***Post update: I've been told that the new Wallet Card limit is now 16 cards. You must be running iOS 15 version 3 or higher to unlock this!
Today my Apple Wallet on my iPhone is all of a sudden allowing me to add more than 12 cards. Usually I get a message I’m at the maximum number of 12, which I always thought was unfair because the Apple Cash Card counts as 1 of the 12 and I had no say in adding it, but I digress.
Today so far it has allowed me to reach 14 cards and the option to add even more cards is still available. I can’t add more than 12 to my Apple Watch though. I dont know yet what the new maximum is. I also don’t know if it is tied to a specific iOS as I am running iOS 15 Public Beta 3, which I installed yesterday! Someone on iOS 14 try it out and let me know if you can add more than 12 cards too!
This actually makes me *so* happy! I like having all my cards in the phone, and was really upset at being limited
Hey Jordan,
I am updating my phone as we speak but I am beta on my IPAD and you are correct I have 12 cards plus Apples 2.

Just ugraded to 14.7 on my Iphone. Still only 12 cards permitted. Might be a IOS 15 thing like my Ipad.

@mkhan1093 Awesome! I'm glad you can now get them all!
Before this update happened my workaround had been using the Apple Watch to add the other cards that wouldn't fit on my phone. Technically both the Phone and Watch get 11 slots if you exclude the Apple Cash card. So you could get 22 cards total if needed if you also have an Apple Watch before the new iOS 15 update. I've been told that the new limit is 16 cards.

@FeeBear Oh nooooooooo! I've had a few others also tell me on iOS 14.7 they still can only do 12. I've had people with iOS 15.3 also confirm they got the extra slots. I guess for those that can wait they'll get it in September. For those like me that can't wait they can always upgrade now at beta.apple.com
Yes I love apple wallet for this reason; cards are so easy to manage and maintain active. Most places now accept apple pay. My iphone 6 allows 8(7) but enough for me.
