TL;DR

Apple is launching Digital IDs stored in Apple Wallet, allowing users to present their ID at TSA checkpoints in over 250 US airports using their iPhone or Apple Watch, primarily for domestic travel. The feature, which requires scanning a physical passport and facial verification, is encrypted and not a replacement for physical passports or international travel. It is initially rolling out in select airports, with future plans to expand to other businesses and organizations.
