When last year at WWDC showed Apple the world the concept of a new generation of automotive infotainment CarPlay, has literally thrilled many Apple fans. Compared to the current version, his future vision is significantly more sophisticated, more modern and, due to its much deeper integration into the car system, more usable. The catch, however, is that we didn't get to see it last year either, and now it's starting to seem more and more likely that this year won't be any happier in this regard either. On the website Applu is still shining after this year's last one Keynote the announcement "Vehicle announcements coming in late 2023", however, the exact models are still nowhere to be found. However, this is not the only thing from which one could almost conclude that Apple na CarPlay coughs.

If we pass about a year and a half without any further information about the new generation Apple CarPlay, there are two other things that don't make sense about it. The first is the fact that it Apple has improved only slightly in recent years. Some of you will certainly object now that CarPlay there is nothing to improve, but the same can be said about pale blue, in my opinion, for quite a few years now, perhaps even about iOS and so on, but on WWDC us Apple every year, it convinces that there is some room for improvement, whether in the form of adding new features or simply redesigning existing functions. However, while the operating system iOS and others are given these upgrades, CarPlay they are Apple avoids
This is what the new generation should look like CarPlay
The second thing that can make fans CarPlay to some extent, it is a fact that Apple not even on his official American one microsite dedicated to CarPlay has not yet updated the iPhones that CarPlay support. The 15 series has been out for almost two months now, and one would expect that it would be Apple on their websites - especially at CarPlay, which is at least according to some previous surveys quite popular among car owners. The fact that the website is out of date may to some extent indicate that Apple this is a relatively uninteresting direction that will not receive any major upgrades in the foreseeable future, which in connection with the news that has recently swept the internet regarding the fact that car manufacturers are planning to Apple CarPlay a Android Auto to deprive, quite frightening.
It will be very interesting which way it goes Apple in the coming months and years of infotainment CarPlay However, we as fans certainly wish that this option not only remains, but that it develops as much as possible and therefore becomes more usable than it is now. But everything is in his hands. Apple.
It's a big shame, but it's one of the must-have features in the car.
Apple Car Play I don't use it in any car, it's a disjointed, infantile design in combination with infotainment from BMW and other brands. I never even missed it...
You see I use it every day and I'm happy with it... what system do you use in your car?
Exactly, carplay it's absolutely great, I use it on aftermarket radios
Android auto he is also good
It seems to me that these solutions are in every way better than what the integrated car companies have
Exactly the opposite for me, when choosing a new car it is one of the almost mandatory equipment. Infotainment in many of them is made senselessly, maps and navigation are not always at the top, both visually and functionally (the exception is electric cars, where there is an interesting connection with the car from the point of view of the battery, charging, range, search for free charging, etc.)
I have music in my phone, several navigation app, podcasts and other things. Some car companies take care of their apartments quite well and their systems are not bad, so even if you change cars from time to time, take them from a rental company abroad, it's nice to have "your" system, your applications and everything "like at home".
I wonder if the fact that some car companies don't want to play a role in this doesn't play a role Apple let go deeper into the system and comes up with its own solution….so it is Apple now at a dead end and he prefers not to say anything because he doesn't even have anything to say.
Exactly. If he changes something in iOS, it immediately affects many end devices. You don't have to ask anyone.
If I want to change/add something in CarPlay, they have to haggle and make ends meet at car companies (regular units and corporations at that). Who would enjoy that…
It's not like he has everything in his hands apple. He really has nothing in his hands. they are all in the hands of the car companies and given that none of them have an interest in prenechat applu all the software in the car, it's probably dead.
I personally would like it, but even at the presentation I could not have imagined that any car company would go into it. I was expecting one or two smaller partners - some small American hobby car companies, but now it looks like that won't come either.
