating and keeping each other informed. Continuously calibrate. Contexts shift. Projects evolve. People grow. Ask yourself: What requires my attention right now? Where will involvement matter most? Where can I step back to create space? Trust your intuition and check in with your teams. This cycle of reflection, alignment, and calibration allows you to balance both poles of the delegation paradox over time without getting stuck in either. Delegation at senior levels isnt about handing off tasks and hoping for the best. Treating delegation as a polarityrather than a skill to masterhelps leaders embrace it as an ongoing practice. Leaders who do this well dont ask, Am I delegating enough? They ask, Am I balancing involvement and autonomy in a way that serves the whole organization, my teams, and the individuals I lead?

Motivation comes and go, but consistency is what will get you the results. That’s a principle I’ve tried to live by for as long as I can remember. For the most part, it has served me pretty well. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that being consistent while being unmotivated can be energy draining. And when mental and physical energy is lacking, it can be difficult to be consistent. Earlier this year, I found myself in a bit of a motivation rut. I’d had a very busy six months of work. As a freelancer, this is something that I’m definitely grateful for and don’t take for granted. When things started to slow down for a little bit, I figured that I would finally have the headspace to get started on some side projects and goals that had been brewing in my head. Yet despite being excited about them all, I struggled to find the energy (and motivation) to take consistent action. Identifying the source After a little bit of introspection, I suspected that two things were getting in my way. First, my emotional attachment to the goals gave me too many excuses not to start. I wanted my side projects to succeed, so I could find all sorts of reasons as to why it just wasn’t quite the right time to start. And this led to the second point: I struggled to break down the goals into smaller steps, because I couldn’t stop ruminating on what might happen if the first step didn’t work out. The solution was simple. I needed to be less emotionally invested in the outcome, and take those small steps consistently. But what’s simple isn’t always easy. After years of writing and editing about productivity, I’ve learned that sometimes you need to take the long way to get somewhere. In the past, I experienced many flow-on benefits from taking on a challenging and scary physical goal. So I committed to training for my first boxing fight. Establishing a routine and confidence The fight I signed for required me to commit to a 12-week training camp, where I trained alongside other fighters of similar level (which in my case, is extremely novice as I’d only started boxing seriously for about six months prior). For the first four weeks, I didn’t have the energy to do anything else beyond training and my freelance work. It took a little bit of time to get my body and mind to adapt to the physical load, dial in my nutrition, and understand how to recover. All so I can do it all over again the next day. But halfway through the training camp, my mind and body started to adapt. I noticed that I started to have more mental energy to work towards the side projects I’d been putting off. First, I was able to break down my goals into tiny, little, doable steps. Once I did that, I could finally start to take small actions. I also stopped overthinking about what would happen. The flow-on effects of setting a low-stakes goal I was familiar with the concept of habit-stacking, a term that means stacking new behaviors to existing habits. For example, say you have a habit of eating dinner at 6 p.m. You can “stack” going for a walk after your meal if you wanted to add some more physical activity to your day. But I wondered whether there was a similar rationale when it comes to goal-stacking. I was especially curious about the impact that setting a low-stakes goal can have on working towards a higher stakes one. Dr. Gina Cleo, habit researcher and author of The Habit Revolution, said that there is. “When we take on a low-stakes goal, like training for a boxing match or learning a new skill just for fun, it can reignite our sense of agency,” she says. “We experience progress, mastery, and momentum in one domain, which spills over into others.” “This happens because success triggers a release of dopamine, the brains motivation and reward chemical. Once that circuit is active, it improves focus, confidence, and willingness to take on challenges elsewhere. So a seemingly small or playful goal can become a catalyst for renewed energy and drive in the areas that feel ‘heavier’ or higher-pressure,” she goes on to say. The power of taking small actions The idea of mastery in boxing feels a long, long way away. But as a novice fighter, I’m acutely aware of every incremental and tiny progress. I’m still a few weeks away from my fight, but stacking a series of small improvements week by week has triggered a sense of momentum. I could then leverage that to take action in other parts of my life, like starting my side projects. Dr. Cleo explains, “Progress creates what psychologists call a ‘success loop.’ As you start ticking off small wins, your brain registers that youre capable, and that confidence fuels motivation for other goals.” It was a powerful reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a series of small actions to trigger bigger ones. This is a practice that Leo Shen, engineering graduate turned elite amateur boxer (and my boxing coach), implements in his own life. For him, the foundational goal is finding small ways to control your environment. That might mean putting your running shoes and socks by your bed so that it’s easier to go for a run. Or it could look like eating a nutritious breakfast that nourishes you so you’ll continue to do the same for lunch and dinner. He says, “You create the environment where youre more likely to be disciplined, and then everything falls into place. Once you control the environment, then it becomes a habit. You have to stack the dominoes before you can push them over.” Building a strong foundation Pursuing a challenging physical goal has forced me to do exactly thatcontrol my environment so that I can train and recover to the best of my ability. In turn, those healthy practices have given me the mental and physical energy to make small progress on my professional goals. I know that regardless of what happens on fight night, I’ve built a foundation and a routine that I can rely on. And as a result, I’ll have the energy (and motivation) to take consistent action towards something that once felt too overwhelming to start.

