    How is different to the current system? Aren't all those things already possible in Apple wallet?

    No.

    One gets the feeling that the EU is being targetted because of some of
    the EC's actions.

    Nonsense.

    As a brit I wonder if we'll be tarred with the EU brush or whether we'll
    get things like Apple Intelligence etc?

    Nobody grills a separate sausage for the Brits. Learn to live with it.
