iPhone User runs out of Secure Element space

A bit of context:<p>Apple devices had a hard limit on the number of cards that could be stored on the secure element, depending on hardware version. Originally it was a limit of 8 cards, while the latest devices could manage up to 16. Attempts to provision more than that number would fail until a user removed one of the existing cards.<p>iOS 17 seems to have removed the hard cap in favor of a more dynamic limit, based on actual space used. Depending on the mix of applets in use, it looks like the new functional limit is substantially higher than it was previously.<p>[Here&#x27;s](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;iOSBeta&#x2F;comments&#x2F;144idjq&#x2F;ios17_db10_wallet_app_arbitrary_card_limit_has&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;iOSBeta&#x2F;comments&#x2F;144idjq&#x2F;ios17_db10...</a>) a Reddit thread with a bit more discussion and some additional screenshots of the new UI, including in English.

Oh wow did not know this was something that was user facing. 40 cards do seem reasonable though?

That&#x27;s impressive, honestly. I&#x27;ve never seen this UI before. Apple&#x27;s categorization choices for showing storage size—Felica, Amex, Mastercard; when we&#x27;re used to things like Photos and apps—are particularly interesting.

Does anyone have a translation of the post&#x2F;picture?<p>The X translation seems to be failing.

They have like 2-3 dozen credit cards stored in there.