All last week, OpenAI watchers reported seeing strange things. References to GPT-5.1 kept showing up in OpenAIs codebase, and a cloaked model codenamed Polaris Alpha and widely believed to have come from OpenAI randomly appeared in OpenRouter, a platform that AI nerds use to test new systems. Today, we learned what was going on. OpenAI announced the release of its brand new 5.1 model, an updated and revamped version of the GPT-5 model the company debuted in August. As a former OpenAI Beta testerand someone who burns through millions of GPT-5 tokens every monthheres what you need to know about GPT-5.1. A smarter, friendlier robot In their release notes for the new model, OpenAI emphasizes that GPT-5.1 is smarter and more conversational than previous versions. The company says that GPT-5.1 is warmer by default and often surprises people with its playfulness while remaining clear and useful. While some people like talking with a chatbot as if its their long-time friend, others find that cringey. OpenAI acknowledges this, saying that Preferences on chat style varyfrom person to person and even from conversation to conversation. For that reason, OpenAI says users can customize the new models tone, choosing between pre-set options like Professional, Candid and Quirky. Theres also a Nerdy option, which in my testing seems to make the model more pedantic and cause it to overuse terms like level up. At their core, the new changes feel like a pivot towards the consumer side of OpenAIs customer base. Enterprise users probably dont want a model that occasionally drops Dungeons and Dragons references. As the uproar over OpenAIs initially voiceless GPT-5 model shows, though, everyday users do. Even fewer hallucinations OpenAIs GPT-5 model fell short in many ways, but it was very good at providing accurate, largely hallucination-free responses. I often use OpenAIs models to perform research. With earlier models like GPT-4o, I found that I had to carefully fact check everything the model produced to ensure it wasnt imagining some new software tool that doesnt actually exist, or lying to me about myriad other small, crucial things. With GPT-5, I had to do that far less. The model wasnt perfect. But OpenAI had largely solved the problem of wild hallucinations. According to the companys own data, GPT-5 hallucinates only 26% of the time when solving a complex benchmark problem, versus 75% of the time with older models. In normal usage, that translates to a far lower hallucination rate on simpler, everyday queries that arent designed to trip the model up. From my early testing, GPT-5.1 seems even less prone to hallucinate. I asked it to make a list of the best restaurants in my hometown, and to include addresses, website links and open hours for each one. When I asked GPT-4 to complete a similar task years ago, it made up plausible-sounding restaurants that dont exist. GPT-5 does better on such things, but still often misses details, like the fact that one popular restaurant recently moved down the street. GPT-5.1s list, though, is spot-on. Its choices are solid, theyre all real places, and the hours and locations are correct across all ten selections. Theres a cost, though. Models that hallucinate less tend to take fewer risks, and can thus seem less creative than unconstrained, hallucination-laden ones. To that point, the restaurants in GPT-5.1s list arent wrong, but theyre mostly safe choicesthe kinds of places that have been in town forever, and that every local would have visited a million times. A real human reviewer (or a bolder model) might have highlighted a promising newcomer, just to keep things fresh and interesting. GPT-5.1 stuck with decade-old, proven classics. OpenAI will likely try to carefully walk the link between accuracy and creativity with GPT-5.1 as the rollout continues. The model clearly gets things right more often, but its not yet clear if that will impact GPT-5.1s ability to come up with things that are truly creative and new. Better, more creative writing In a similar vein, when OpenAI released their GPT-5 model, users quickly noticed that it produced boring, lifeless written prose. At the time, I predicted that OpenAI had essentially given the model an emotional lobotomy, killing its emotional intelligence in order to curb a worrying trend of