Apple teases next-generation CarPlay: Apple Car preview?

By Scott Marlette Last updated Jun 7, 2022

This year’s WorldWide Developer Conference saw Apple introduce the next generation of its car interface – CarPlay. While CarPlay doesn’t typically take the spotlight here at PhoneArena, we think this new version deserves special attention, as it probably gives us a peek at some of the developments that happened around the heavily rumored Apple Car project.

Apple Car is probably the most controversial unannounced product in the company’s history. At one point in time, it almost seemed like an announcement was imminent, but then, all of a sudden, rumors started flying around of Apple dramatically scaling back the project’s scope, reducing it to possibly a software platform the company could offer to car manufacturer partners.

Since then, the flow of news about Apple’s mysterious car project suddenly dropped to almost zero. That is why it was so interesting when Apple today tried hard to drive home the point that the next generation of CarPlay is going to be a big thing for next-gen cars.

And indeed, what Apple showed seemed like nothing we’ve seen in terms of car media systems. That is probably because the next version of Car Play will be so much more than a media system.

CarPlay 2-enabled cars will benefit from advanced communication between your iPhone and the car’s onboard computer, meaning that your iPhone will receive all kinds of information about the current state of the car, from speed and RPM, to the settings of the A/C. You read that right.

But this is just the start. Apple’s plan envisions the possibility to control each and every display in your car. Imagine your whole instruments dashboard, central console display and everything else displaying a consistent, iOS-inspired interface that looks exactly tailored for your vehicle, display all kinds of information and allowing you control over your vehicle’s features. And with just a swipe of the finger, you can switch the whole look and feel of your car’s UI.

If there is a way for Apple to truly and definitively invade your car, this has to be it.

Apple has shared that vehicles supporting the next generation of CarPlay will start to be announced later this year.
