Apple has announced that the updated version of CarPlay will be available in cars next year. For now, the company has only said that the new CarPlay version will be available for Aston Martin. Apple is also showing off what the new CarPlay system looks like in a Porsche.
With CarPlay, drivers can connect their iPhones to the car, where the two can communicate with each other and the driver can, for example, play music in the car via Spotify. Apple announced a new version of CarPlay in the middle of last year, through which CarPlay can control more screens and display more information about them.
In addition, iPhone receives more information about the car in this new version of CarPlay. For example, CarPlay must have access to the car’s climate control system, seat and steering wheel heating, and FM radio antenna. The current version of CarPlay is similar to Android Auto and essentially takes over the car’s infotainment screen. The idea is that by being able to exchange more information between the car and phone, and allowing the phone to control more screens, drivers will have to switch less frequently between CarPlay and the car manufacturer’s operating system.
apple Let Cool Hunting know, among other things Aston Martin will deliver the new generation of CarPlay in cars next year. The company is showing images of what the new version of CarPlay looks like. In the Aston Martin example, CarPlay takes over the dashboard with the tachometer and speedometer, as well as the infotainment screen. When introducing the new version of CarPlay, Apple said that users can also choose different dashboards themselves. Apple says this toolkit was developed in conjunction with Aston Martin.
In addition to the Aston Martin, Apple is also showing images of the new CarPlay version in the Porsche. It is not yet known when Porsche will offer the new CarPlay version to customers. In addition to Aston Martin and Porsche, Apple said a year and a half ago that the new version of CarPlay should also come to Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and others.
The top two images are for the Aston Martin updated CarPlay version, and the bottom two images are the Porsche updated CarPlay version.
