Did covid really do that? The iPhone camera app has been able to read QR codes out of the box since iOS 11 (released in 2017)

  To my memory: the timing was off. QR codes (in the consumer-facing context) kind of peaked and died out before the iPhone camera app would scan them in large part because non-techies would not download an app just to scan a code. Apple added support, but there didn't seem to be enough emphasis to revisit them until COVID.

  Adoption != technical capability. The OP is talking about adoption.

    Apple wouldn't implement the capability if they didn't think it had the adoption

      Just like when they automatically added the U2 album to everyones phone? Apple isn't immune.