the model sending users down psychotic spirals. Turns out, I was right. In a post on X last month, Sam Altman admitted that We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. But Altman also said in the post now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. That process began with the rollout of new, more emotionally intelligent personalities in the existing GPT-5 model. But its continuing and intensifying with GPT-5.1. Again, the model is already voicer than its predecessor. But as the system card for the new model shows, GPT-5.1s Instant model (the default in the popular free version of the ChatGPT app) is also markedly better at detecting harmful conversations and protecting vulnerable users. Naughty bits If youre squeamish about NSFW stuff, maybe cover your ears for this part. In the same X post, Altman subtly dropped a sentence that sent the Internet into a tizzy: As we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our treat adult users like adults principle, we will allow even more, like erotica fo verified adults. The idea of Americas leading AI company churning out reams of computer-generated erotica has already sparked feverish commentary from such varied sources as politicians, Christian leaders, tech reporters, and (judging from the number of Upvotes), most of Reddit. For their part, though, OpenAI seems quite committed to moving ahead with this promise. In a calculus that surely makes sense in the strange techno-Libertarian circles of the AI world, the issue is intimately tied to personal freedom and autonomy. In a recent article about the future of artificial intelligence, OpenAI again reiterated that We believe that adults should be able to use AI on their own terms, within broad bounds defined by society, placing full access to AI on par with electricity, clean water, or food. All thats to say that soon, the guardrails around ChatGPTs naughty bits are almost certainly coming off. That hasnt yet happened at launchthe model still coyly demures when asked about explicit things. But along with GPT-5.1s bolder personalities, its almost certainly on the way. Deeper thought In addition to killing GPT-5s emotional intelligence, OpenAI made another misstep when releasing GPT-5. The company tried to unify all queries within a single model, letting ChatGPT itself choose whether to use a simpler, lower-effort version of GPT-5, or a slower, more thoughtful one. The idea was nobletheres little reason to use an incredibly powerful, slow, resource-intensive LLM to answer a query like Is tahini still good after 1 month in the fridge (Answer: no) But in practice, the feature was a failure. ChatGPT was no good at determining how much effort was needed to field a given query, which meant that people asking complex questions were often routed to a cheap, crappy model that gave awful results. OpenAI fixed the issue in ChatGPT with a user interface kludge. But with GPT-5.1, OpenAI is once again bifurcating their model into an Instant and Thinking version. The former responds to simple queries far faster than GPT-5, while the latter takes longer, chews through more tokens, and yields better results on complex tasks. OpenAI says that theres more fine grained nuance within GPT-5.1s Thinking model, too. Unlike with GPT-5, the new model can dial up and down its level of thought to accurately answer tough questions without taking forever to return a responsea common gripe with the previous version. OpenAI has also hinted that its future models will be capable of making very small discoveries in fields like science and medicine next year, with systems that can make more significant discoveries coming as soon as 2028. GPT-5.1s increased smarts and dialed-up thinking ability are a first step down that path. An attempt to course correct Overall, GPT-5.1 seems like an attempt to correct many of the glaring problems with GPT-5, while also doubling down on OpenAIs more freedom-oriented, accuracy-focused, voicy approach to conversational AI. The new model can think, write, and communicate better than its predecessorsand will soon likely be able to (ahem) flirt better too. Whether it will do those things better than a growing stable of competing models from Google, Anthropic, and myriad Chinese AI labs, though, is anyones guess. This story has been updated.

Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, Apple has rolled out a new iOS 26 feature that lets users store their U.S. passport on their iPhone. The digitization of the passport is something tech-savvy travelers have longed for, especially as other once physical-only items that have crowded our pockets, like credit cards, driver’s licenses, and even car keys, have made their way onto the iPhone. But so far there are limitations to what you can do with your digitized passport, which Apple dubs your Digital ID. Heres what you need to know about uploading your passport to your iPhone and what you canand cantuse it for once its there. How to add your passport to your iPhone Adding your U.S. passport to your iPhone is relatively straightforwardprovided your iPhone and your passport meet some requirements. As far as your iPhone goes, it must be an iPhone 11 or later; it must be running iOS 26.1 or later; and its region must be set to the United States. Youll also need Face ID or Touch ID turned on, as well as Bluetooth. Finally, your Apple Account must have two-factor authentication enabled. As far as your passport is concerned, it must be a United States passport, and it must not be expired. If your iPhone and passport meet these requirements, you can add your passport to your iPhone. Heres how: Open the Wallet app. Tap the + button. Tap Drivers License and ID Cards. Tap Digital ID. Tap Add to iPhone and Apple Watch or Add to iPhone Only. Scan the photo page of your U.S. passport when prompted. Use your iPhone to scan the chip on the inside back cover of your passport when prompted. Take a live photo of your face when prompted and follow the facial movement instructions that appear on the screen. Once youve gone through the steps above, Apple will verify the details from your scanned passport and your facial movements, and your iPhone will then send you a notification when your passport information, contained in what Apple calls your Digital ID, is available in the Wallet app. Verification is usually done within a few minutes. [Photo: Apple] What information does your Digital ID hold? The new Digital ID on your iPhone contains much of the information in your passport. This includes your: Legal name Date of birth Age Sex Passport number Passport issue date Passport expiration date If you open the Wallet app, tap your Digital ID, then tap the i button, youll even be able to see your passport photo on the Physical Passport Information screen. You cant use your digital passport everywhere The first thing many people are likely to think when they hear they can now add their U.S. passport to their iPhone is, Great! I dont need to carry my physical passport with me anymore. Unfortunately, this isnt true. Your passports information, stored in your new Digital ID card in iOS 26s Wallet app, can be used as an identity document to get through some airport checkpointsbut the keyword is some. Apple says its new Digital ID is currently in beta, and during that beta stage it can be used at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints in more than 250 airports in the U.S. for in-person identity verification during domestic travel. But while your new Digital ID will get you past TSA security checkpoints at these 250-plus locations, it cannot be used for international travel or at border crossings. Digital ID gives more people a way to create and present an ID in Apple wallet even if they do not have a REAL ID-compliant drivers license or state ID, Apple says. Digital ID is not a replacement for a physical passport, and cannot be used for international travel and border crossing in lieu of a U.S. passport. Can I rely on my digitized passport for domestic travel? Even if youre flying domestically, its still wise to carry alternate acceptable forms of ID that will get you through a TSA checkpoint. This includes your REAL ID-compliant drivers license or your actual physical U.S. passport, which is also REAL ID-compliant. Apple says you can use your newly digitized passport on your iPhone at TSA checkpoints at more than 250 airports in the U.S.,” but the company was unable to provide me with a list of these airports. An Apple spokesperson told me that most major U.S. airports, including John F. Kennedy International (JFK) and San Francisco International (SFO), accept Digital ID. However, since the TSA is the authority regarding where Digital ID is accepted, Apple directed me to the government agency for a list of airports that recognize the new ID. (As of this writing, the TSA has not yet responded to my inquiry.) You can store your U.S. passport on your iPhone. But should you? One concern individuals may have is whether putting their passport on their iPhone is a wise move from a privacy and security standpoint. Apple says the Digital ID on your iPhone is encrypted, and since your passports information is locked behind Face ID or Touch ID, even if someone had access to your phone, they couldnt access your passport information. Those who worry that using a Digital ID will mean theyll need to hand their iPhone over to TSA staff at the airport can rest easy, too. If you want to use your Digital ID at a TSA checkpoint, you wont have to unlock your iPhone or hand the device over to TSA staff. Instead, youll present your Digital ID much like you do a credit card you use wit Apple Pay: Youll place your phone near a TSA reader, and your iPhone will alert you to the passport information it will share. Further, it will share this information only with your authorization, which you give by double-clicking the iPhones side button and scanning your biometrics using the iPhones Face or Touch ID. By allowing users to add their passport information to their iPhone, Apple has made the upcoming holiday travel season a little more convenient for many with domestic flights to catch. Too bad that’s likely to be the only convenient thing about U.S. air travel in the weeks ahead.
