Apple’s Passbook Gets QR Code Scanning

Apple’s Passbook application appears to be getting QR code scanning support through Apple’s new iOS 7 update.

As iMore noted, a stock Passbook card imagine on Apple.com shows a “Scan Code” button in the app’s upper right-hand corner. This means that Passbook passes could potentially be added via QR code.

In more recent Apple news, the company was awarded a “key iWallet patent” as part of a series of 37 new patents on Tuesday.
