Amazon Obscures Order Emails to Block AI, Breaking Apple Wallet Tracking
SuB8u · x · 2026-07-30
Amazon recently changed its order confirmation emails, replacing specific product names with vague category terms (e.g., showing diapers as "3 Drugstore Items").
This change directly breaks the Apple Wallet feature introduced in iOS 26, which used AI to scan emails and extract order tracking info. The author notes this is a sign of "walled gardens in the AI era," predicting more platforms will adopt similar tactics to prevent third-party AI applications from reading structured data.
